Thought I heard him say filling in the corners was being considered so not all doom and gloom on the seating availability front.


Yeah in the long term not anytime soon though , he genuinely never wants to leave BP does he ?or he is a good bluffer

Sorry, when did he say he ‘never wants to leave BP’? Must’ve missed that.

Dean ' have the increased attendances made you think about a new stadium in the future ?'

Stockwood 'Not really '

And then he went on to say about all the work that needs doing at bp  , next summer there will be major works on The Main and Osmond . He also said there is lot's more to do and the possibility of filling in the corners at BP if we filll it regularly.No real progress with the training ground.

I think we probably are staying at BP at least in the medium term , and will be ploughing a lot of money into it - hopefully a new PA system and disabled facilities is quite high on their 'list'.

Did anybody tell him it was a sellout. All very odd . Prefer honesty to BS.


If there weren't any tickets left for the home fans then it is a sell out. The "no show" ST contingent of fans doesn't come into it - that is a separate issue and is being addressed. My friend, who sits behind me in the Upper Youngs, couldn't attend, informed the club and his seat was made available and sold.

Most likely because they don't have the £50M or so it would require to build a new stadium. I would love an 8 bedroomed, 16 bathroomed, 44 reception roomed house with 20 garages, olympic sized swimming pool and a garden the size of a small village. I can't though, because I can't afford it. A bit like a new stadium, it isn't affordable.

They’ve not even delivered a new training ground they said we would have, so no chance of seeing a new ground in many of our lifetimes.

So maybe it's time for everyone to put their heads together to help make BP a decent facility - us fans and the trust included . Make our house as good as it can be .

I don’t doubt for one moment that a new stadium isn’t feasible at the moment. .
I also think that filling in the corners etc is more difficult and expensive than we realise.
So if JS says thats why it’s not happening then that’s fine.  
But to deny there is a problem (yes a nice one to have) when there clearly is, is frustrating. Especially from someone who seems to have a good handle on running this club and engaging with the fans.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Agree Civvy , he has consistently not recognised the issue (or is pretending ) we will have more demand than supply for at least 10 games with no seats being available for people that want to attend - we can debate until the cows come home how many that is , but surely it requires a relatively quick solution ?

I think knocking the police box down and extending the main stand round to the pontoon is the first thing to do.

The other corners can be done later but if we have a successful season the call for extending the main stand will only get louder and louder.

This is not a moan at Jason or Andrew I think they are doing all they can but there is so many other things they have to do because of the previous owner's neglect.

All things that need doing at the park will be done its just going to take time and a lot of money.

We have a great set of owners and board now all working for one goal a better environment for all and most importantly a listening ear for all fans.

Onwards and upwards together.
