'taint moaning Kipax - Just explaining why I wouldn't go. The initial point was that by the end of next season we need another 900 seats and that work would need to begin reasonably soon in order to get those seats installed into whatever is to be built to house them.
Whinney Hill Stand would need a total rebuild from ground upwards with a costing of half a million upwards.
The Clayton End would need the terrace remoulding and seats installing. Cost would probably be around a quarter of a million.
...."for a ground that we may not stay at it would be folly to spend this amount of money on a permanent fixture, therefore the decision has been taken to develop the Clayton End" ... the press release writes itself.
It may not be that far away, and if it happened and if we campaigned against it then the club would give the ultimatum that they either build it (cos there is no time left for alternative plans) or we get relegated for not completing our necessary groundworks in three years. We become the bad guys
It isn't troublemaking, it isn't moaning, its not knocking the club - my post answers its own queries by stating the costs involved (minimums) but it explains why I wouldn't be present much afterwards.
I would however still actively support from whichever armchair I watch Lew's new PC streams from
