Fair comment, but that could've been happening for the last three years. If that is a genuine concern then fair enough.

true but stewards could do that who are getting payed anyway.plus i may be wrong but even part time staff have rights to things like holidays nowadays or they could be agency which means they are not getting payed much but cost rovers maybe double

I could be a long way from the truth, but the club will look at every scenario, and if they feel the turnstiles are a priority, then so be it in my opinion.

Apologies. I didn't realise we were having a serious conversation! (You load the chum too thick for us dopey East Hull types at times!). And similar sentiments to Wellsy for further derailing his thread...
Best value for money at the moment, for least capital out lay for returns would be to put another golf stand in front of the ludicrous terrace. The finance for the North is clearly not there or work would have started by now.

I personally don't think we can, as a club, grow attendances on a regular basis by much more than about 2k. But, if, we had a 12/14k stadium we'd certainly attract more walk up as at the moment I believe that most of that element of potential support don't bother because they're unlikely to get a ticket.

With reagard to the stadium I was thinking about this on Sat and what is to stop us extending the east and then bring in another temp stand for the south?
Its not perfect but it solves some probelms in the very short term.
1 It gets rid of the awful current south stand.
2 It gives us more capacity
3 It gives us more capacity for away fans (As both the north and south would/could be available.

I agree with you, as a temp measure, it would do the job. Lets face it the new north stand is mainly aimed at coporate facilities with a secondary thought to raising capacity.

Am I right in thinking that any east extension would counteract the loss of the south?
Meaning that a Temp stand would be added to the total capicity?

I would imagine the figures would show that yeah at a guess.

So doing that would push us just over 11k but with more seats.

And, doing that as a temporary fix would hopefully bring back an element to The East thats been lacking, which is opposition fans. Great atmosphere that it is in there, I used to really enjoy having a natter with fans of other clubs.

I've heard murmurs that the north stand plans have been shelved for now in favour of completing the east stand and doing 'something' with the south end.

Whether that's building a new stand/terrace or simply putting another temp stand there, I don't know. But it makes more sense to address the worse areas of the ground rather than the one's that are ok.

Frustrating as it is, I can understand the club keeping their cards close to their chest as so many clubs make promises regarding stadia that never happen.
