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'"
This is really useful and informative. Thanks for doing this.
