I think the club is in a funny situation. Admit that there's a major problem with funding the stand and why should anyone turn up to watch next season? However, keep it all quiet until the 11th hour and you risk nobody coming forward with offers to help.
As we've said before, to comply with FL/FA rules, we don't need to build a new £1m stand. It's just a nice idea. All we have to do is provide another 1000(ish) seats and maintain the current capacity.

Good post, and of course your 100% correct. In that case why don't Eric and Rob come out and tell us how they are going to do that.
The cheapest way to not end up back in the Conference would be to:
a) knock down the Whinney Hill stand;
b) replace it with a bigger open terrace - joined up to the Coppice End;
c) put 800+ seats in the Clayton End;
The ground would then hold (about) 6,000 - with 2,000 seats. Everyones a winner and the club don't get relegated (unless they finnish in the bottom two anyway!).
