This would keep us at 2000 covered seats. The additional uncovered seats in the Blackpool stand would then increase the overall capacity of the ground to league standards.
With regards to the Clayton end ( and these are my thoughts/views only) As we have had to re-profile the concrete to accomodate the seats (ie make them wider) it would be now impractical to remove them ( H & S issues) and it wouldn't increase capacity. So, at present the Clayton End will stay as it currently is.
Make sense?? If not yell.
We know folk want to stand, BUT the FL rules state minimum of 2000 covered seats, and there are no grants at all for terracing.

OK, that makes sense, Mr T. Can't say I'm happy with the way the Clayton End is being left, but I can see the logic in it. However, what about the planned redevelopment of the Coppice End of the ground (roof, new dressing rooms etc) that was supposed to be going ahead this summer? Is that on hold now?
