Re: great news on the way
just had chance to post on this so..... about bloody time too!
the worrying thing is the 'small stand' bit. If it is a case of just a roof covering the entire Clayton End then why didn't this happen sooner? We were told of numerous hold ups due to change in designs etc to suit etc etc.
I am extremely happy that a roof is going on because I believe it will have a ridiculously positive effect on the noise levels and therefore hostility that both Eric and John have asked for on many occasions. You will really hear the Ultras this year because we have what we have when we go away but with five times the numbers of singers. The side standers/sitters should no longer have to put up with listening to away fans trying to outsing the home support because I think that we are as good at home as we are away minus drink fuelled extras.
But there will be criticism from some quarters depending on the finished article. Not least from myself and the OSC as toilets were allocated £1000 from OSC funds 3 or 4 years ago. Either way, all the money goes to the club in the end but the SUPPORTERS like to have a say on what it goes to. We were told the hold up was that the LCC had said we need to say what future plans we have nd that we need to incorporate these into todays plans.
I have said the last couple of paragraphs as Chairman of the Supporters Club and I feel that theses are issues that should be addressed. However, as Rob the Ultra, or Rob the Stanley fan I am just glad that progress is being made.
