I had an email from Rob yesterday in response to various emails and PM'd questions that I had received. Amongst them was the concern that Eric had described 'a small stand'.
The roof will run full length of the Clayton End and will be of a similar design to the main stand one (Cantilever).
It will not cover the concourse at the back,
it will not contain built in toilets and bar.
There will be a bar adjacent to all three ends (?) which will be a van similar to the burger gaffes and will sell alcohol in plastic glasses as per league rules.
The plans will be updated accordingly when the time and money is right. The toilet blocks will become brick built as it will save us money on rentals etc.
But we have begun and are once again moving in the right direction off the field. I would imagine we will make at least four thousand pound a game from the beer sales which will be equivalent to around a hundred grand a year EXTRA on the turnover. The roof and re-availability of drink should see at least a couple of hundred extra on the gate every week which is another fifty or sixty grand EXTRA minimum.
The money is starting to come in, the sponsorship packages have gone up around 50% as well and is pretty much booked up for most of the season already. The club is starting to take shape and we can all start looking forward to more good times. We are starting to run out of things to whinge about now (providing the car park gets done
) so we can all concentrate on the football.
Viva Le Stanley!!!!!!
Workmen are on the job and the roof looks like being a reality.. and I know it's going to come out plenty far enough.. not a small bus shelter like lip .. A proper roof 
, a roof
