Surely cheaper to just burn it down, it’s time to refurbish BP properly even if it takes a few stages

I don't know what plan 1878 has for the main stand but I also heard that figure of £350k. The capacity is 2,277 over 23 home league games means it will cost about £6.68 per seat if the stand was filled every home game next season.

Half that etc. over the following seasons, again assuming each seat is taken. So the reality is that it will take several seasons to recoup that sort of expenditure, as the stand is seldom sold out, to recover that cost. Sentiment apart surely it is better to close the stand and spend the money increasing capacity int open corners of the pontoon; with a view to replacing the main stand.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Never said “to keep it operational” at all.

100% waste of money, they need to come up with a plan that doesn't involve sticking plasters.
