The headline wouldn't look out of place in a top shelf magazine.;)

Re: great news on the way
 

Is the record stuck? Or is that an attempt to boost your own self-importance? Quite silly really.

That’s posh for not having any Bollocks Dave, :) As for Big Boys? How would you girls from the Turf no anything about it. :D

Re: great news on the way
 

well actually under the taylor report we need to have a full seater next season or otherwise we get relegated how ever this is suspended if we are building a new stadium..

Re: great news on the way
 

No, no and thrice no. We only need to have approximately 3000 seats and a capacity of a minimum of 5000 by the end of the 2008-2009 season otherwise we will be relegated unless as you correctly state we are building a new stadium. However, the 5 year lease on the Crown and the building of a roof over the Clayton end and I have also heard bars at both ends of the ground seems to suggest we are staying put for a while yet. The only other thing we need to do is increase the lux of the floodlights if we gain another promotion. Taylor report does not apply until we get to the Premiership and that may just be a while off yet!

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.

Re: great news on the way
 

99% certain that you have to be all seater within 3 years if you get to the championship. Only excuse is a new ground in the planning.

Re: great news on the way
 

Reckon the club need to put an official announcement about the roof on t'fishy site and perhaps go into a little more detail about it.

Re: great news on the way
 

Negative waves, Ozzy, negative waves - keep the faith ! :D

But I suppose there's no point in getting there until the Ultras are old enough to need to sit down - like wot I am nearly.

Re: great news on the way
 

Also, interesting news that the official shirt launch has been put back to early July, in order to stage a "full scale media event" in the words of Lew Carroll. Obviously, our new Commercial Manager is making his presence felt already!

Re: great news on the way
 

I reckon they're building a bus shelter style roof that'll cover about 1/3 of the terrace. ;)

Cast aside that 1% uncertainty. Have a read here:Football Licensing Authority - The FLA Licence - All-seated Stadia
