Cowshed build!

Great news - hopefully the Clayton End can be returned to its former glory (minus the seats) - quite sure the atmosphere has suffered since they went in.

Plans look really good - Andy Holt certainly looks like a man with a plan.
 
No more watching the games for free for people on the jam butty estate behind the cowsheds then? :) Looks good, just hope we can fill it & it doesn't turn into a white elephant

Doubt very much if that will be the case. club seems on a much sounder footing than back in 62 to me.
 
It does look good all round, future proofed for corporate clients. I hope this includes the possibility of increasing the capacity from 5000 as it is now. I know we don't have over crowding, but if a big game came along say big cup run it would be good to be able to accommodate more fans. But other wise it looks very promising.

The new build won't increase capacity, just better facilities, presuming catering facilities etc!

Better experience for away fans which could be the difference to them coming back the season after or not!

I did read that there was no increase in capacity, I thought they would have built a little more into the ground.
It is all down to Andy Holt, the man has a plan and he can deliver. Well done Andy Holt. My comments about capacity are just an observation. It looks good for the future.
 
Yeah, I read that it won't increase the capacity - was just surprised cos I wouldn't have thought the cowsheds hold that amount of people but maybe they're deceiving? Either that we're planning on reducing the capacity in one of the other areas of the ground to include better facilities? Guess it'll all come out in the wash :)
 
At the moment the away end hold 1500 standing and 300 seats + 300 if required that's the other half of the whinney hill stand. so new stand will hold 1500 all seated so that means 900 standing spaces are been lost with the new stand being open at each end:( would it not be better to either terrace both sides and increase the capacity, remember average away following for L1 is round the 1500 mark.
 
But we arnt in league one?

According to Dave Burgess, they have no date when work will start but hoping for middle of May!
 
Why, MAB? Or do you think the average home crowd would be in excess of 3,500 if the miracle of promotion occurred? Right now the ground needs better facilities not more standing room and money will always be tight such that something has to give.
