I reckon next summer could see the roof of the main stand and possible extension being implemented, she almost said as much in her interview, also thought I read about some grants being available next summer.


The tender process for the Main Stand works happened. There’s apparently a good reason why the work didn’t.

They've said no such thing. They have a policy of not talking about things until they have something concrete to announce.

All work at BP that has taken place and is planned is just to patch it up and keep parts of the ground open.


I'm not fussed about the policy of not talking about things until it's actually happening. It's not exactly true though, because they have told us about some of their plans for the training ground.

All those drawings, baseball caps and photos with spades in the ground at Great Coates or Peaks Parkway achieved the square root of FA.

In Debbie's interview I believe she hinted at there being further funding available next year, i'm pretty sure someone on here said that aswell.

Thought it had been mentioned previously that as part of the new TV deal money will be available to EFL clubs to help with ground improvements and training grounds, so they are hoping to access some of this..

I suppose the work being a considerable deal more expensive or being eligible for a grant in 12 months time are very good reasons for that.

Ground improvements:

Putting the temporary bar back in the entrance to the Findus would help, the queues in the lower bar are horrendous at half-time.


Access in and out of the Upper is poor with low crowds. A nearly sold out Upper, coupled with people standing around the lobby with beer in hand is a terrible idea.

It was good to have the extra bar when the ground was half empty but it was overly cramped when we had a big crowd. Ferry the hospitality lot in from Cheapside on a coach, bin the car park off and have a giant outside bar there.
