| Thought this was worth a new thread.
I may not be universally popular but I hope my record on the stadium issue is pretty good.
I now have the full story but for confidentiality reasons I’ll keep it limited on here. It’s an outside source but well connected to the development though not the club.
Firstly the North stand is restricted to 1500 at present and may drop further if left untouched. That is a fact. The new terracing on the North stand should be easy enough to extend if needed in the future so no need to panic. I’m assured it won’t look as bad as you think.
Ugly as it may appear to some the new scheme will double that 1500 and will meet all safety standards.
The final capacity of BV as a whole will be 7600. That is actually over 2000 more than we started this season with. So think on, for all the ridiculous IMO moaning and pettiness that’s a massive leap in so many ways.
Secondly I’m hoping to meet with JM at his invitation at some point and I will confirm some questions I have.
It’s extremely open and generous of JM to do this, hopefully there will be another SWAG person with me so it won’t just be my word.
I’ve no idea when this will happen but should it go ahead I am willing to field some sensible questions. STADIUM ONLY!
From my own point of view please stop the sniping. Where players, coaches and performances are concerned that’s fair game. On this one it’s utterly unfair. The club are doing their best with what has now become a relatively small budget, let’s just see shall we!
All poster replies welcome except for cosmicat, I cannot be held responsible where he is concerned. I’d like this to be a constructive thread please.
Thanks

| Ok. Incredible meeting with so much discussed.
I will attempt in the next week or so to tell you what was said. I will need to run it past JM before I do so. This is because I need to be sure that I’m not letting out sensitive info as much of what was discussed is still ongoing.
Things I can tell you are.
I walked on the pitch and it’s incredibly flat. What it isn’t is noticeably higher, maybe 6 inches at most.
The pitch offers 30 - 40 hours a week usage which I think is a heck of a lot. We will save a young players wage not having to rent training facilities.
All being well the steal work will go up in October.
The North stand can be extended at a later date, however that will only be if there is a demand for extra capacity. As explained to me it will look better than you might think, a lot better.
I believe JM will put out a release at some point to explain. However this will be when he gets the chance as they are incredibly busy.
There is loads more to report but bear with me please.
As for as on field, I honestly got nothing but then I didn’t really ask.

Whose saying it? If you go on the planning portal the revision was made in August. Reduces capacity but not sure how it’s uglier.

It was this bit. I may have been reading it out of context.

Sorry I meant in an engineering respect. What it will look like will depend on how they finish it off.
