Morning Fishies,
              
                        I have brought these points up before early last season so maybe someone has any idea if any progress has been made.

                       1.   The PA system, apparently the cost was very prohibitive so other avenues were being pursued, have we gone down the cul-de-sac. LoL

                        2.  The handicap supporters protection from the weather, a design was muted all seems to be v quiet.

You could email the club and ask them directly.  They are very good at answering questions

Another interesting point in the Trust minutes is in relation to safe standing.  Trust have asked the club to confirm to fans that it's being looked at but lots of work to do just to see if it's a viable option in relation to increasing ground capacity.

If it's an increase in capacity then I can only think it's going to happen in the open corners.  Safe standing won't increase capacity if you do it on a like-for-like basis, for example a block in the Pontoon.  You can only put the same amount of standing capacity as you can seating.  

Hindsight is amazing but it's such a bloody shame we knocked down the terraces that we used to have in the corners.  It was 6 years after we knocked them down that we put temporary seating in those corners.  Wouldn't it have been simpler to just put seats on those concrete terraces in the first place?

Imperial corner was my favourite place to watch from.  Started off as a 5 year old having to stand on a ‘pop’ crate that my father used to carry to every game.  Happy days.

Bit of a waste of the Trust’s time isn’t it? It’s only been made legal, by licence, in the Premier League & Championship.

Fans are asking the question. They represent the fans so are asking further questions. If you don't ask, you don't get. The Trust are exactly the kind of organisation to lobby on our behalf for something like this so I don't think it's a waste of their time.

The imperial was where I was introduced to town and my Dad used a crate in the same way for me… god it’s dusty in here-got something in my eye!
