I'm working on the theory that no news is good news. The planning process can be extremely long, especially on a scheme of this size. Unless i hear otherwise, i will assume it's still going ahead.

10k stadium is realistically all that is required for now. Just make the away section in a side stand, not directly behind the goal

The problem with that Woz is if we have a bit of success and move up the leagues it will not be big enough,

14,000 is about right imo and it will not need to be extended unless we reach the Prem.

Not really thought down to that level of detail, but I think this is a good idea for atmosphere

Pete, do you really think 14k would be needed week in week out even if we were in the higher reaches of League 1?
Would we have 14k if we were in the Championship these days?

I think that's realistic mate. Maybe with success, if there are open corners, then this can be added to (like stoke are doing/have done)

Away crowds still aren't massive at this level, so space for 1000/1500 should be ample.

I have a feeling the club are purposely keeping everything low key at this stage. Yes it would be good to have regular updates on how the project is progressing. But the least the NIMBYs know at this stage the better. Out of sight and out of mind. Gently does it and the boat wont get rocked. Lessons will have been learnt over the last 27 years of trying to overcome Grimsby NIMBYs

There won't be open corners by the looks of it, what a lot are doing now are putting in substantial footings foundations call it what you want so they can up the capacity by building an upper tier if needed.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Do you really think that? Do you really think that hearing nothing will stop the NIMBYs when the application finally goes in (if it ever does)?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

No it won't. But, the club will want to get as far as it can before facing the inevitable backlash. Drip feeding bits of information only fuels the fire of opposition. Only release information when there are solid facts to release.
