They are currently getting quotes for health and safety remedial work.

Bizarrely it was mentioned that they might consider taking out some of the posts but are waiting on tenders.

The quotes received so far are around £350k.

More sticking plasters. Not their fault at all, purely down to Fenty not investing and failing to deliver a new stadium.

I’d rather hoped we could be looking at modernising it and adding seats to increase capacity, not take some f@cking beams out for the best part of half a million quid. How could that make any sense in any regard?

Surely that might help in restricted view seats?

How many, and to the tune of what revenue?
Polishing a turd isn’t it.

I don't have the figures - do you? I don't think that the currently owners would consider anything unless it was commercially viable.

It’s not being done for cosmetic reasons. The roof support beams from the hallway line to the pontoon end are the original wooden ones and are no longer safe. The ones up the other end are steel and we’re replaced in the early 90s.
If the work isn’t carried out, the stand won’t get a safety certificate and won’t open next season.
I believe notice was first given before Fenty left but the club but the club had a few years to implement it .
