I think those artists impressions are brilliant. The ground really starts to look like a stadium. The club should press on with this in spite of the low gates. If people think they are going to a proper ground it might help boost crowds (you could give half those seats to away fans as well (I think already mentioned).

I look forward to Kipax's pics as the framework starts to go up!

Observer today

The Chairman also confirmed that work will begin on a 1000 seater stand on the Whinney Hill terrace but they have written to the FA to ask for dispensation. "... what is the point if there is nobody to sit on them? ..... but it seems mad building a £1m stand that no-one will sit in, and we will have to find investment for half as the Football Foundation grants are only half the amount ....... we hope to start work shortly if we have to"

There we go. It is going up this pre-season if it has to (unless the FA feel sorry for us) and it is the £1m one rather than the temporary one that keeps on being mentioned. Worryingly though we have still to find the investment ot pay for the half that the grants won't. Hyndburn Council are you listening? get your hand in your pocket and we'll make it community based other than matchday.

What you on about?? Macca was quoting Eric from the Observer, you know Eric Whalley - the Chairman - not saying it as himself as Chairman of the OSC, which he isn't now anyways but I digress, get your facts straight before you start harping on

Sorry Mucca, The FA have already stated we must put in a further 1,000 seats before the end of next season to stay in the Football League, regardless of where we finish next season. Personally, I hope that the computer imagery is something like but we shall see. So Eric's pleas fell on deaf ears, or if the facilities are improved then maybe we will attract more support from the locals and attendances will improve. We shall see.

The way I understand it, its naff all to do with the Football Association (FA)

It is however a Football League rule that by the end of the 3rd season of membership ALL grounds WILL have 2000 seats.

Funding is available from the Football Foundation and maybe other sources. We need to see how much we can obtain from these other sources by diversifying the use of the ground on non match days.

Barnet had the problem and overcame it, Morecambe will be in the same boat, as will Dagenham.

IMHO if your in the FL comply; there are plenty of others who will willingly take our place

Stevenage, Exeter, Oxford, York, Halifax, Woking, R&D, Kiddy, Alty, Barrow to name a few!!

Pendle Red · 15-05-2008, 19:15

I thought Morecambe were moving to a New Ground for the 2009/10 Season
