I take your point FC. But I aint interested in extra steps or any other ground improvements until such time as we get a roof.

estimated cost of £100 000
divided by 24 home league matches next season
divided by £12 (this years adult admission)
equals 347 people

maybe we wont get an extra 347 new people coming on just because we have a roof, but what it will do is keep 347 people coming if the weather is crap one saturday. That, on top of any new people who turn up, on top of the increased atmosphere that players, management and Eric have all asked for repeatedly, surely makes the roof pay for itself within a year. Even if the bloody thing has to be pulled down in two or three years to make way for a bigger stand, it is surely an investment. And it would appease an increasingly frustrated customer base. If customers stopped coming to my shop as frequently as they could because they didn't like the decor, I would change it.

We are not asking for the Nou Camp, we are not asking for something that can't be done. We are asking for something that is a basic right for human beings, a roof over our heads.

Since the Coley years we have seen crowds grow. Now you can't put an umbrella up behind the Clayton End when there is more than 1800 on. We have been told we are getting one. Repeatedly. We want to know when we are getting it. We are not threatening revolution, but Willie Miller has already stated that the flags will be absent next year. How long until the crowd is also absent?
