Not enough room for the 2600 seats we now have in the North Stand, no office space for the business hub or the restaurant facilities added, no grant or council help without the last two and we would have had to shut the west stand during the upgrade. I cannot see any benefit or cost saving to the club in doing that at all at this time. When the south stand is done we will have a four sided ground and the club can look at the west stand, I would suggest extending the south end at ground level first followed by a new roof for both the west and east stands. The west could then have additional seats added towards the south and a connecting section to the north (assuming the caveat has expired from the grants for the North), all this will not be possible until the economy has picked up and monies are available for investment in the club.

Your seats were half empty as Arundel touched down the other week.

Just half empty? So the corporates, elderly and posh people were on't edge of their seat? How did that affect the rest of the ground which is standing?

That stand isn't open yet.

You don't have seats in any other stand ? Wow.

Whooooosh.
