I'm sure projects such as a Sports Bar and Grill are welcoming attractions for the Trinity faithful but they also have to make money too and Matt is nobody's fool when it comes to business .

Match days will be busy but what about the off season , the weekday trade and so forth ?

Very hard business is Hospitality today at the best of times .

It was Matts idea. It’s not a fan recommendation or wish to have. I’m sure he's considered all the factors in such projects too.

He could always change his mind and the need for player gym facilities may take precedence as was originally planned a 2 floor gym in the south east.

I’m pretty sure it was already stated that this bar and grill would be started as soon as the season is over.

The kitchen place looks such a second rate building that demolition would probably be the first action. That gives more options to what could replace it.
Maybe just flatten it and extend the car park.

Just my opinion and personal preference but I'd love to see the creation of a Fan zone , Rugby League is blessed in this respect in the warmer summer months during the season .

Street food outlets , beers including local micro breweries , get some decent bands on , ice cream , slushies , sweets for the kids etc etc and make a bit of money off the rent you'd charge the providers .

Open it up 3 hours before KO and an hour afterwards perhaps .


We seem to be well covered in the new East Stand with the corporate punter and a birthday - special occasion match day experience supporter .

That would be great but where are you putting that?

I haven't seen anything to say what isn't actually meeting standard on the screen.
Anyone know?

I can see there is a problem with the screen. But that isn't the same as not meeting the standard.

Was there a proposal to sort the North Stand out? I think there was, but I can't remember.

So much unused space at the back of the stand that is an eyesore. Sorting it out will increase ground capacity ready for being back in super league. Also, it will improve the look of the ground.

I think this should be tackled as a priority.

Sorting the sound out in there would be good as well.

It's not the required size.

How that was purchased, I have no idea!

No we bought a pup “Caveat emptor”.

was more a case of meaning it’s a waste of money to have to replace when the £££££s could be used elsewhere

I'd personally look at the space at the side of the South Stand where it meets the West Terrace .

I'm only going on the one at Oakwell on Match days which is behind the East Stand and doesn't take up as much space as you'd imagine given the number of punters it serves especially early and late season , they even erect a stage for the band's as part of it .

Fair enough. I like it.
Think they use that for emergency services but even so I'm sure something can be done.
