Roof and future plans for the stadium!!

baldy · 13-03-2006, 16:55

I think i remember at the last Q&A, Rob said there would be a full report on the official site regarding the roof and future plans of the stadium and as a few people are talking about moving to a new stadium just wondered what the plans were for extending the and improving then stadium
i doubt we will be moving to a new stadium soon unless we progress through the leagues rapidly.

just wondered what the situation regarding theses two points??

we wont move grounds until we have to

I am trying to keep optomistic on the new roof situation, but if it is not sorted out by the begining of next season i will not be a happy camper!

We have been promised this roof for 3 years or so.

The current weather conditions are one reason the attendances are as low as they are. People will not stand for another season of the clayton end terrace without a roof, especially when the price goes up on the turnstyles next season.

I'm not having a rant for the sake of it, i'm just concerned about how many new supporters are gonna be put off and not return until the the F.A. cup wagon rolls back into town!

Does anyone know how long the work will take to finish/completion dates?

Hear hear, if there isn't a roof next season, I am ditching the flags & the terrace will be a duller place IMO

The club would be dissapointed if work hasnt started over the summer

sorry just pre empting an official statement

spud · 13-03-2006, 21:55

I think now is the time for the club to come clean and make it public what are the start and estimated finish dates with the construction work.

It will put a lot of peolpes minds at rest, and give us all summat to look forward to(perhaps a opening party!).

shakermaker · 13-03-2006, 21:57

hear hear to the party!!

KIPAX · 13-03-2006, 22:02

To be fair spud.. there was a supporters club meeting tonight and usually a director or two are present for questions and answers. you could ahve popped along and asked them.....

spud · 13-03-2006, 22:13

If i could have kip, i would have.

It shouldn't be down to the fans to keep asking, the club should make a statement with concrete gauruntees not the 'we will be dissappointed if it dosen't' attitude we have come accustomed to.

KIPAX · 13-03-2006, 22:15

True.. but personally I have given up... will believe it when I see it mate...

maccawozzagod · 13-03-2006, 22:17

again it comes down to communication. The club in the past has been none to forwards with information. This season has been a little better but maybe thats because we've tired of excuses. Our league position this last few weeks has seen us forget the tirades, but now that the league position is all but assured .......

WHERES OUR ROOF?
LOL

baldy · 13-03-2006, 22:47

Not having a dig at the club just wondered as im sure we will have a few new fans next season so why not tell them and the fans that are here now whats happening.

who will want to come just to get wet if theres no roof on etc because we need to attract supporters but also keep them coming espicially with us NEARLY getting promotion

rob · 14-03-2006, 07:41

will try and get the plans for next season online together with a description of what will be going on, before the end of this week...

Tommy McQueen · 14-03-2006, 09:56

Thanks Rob, that will make fans a little bit easier, in their minds. I think people were begining to have doubts, especially with the pronounced silence from the Club. We have been waiting since January for the plans, when you said that you would publish them within the next few days. I hope this time you stick to your word.

smudgie · 14-03-2006, 10:07

personally i cant see the roof happening for a while, as it is not in the guidelines to make the stadium acceptable for league football, im sure due to the attendances the club will do the minimum required ie more turnstiles, first aid room etc until we are getting 2000+ every game.
