The club is in desperate need for at least one state of the art stand with decent toilets, bars and hopefully a new lounge. In an ideal world all four sides would be done but you couldn't justify that on current gates and income.

A new 2,500 - 3,000 stand would leave a lasting legacy and add credibility to the club as a professional sports outfit.
That last sentence evoked horrible memories involving the Aldershot Tattoo and White Elephants but the first sentence of the second paragraph is undoubtedly true - and for the players' sakes I would add changing rooms to the list.
