A cynic might suggest this is art of misdirection ... Eric won't spend any more money on the ground other than the long-promised roof, but in the meantime we get to dream of a shiny new stadium on the edge of town.

We are clearly a very long way from needing to build a new stadium to satisfy the requirements of being a Championship club and, given our revenue streams, we cannot even consider it unless it is funded almost entirely from public funds.

I, for one, would be perfectly happy with the current ground if the Club kept its promises on the Clayton End Roof, the underfoot conditions outside the ground and, to a lesser extent, the "bar" in the Clayton End. After years of having virtually unrestricted access around the ground and to the clubhouse during the game, being penned in the Clayton End takes a lot of getting used to!
