New roof

How are the busses going to get to and from Harrington street?
the side streets are too narrow and will be busy with football traffic.

Wherever the football stadium is situated there will be traffic problems, say I stating the obvious. The point is though you just have to look for solutions, or a series of solutions that makes it better for the majority of fans. Nothing is unsurmountable in terms of logistics whatever the circumstances so even if somebody builds us a new stadium tomorrow the traffic logistics would still need solving.

I don't think they have shown this part of their armoury yet but I would expect the owners to come up with clever solutions for the stadium, the capacity and the problems anything new brings.

Quoted from Davec

That is very last minute.com, leaving them just over a week to find a company who has the availability to come out immediately and assess what needs to be done etc and then get it completed in such a short time frame

I can only assume the lack of notice come about due to sudden structural damage/failure of the roof?

The club were actually quite fortunate with this one, two experts were in the area and noticed one of the sheets had slipped so they stopped their white transit pick up, knocked on the office door and said they could do the job as it was a serious threat to safety.....£500 if it was cash...agreement made and the men set about their task.
Just a few hours later they returned to the office and said it was worse than expected and had to strip the entire roof, and replacement would now be £100k .

Two experts? This sounds like the Irish travellers who tried to scam my parents out of money by knocking on their door about their roof  lol.

I’d say that either end would be a good start!

Maybe docks beers might do a shuttle bus service (say £10 gets you a pint and the bus).

They did this last year, not sure what uptake was but it was £10 for travel and a pint...

The away team buses manage it.

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Could there be provisions to make Harrington street a kind of bus lane (football traffic only*) from 1-6ish for weekend home games 🤷🏻‍♂️. Totally realise that this is out of the clubs hands

And also wouldn’t it make sense for new clee train station to be utilised a lot more by the train companies



*residents excepted

They can’t make it a dogshit free zone so you’ve got no chance 🤔😂

Screw tractor watch I want roof watch.

Quoted from grimps

People seem to be adamant that we can change the height or the gradient of a possible new Main stand .
It doesn’t seem to ever stop bungalows being able to build higher dormers etc when seeking planning permission.
I’m sure they could easily rebuild something holding 5000 seats plus all the amenities needed underneath

The Main Stand capacity at the moment is said to be around 2300.  Looking at satellite images, I'd say closer to 4000 was theoretically possible.

If Stockwood and Pettit did build a new stand, I'd like to think they would not annoy the neighbours by making it higher than the current one.
