Clayton End Roof or League Status

It could come to a choice.
Along with everybody else I was pleased that the club had decided to provide the Clayton End Roof at a cost of £100.000 plus
However unless we have an influx of two or three experienced players very quickly then we may get relegated.
I admit that I speak from the relative warmth of the seated accommodation near to the subs bench butI would sooner have league football next season without the new roof than build the new roof but be relegated.
I would like the money set aside for the roof to be given to the manager to spend on players to ensure that we stay in the league.

What are your views.

Have they? Have they given a date for this? I admit I've just come back from a six hour session on the pub but have I missed something? :confused:

Should be up by end of February, just awaiting planning permission to make a start.

I thought they had planning permission? Dare I ask if there are any plans for the roo "There's no F'in Roof" on show? Artist impressions or the like?

Re: Clayton End Roof or League Status

isnt most of the money for the roof coming from grants.. thats what the club have been telling us for the last few years... waiting for grants.. and indeed the final hurdle now is a grant being passed to start work in january..

the club will provide some money as they stated from the sale of roberts but if mostly grants then you cant decide to spend that on players so theres no choice..

given the choice i would ensure league survival... but had that been a priority we wouldnt ahve got rid of our best players when sitting pretty at 9th in table... oh and purleease dont respond with all that cobblers about it being good for there careers cus I am more interested in whats good for stanley not whats good for roberts and craneys pockets :)

If it was a choice between a roof and League Survival - League Survival surely.

Re: Clayton End Roof or League Status

OK, I don't understand this. Ozzy says we're waiting for planning permission, Mr K says we're waiting for a grant. Mr K says the work will start this month, Ozzy says it'll be finished by the end of next month.

Where is all this info coming from? :confused:

Re: Clayton End Roof or League Status

Clearly the club would not start the work prior to being granted planning permission and building regulations approval and any necessary Landlord's written permissions from the Council in their separate capacity as Landlord. The club will want to check that the improvement will not be assessed to rent against it in the future.

Some people think its a good idea to wait say four months after getting planning permission to reduce the risk that it might be successfully challenged.

Secondly if grants are likely to be available many would expect the club to wait for them rather than use more of their own resources which might more usefully be spent on players that might encourage more people to stand on the terrace.

Re: Clayton End Roof or League Status

Any sign of anything happening at the ground? Apart from rain.

I'd have league survival and some drainage then a roo and then the bar.

Re: Clayton End Roof or League Status

Where are you lot getting all this from? Has a news story broken that I don't know about? Because when I left the house to hit the bars of downtown Manchester this lunchtime, the Clayton End Roof scenario was just the way it's been for the last three years - ie, an unfulfilled promise.

Now, you're all talking like they're going to start on it in the next few days. What's changed?

If the club don't pay their bills they will end up in court, simple as that.

Exactly, couldn't agree more.

Although I did hear the planning permission did depend on where you're taking the p***, literally.

That is, the authorities keep moving the location of the toilets.

Are you expected to climb on the roof for a pee ? :)

Re: Clayton End Roof or League Status

the roof is going up weather (I know!) or not so I will say catogorically, LEAGUE STATUS.

If the roof wasn't going up then I would say LEAGUE STATUS on condition that we put up a roof in the summer.

League status is important but can be recovered if we lose it. The roof is losing the club thousands of pounds every single week, the people who do go on are losing morale and faith and therefore not enjoying it as they should. Roof equals ability to attract more fans thus gate monies, programmes, shirts etc etc, roof equals better atmosphere (guarantee) which increases the enjoyment for the fans and a needed boost for the players.
