Cash is king, or so our MD keeps telling us.

Also speculate to accumulate. Something like that will pay for itself in a couple of seasons.

Sorry!!
Not only sobering but it shows what we have been missing and what the right people can achieve in such a short space of time, with the right plan and a bit of vision.

I can't believe they've put a support post directly in front of where I stand.
If I get a bad neck looking round it - I'll sue.

Fair point well made, but if the plans were forced to change so much that we couldn't have made the criteria, we'd stand a better chance with the RFl is we were almost complying than not at all. But that's all pretty irrelevant I suppose as long as the RLF are happy with it.
Cheeer

Indeed, think I read somewhere Trinity lose approximately £30k per match when it rains, so only 10 rainy days are needed in the next two to three years for the stands to pay for themselves. Lets hope for a wet summer.

Thinking back only 50 years there used to be a very large covered stand where the "hostility" blocks (I like that name ) are now. It was basically a tin roof but in principle no different to what is being put up now. If it rained most standing fans were in there. If I remember rightly - and that's not certain nowadays! - you did used to get a great atmosphere in there.

I presume the stand will be going the full length of the terrace (or atleast the majority of it)? I know its still early days, but the supports look like they only going half the length of the terrace so far
