If the funds are available would be a great plus if twas suitable.

Hopefully, any new stand will incorporate proper toilet & catering facilities for away fans, as well as shelter from foul weather.
Our infamous Portaloos, canned beer & pie-free catering for away fans must be consigned to history once & for all.
The last thing we want is the same criticism that dogged us during our time in League 2, when travelling fans decided that 1 visit to the Wham was more than enough!

The majority of teams expected to be in League 1 next year have played us recently.

I think as the majority of fans are in the clayton end, which can't cope on busy days, it is still badly in need of improvement. The last improvements were helpful, but are now looking unambitious.

BTW my season ticket is wrecked by the weather, anyone know what number should be left for Sat?

Think they use those little blue rivets

Think I could do with some of those!!

As a club we need to rethink some of our service to customers home or away because that is what we all are. We need away fans to spread a good word about the wham. Catering facilities need to be upgraded and even have people at various points around the ground at half time selling food and drinks. we have to realise that we really do need bigger attendances at home matches to survive in League 1. 2-3000 would be enough to keep us afloat.

Sorry, mate, I have had to miss a few this season, so it could be any one of

01 06 07 21 or 23

Hope this helps! Or contact Mr.T!

[duckworth]

[Mr T]

Yes it no 21 on Saturday

[Chewbacca]

Thanks, thought it may be, mine is lost

[choirboy]

Anyone know if our pitch has been 'ripped up' yet?
It has been promptly dug up straight after the last home match in the previous three seasons!
Any more news on other developments regarding the Whinney Hill Stand, away end facilities etc?

[Exile on Spencer St]

Choirboy, get yourself a sledge-hammer and get down to the ground; you're obviously 'itching' to see the scrattin' sheds go.

[cashman]

No idea but heard the equipment for removing the cowshed is being put in place.

[ferret man]
