There we go. It is going up this pre-season if it has to (unless the FA feel sorry for us) and it is the £1m one rather than the temporary one that keeps on being mentioned. Worryingly though we have still to find the investment ot pay for the half that the grants won't. Hyndburn Council are you listening? get your hand in your pocket and we'll make it community based other than matchday.

Sorry Mucca, The FA have already stated we must put in a further 1,000 seats before the end of next season to stay in the Football League, regardless of where we finish next season. Personally, I hope that the computer imagery is something like but we shall see. So Eric's pleas fell on deaf ears, or if the facilities are improved then maybe we will attract more support from the locals and attendances will improve. We shall see.
