Andy Holt tweeting that if the fans want it the fans will get it. Poll running on ripping out the seats :-) :-) :-)

Re: Clayton End development?
I will always be in favour of standing on the clayton end, when i get knackered i will end up sitting on Whalley Rd side, but i may be n owd fart, but i aint there yet.:)

Re: Clayton End development?
I don't think it will be next season will it?
|
Re: Clayton End development?
I vote to take the seats out as it makes it better as is our selling point of terrace stadium to fans of other local football teams, but think a row or two should be kept just because people who like being sat behind the goal, and like the atmosphere of the Clayton end
|
Re: Clayton End development?
Strange one this,I think it should return to all standing but we've a new 1500 seat capacity stand which when given the go ahead will replacement whinney hill stand which at present holds roughly holds 800 yet we're not gaining an increase in capacity n can't understand why unless there's a plan to turn the Clayton end in to all seating like the artist impressions imply's. Just a thought.. But yep take the seats out nd with the new stand it would increase the capacity by at least 800 may be more with those new extra seats.
|
Re: Clayton End development?
totally agree with the comments on taking the seats out of the clayton end. that is if we can do it. I know at one time if you had seats then you could not remove them. I enjoy standing but prefer a side on view therefore I,ll stick with the jack barrett or moan stand as I prefer to call it.
|
Re: Clayton End development?
I'm beginning to enjoy sitting :rolleyes:, and prefer being behind the goal, so quite like it the way it is. But for atmosphere, a full standing only Clayton End has to have it - and it would be a dreadful idea to make it all seating.
|
Re: Clayton End development?
Standing in Clayton End sounds good- increase capacity and improve atmosphere.
But who will populate the new stand?We don't want to loose bodies from the Clayton End or the atmosphere will suffer. Are we going to end up with a pristine new stand and no one to fill it? |

If you can sit and watch the game without your view being blocked by an endless trail of folk walking in front going for a tea/pee or by players warming up then maybe some of those from the existing seating stands will prefer the new one. It could become the New Moan Stand
|
Re: Clayton End development?
Dave Burgess has tweeted a picture of work on the pitch starting, Also the segregated fence between the main stand and the changing rooms being ripped out!
Big changes ahead it seems! |
Re: Clayton End development?
Knocked down the wall all along the main stand splitting the main stand from the pitch.
|
Re: Clayton End development?
Lots of big machinery on the ground at Accrington, proper pitch drainage Andy holt posted. On Twitter after his opinion poll about seats in Clayton end that Andy in discussion with the football league about it since 72% out of a total of 646 voted for no seats.

Re: Clayton End development?
going to miss them turnstile block had my halftime pint in there

Re: Clayton End development?
Absolutely not a knock of Mr Holt, but I still havent got a clue what work is going on at the ground.
On one hand it makes no difference to me (and by extension 'the fans'), but we like to yabber and get excited at the most ridiculous of nothingnesses. The current works may be a culmination of nothingnesses, except for the seat evictions, but creating a general murmur of positive conversations regarding the wider plans may help to sway disillusioned Rovers fans |
Re: Clayton End development?
[B]I really hope that the Clayton End "Toilets" are not going to be 'knocked down'.:eek:
I really like the way that they have been specially designed to preserve water stocks!:D They should be given 'Protected Status' as they are simply........ 'Unique!'[/B]:tongueout |

Re: Clayton End development?
Andy on Twitter...
"New look Clayton End ready soon. All terrace, bar and food facilities, first aid. Seated ST fans affected will be contacted soon to discuss" |
Re: Clayton End development?
It just worries me a little because I understood that the seats were put into the Clayton End due to Football League regulations & unless the new stand is likely to be ready fo the start of next season could we be in breach of them? Not a criticism, just a concern
|
Re: Clayton End development?
Maybe there's leeway if work is in hand to provide the requisite number of seats when the season starts?
|
Re: Clayton End development?
Am sure this has all been done by the correct process With the league. What I worry is the fans that enjoy sitting in the Clayton end, that have already bought a season ticket for the Clayton end sitting. That now will have to move!
|
Re: Clayton End development?
Andy holt says they have written dispensation from the football league who appreciate some of our ground issues, they know the plan and are helpful. Then he goes onto say we are all on the same side and they have not been onstructive and wants a better match day experience and they want more sponsors big or small, sponsoring stands, boards etc because he says once they get the setup better more fans, sponsers come equal more money for the management to build and retain a team.
|
Re: Clayton End development?
It would seem that the disposal of the seats is down to us "a tenner has been suggested but the club are open to offers"
Aye, think I'll have some of them fer t'front o' th'ouse :-) |
Re: Clayton End development?
Might have a couple meself, they'd go lovely with my murial of the pitch in t'front room :D

Re: Clayton End development?
Can we please have a scoreboard? If I win the lottery I would buy one for us.
|
Re: Clayton End development?
I take it they have had dispensation to from the league to take the seats out as I though you had to have 2000 seats.

Do we have any news yet about the 'Hyndburn Planning Application' for the new Whinney Hill Stand?:idunno:
The pitch is starting to look good in the latest photos!:jimbo: |
Re: Clayton End development?
Yeh goes before council this week.

Re: Clayton End development?

Re: Clayton End development?
Look on Hyndburn BC website, usually under Your Council - Cabinet & Committees - Planning Cttee, or something along those lines.
http://democracy.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/d...ey%20final.pdf The officer's report recommends approval. |

So, what's the score with the new stand? Two weeks now since planning permission was given and since then, total silence. Would've thought they'd at least have made a start on pulling down the cowshed!

Cheers for the info. Back of the Clayton End is starting to look good!

Re: Clayton End development?
it is steve n the pitch looks great, went up last friday to have a sneck.:)
|
Re: Clayton End development?
Maybe they could build most of the main structure behind the current stand thus enabling it to be still in use as much as possible?
Example Gresty Road, Crewe http://pictures.footymad.net/upload/168/55538-12.jpg Carrow Road, Norwich http://www.edp24.co.uk/polopoly_fs/1...2958550052.jpg |

Re: Clayton End development?
so what is the new building going to be used for?
toilets? any chance the club can review the catering arrangements, maybe get in a caterer who sells food which is fit for human consumption and not out of date? |
Re: Clayton End development?

Our very own catering kiosks.." Than later on says "everything spent on home catering stays in the club that's why your support is crucial" |
Re: Clayton End development?
well its certainly an improvement if the profits will go to support the club
and with the new drains, we should see a reduction in postponed games |
Re: Clayton End development?
Andy Holt has stated that there will be a roof on the back of the Clayton End...No more getting soaked whilst having a beer!!

Not just the Clayton end but looks like we are getting new food lights as well!

Re: Clayton End development?
No more wall around the pitch, replaced with metal fencing which means the signs will probably crack if a ball hits them
