Re: Whinney Hill Stand
It would be nice owd bob , but i think the club will probably get a sponsor for the stand to give the club some income!

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
The club doesn't have to build a new stand they only have to provide more seating by the end of next season.

Not quite, yes the club could put the necessary seating in the Clayton end or the Hollands pie stand, but we would then have a capacity of less than 5,000 which is also a requirement for league football, hence the reason Barnet were relegated a few years back. Barnet had problems with the local council who refused expansion to stay in the league, however, I think it has now been done.

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
We're not going to build it untill weve assured survival. Barnet knocked up their new stand with offices etc in less then two weeks and it looks great. What would be the opoint of us building it now and it being a white elephant in the BSP???

Was there not a temporary structure already in place at Barnet before this Stand? If so would foundation work have already been in place? From what I have seen behind the Whinney Hill Stand there would be an awful lot of prep work involved, maybe our New Sponsors could assist?
I agree about the sentiments of possibly being a White Elephant but if we hang on till we are mathmatically safe we may have run out of time?

It is a bone of contention and I fully understand both sides of the arguement but I want to see Stanley push on to Bigger & Better things and as part of that we have to remain in the League

Barnet were relegated in 2000-2001 because they finished bottom of the league.

a) it won't be this season when it comes down.

b) It will be cheap, it's probably full of rust

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
I have to say I get the impression that the club has just stuck its head in the sand on this one. With a bit of imagination there's real potential.

Thats true, but if they had not finnished bottom they would still have been relegated as their ground was not up to League standards. The same will happen to Stanley at the end of next season if they have not added the extra 800+ seats (and kept the capcity above 5,000) - surely not a lot to ask in this day and age
