There's not many grounds with 4,500 in, that can generate a better atmosphere. It does go flat if Town struggle though, but that will be the same anywhere. The officials get a hard time from the crowd when they are crap which can help.

Shame that some  people don't (want to) listen to  suggestions Rose is on fire And your scotch eggs are fu(king vile

I think we are the only league club that doesn't have at least one side stand that covers the entire length of the pitch. People sat high in the upper Findus are so far from the players that they are not inclined to provide vocal support. Any noise they do make goes over the Main Stand and out to the estuary.

There was no all-seater requirement at that time. They should have just built a fully-covered standing terrace. If I was GTFC chairman with several million pounds in my bank account, I would dismantle most of the upper Findus and use the seats to extend the lower tier and Main Stand. The ground capacity would be the same, but there would be a much better atmosphere, especially at the Pontoon end. I would also remove the windows from the corporate boxes, as people sat behind glass don't make any noise for the team.

There was no all-seater requirement at that time. They should have just built a fully-covered standing terrace. At the time it was built they were considering rotating the pitch 90 degrees and buying up the houses behind the main stand. There is space below the stand for dressing rooms and it would have been the right size for an end. Ultimately this never happened.

Lots of people owned cars by 1982. The lack of parking spaces must have been an issue even then. Did GTFC make any effort to acquire the land where Sainsbury's and Alexandra Retail Park were built? Could the Fishing Heritage Centre and Heritage House have been incorporated into a new stadium at Garth Lane? It annoys me that the club seems to have had its head in the sand for decades with regard to relocation. We paid a big price in 1995 when BP was made all-seater. Ground capacity and atmosphere was lost.
