Excellent work Vasty, like it

Wren cat, I totally agree with what you've said regards the cause of the apathy.

The sooner we knock down and rebuild one side of the stadium the better, I think it'll signal a significant upturn in interest within the City

Another example of the voluntary talents on here, should the club come calling??
Nice work Vasty.

You've managed to Tarmac over a house Vasty.

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

Yeah I know possibly being a bit optimistic that it may be part of any redevelopment (should it happen, that's for wren wink).

Yes indeed I'll e-mail you a PDF.

When you take the footprint of the present ground and superbowl together there is certainly enough land to build a very good facility and what you have produced clearly demonstrates this.
So if we assume the funding can be raised , another problem arises, how can it be built whilst we still play there?

The hardest part would be the Western Terrace because the only access would be over the ground itself. I would think that would have to be done first, then work backwards over the North terrace. Demolishing the East stand and replacing that would be the easiest bit logistically, but would have to come last.

Ideally it would be best to do it all at once rather than bits at a time, but what ever way you look at things I think it would be extremely difficult to do without having at least one season 'on the road' somewhere else.

Could play at Oakwell for a season

Yup.

IMHO it would be a fantastic ground, a real RL ground but modern and reflecting the summer game. I have a feeling it would very quickly establish itself as most other fans favourite away ground which in itself is a revenue earner.

Logically the best way to do it would a one season hit funds allowing. I think a few big matches at Barnsley for demo purposes would be ideal but personally I'd rather keep whatever cash we have to pay out within the game making Featherstone the best alternative should they agree. I also think the RFL should help with the cost of the Barnsley as they would definitely fall under developing the game.

We may assuming Fev are still a Championship team be able to pay part of any rent in kind by permanently loaning them some players for the season again assuming they wanted any.

Finally the west terrace is bigger than most people think and you could actually fit a smaller version of the stand thats built into the side of the banking at Hudds (opposite main stand) that has access from under the stand. However this is more expensive and not needed in the summer game IMHO. Im also trying to create with the west terrace a BV equivalent of the grass bankings you used to get at NRL grounds, although in our case it would be concrete terracing. I see only the central area covered with the rest open where folk can stand in the sun enjoying a beer purchased from one of the bars in the paved areas either side. Perhaps a little landscaping as well to give a park feel now would''t that be a nice way to treat paint customers. Basically a very informal area where people can mingle and move about, or a nicer version of what's already there.

Me personally would not like to give foot all RL money, I 'd rather it go to Cas! than football.

I thought it was dark this morning
