I am led to believe by financial peers that for something to be a success in business it needs to viable, necessary and profitable.

The improvements to the corporate side were viable, necessary and have become profitable.

Mr Morton states that the roof is URGENT BUT NOT ESSENTIAL. I beg to differ. I think that it is viable and we assume the money is there, it is necessary to appease existing fans and welcome and keep new fans, therefore making it profitable. As I mentioned in an earlier post it would pay for itself anyway within a rapid timescale so even if it has to be ripped down at some future point it won't have been a waste of time.

Jeff posted "Are we all getting soft or is there a core of new supporters who are not used to braving the elements." Yes Jeff, there is. And we are hoping for more. And we would like to keep them please.

The club is top of the league, winning regularly and playing attractive football. We are playing League football next year. Does this deny us the opportunity to express our distaste for the lack of certain things? Are you only allowed to have opinion when things are going bad on the field, because when we are winning we are told by certain members of this forum that we are top of the league, what more do you want?

I'm one of the few fans that has braved the elements at crap holes such as Bootle, Frickley, Nelson, Winsford etc and I'll still be watching Stanley if we ever go back to them days. Unfortunatley the club cannot bank on too many fans remaining loyal if they continually ignore our wishes. I dont care which level of football we are playing next year, but I'd like to be behind the goal and under a roof. I would also, like Willie Miller, like a statement from the club that is not full of spin and carefully worded phrases, as to what the estimated schedule of works is in relation to this roof.

Few things stir up the ire at the IES, the roof is one of them, they shouldn't push it.
