Re: Q&A with Andy Holt and Dave Burgess
Got to agree with Northernsoul's well argued case regarding the pro's & cons of the proposed Whinney Hill stand.
Surely the opportunity this project presents is the chance to maximise the potential concourse space created beneath.
Even our modest Fanzone behind the Clayton end terrace made clever use of this area, with new toilets & kiosks.
If the new stand becomes just a watered down version of the original proposal with little room for additional facilities, it would be an opportunity missed & one which I feel the club would live to regret.
Frankly, I'm amazed that the original proposal didn't incorporate new team changing rooms.
Ours are infamous for being the worst, bar none, throughout the football league.
I'm sure these could & should be included and still leave room for toilets, catering areas etc.
This would allow the old cramped changing room area to be redeveloped for better use.
I'm sure Andy Holt, being the canny business man he is, will be fully aware of any grants, subsidies etc. available for such projects.
Yes of course, we don't need a 5000 seat behemoth. But the club need to give serious thought to maximising the money-making potential offered by this project.
