league standards

IF?, we were to carry on this form and be in with a chance of promotion would the ground be upto standard? If not , what will need to be done to ensure we get to where we deserve to be.

I think if we were to gain promotion i think the club would bring the ground up to standard as well as facilities...I heard that the whinney hill would be changed into a stand like the main stand, not sure though

Yes, we already have planning permission for that and will be entitled to funding for the work when we are promoted to the league. The ground is currently good enough to be passed for promotion, there are simply requirements that upgrades (e.g. to the Whinney Hill stand in order to increase the number of seats) are done within a couple of seasons of league entry.

thanks WR..

Would be quite a good ground with the two seated stands by league standards, if we go up are both terraces going to be covered?

I think the Football League would give Stanley a year (or two?) to get the IES up to League standards.

Suggest you all read fishy site if possible. otherwise look at page 395 on bbc text service. Basically, we require seating for away supporters, first aid room for all supporters, Police control room and some extra seating, but I believe this work has to be done within 2 years of league football being a reality.

Rob has posted a statement on official site re this. Quite a bit to do but is confident plans in place to fulfill need quickly. Could include a roof at Clayton end maybe!!!!

nice to see some printed words in the Evening Telegraph this evening. We need more of this please Mr Chief Executive

I agree about havin two seated sides and two standing areas with a ROOF but it would take a very long time... obviously
