[Outback Ozzy]

God - it seems we are all trying to run before we can walk. We are NOT in league 2 yet! Yes I know the promised land is nearly there, but we can still be caught. It has already been said that the current stadium will prove ok whilst in the early years back in league football even up to league one standard, however, unless we have a Dave Whelan to bankroll a new ground holding upwards of 25,000 (which last time I looked we hadn't and no one is going to throw 50 million at us so forget the lottery dreams) then we will have to wait a little while. Success breeds success, so if we continue in the same vein (whichever league we are in next year) then the crowds will increase. But all this clap trap about parking etc, the IES has already had crowds of 4,000 plus in the past and 3,000 plus this season, so from a personal point of view - although traffic after the match is a bind, patience will eventually see you away within 15 minutes usually. My personal opinion is that a stand is needed on the Whinney Hill side (planning permission already approved I believe and funding in place as well) plus roofs over both ends of the pitch.. We also need to concentrate on the building that is required for league entrance (ie police control box and first aid room etc). Speak to your councillors by all means, but the club will have to fund the rebuild with grants from the F.A. not the council tax of the people of Hyndburn
