"modular units" are units that are "plugged together" to make one whole unit ... looks like we're buying our "covered modular seating structure" from IKEA :D

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

I think modular seating is the type used in temporary stands ie golf stands etc. The seats are fixed on to a tiered frame in samll groups so they can join several sections together, instead of being fixed on to concrete steps like a lot of grounds. If thats the case it may actually be a good idea because it's effectively temporary seating so if the money comes along for a more permanent structure it can easily and cheaply be removed.

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

So, if the new stand is the designated away fans' area, will the Cowshed Crew be moving to the Coppice End?

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

So that guy who stands on the corner end who is always arguing with his kids will be joining us all then lol. Great result today!!

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

They came to blows today. Quite disgraceful really.

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

yes he will, he made the ginger kid cry lol highlight of the first half today

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

I'm going to stand there again, very entertaining.

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

i don't think ive actually ever seen them watch much of the football

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

I see that the away fans seating at Gillingham is described as being golf tourmament style - be interesting to get a preview on Saturday.

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

after watching the goals on tv, and seeing the Bristol Rovers goals, the modular stand behind the goals looks ok

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

who cares what it looks like.

lets make the league happy so we can continue our progress up to the top of league 2 and into league 1.

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

the way i read it was "cheap n nasty":D but like davo says who cares, the only matter is that its built.:)

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

As long as it's cheap and it meets FL requirements, get it built! It's only for away fans anyway.

On the other hand, we could scour the country for a cheap secondhand stand. I'm sure it wouldn't cost much to transport it back to the FES... ;)

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

Looks OK to me. I pity the poor sods when it's raining, though. There's nowt worse than sitting on a wet seat and getting soaked (as anybody who has been to Stockport will testify)!

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

:) Your right Wynonie Harris!! but Eric has said ours will be covered modular seating structure.:)

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

that will do us, and charge £17 per person (away fans)

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

Can't for the life of me understand why a prudent chap like Eric is wasting money on a roof for 'em. We could be using that money for something useful!

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

:) From yesterdays matchprog Quote-Football League's rule that requires us to have 2,000 seats under cover by 1st may 2009 :)

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

Actually league rules state you can only charge the same price as the equivalent home stand. However some clubs with no morals have found a way round that with membership schemes which give discount to home fans so away fans pay full whack.

Blackpools away stand is a golf stand with no roof and they are charging £26 this season. Bear in mind you lot could be playing them next season and paying £26 for the priveledge :rolleyes:

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

are they getting relegated?

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

If he stands near me I'm goin home! SERIOUSLY:mad:

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

when is the stand coming down. its sept-ber soon. its to be up bye 1 may 09. 9months to go and counting

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

If they'd just get rid of the loudspeakers it'd be a start. ;)

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

Maybe they are waiting to book the Red devils parachute team for a home match :D

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

I thought that work was already underway. I heard they have been digging foundations behind the Whinney Hill cow shed ready for the new stand to be installed. As soon as the Bradford game on October 11th is out of the way the cow shed will come down and work will really get going. Don't worry :D be happy :)

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

hope so time is ticking :gooddog:

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 

The noise wasn't the loudspeakers it was Harwood Red;):)
