That just means they're sending Connor down to Screwfix to buy some LED bulbs !!!

Western terrace is a bigger footprint than it looks. Pitch doesn’t need moving. Ideally we’d replace Benidorm flats with a stand for away fans and western stand with media facilities for home fans.

Boxes are getting a thing of the past, most new corporate facilities don’t seem to have separate boxes anymore.

Indulge me, my idea of what we might end up with.

It is but that's not the problem.

As someone who trust me has seen many plans, all rejected by WMDC for the western terrace, access is the issue, it has none. Trying to do anything other than terracing to the western terrace is an utter waste of time and money. It's best left for the away fans, just smarter with a proper roof. The potential is the south stand, which certainly does have a far bigger footprint than you think and does have access and is pretty much a blank canvas if you knock the flats down.

What plans were these? can’t remember anything submitted since the west stand was knocked down. What do you mean by access? Been to many stadium football and rugby that seem to have less access than the west side of Belle Vue.

Look good think we’d all be happy with that. I reckon 1st stage is East, North lights and pitch as planned. Then South and West would be Salford City FC style stands.

I'm sure Snowie will know from his personal involvement a few years ago, but I seem to recall that the north terracing consisted of the BISON concrete pre-cast hollow floor slabs that consisted of about 25mm top and bottom thickness of concrete with a hollow core of approx. 100mm. Over the years of supporting the crowds the top thickness used to crack and subside exposing the void. Subsequently the voids were filled with poured concrete patching which over time tended to create an uneven surface,
I don't recall a wholesale replacement of the north terracing in my time of attending BV.

It may be me but from the sketch drawings i see the car park is set/done ??, But cannot see it as an item in the list to Do ??
is the gym & training facilities for the players as per type we need for winter close season training ( which we borrow now) in the 2nd phase, we also need to have included a physio - surgery room for the club doctor & his staff to tend injuries etc, etc, but I see no mention in the listings, may be this can be in the questions posed ?
