Wasn't the plan to hopefully have this open for the last 2 or 3 home games?
Any news on this will it be open tomoz, or has it been delayed/ put back?

It’ll be next season now. The hold up isn’t with the Club. Permission has been granted by the council but the delay is how the zone would deal/be protected for a terrorism incident. No…seriously!

Thanks for the update, and in this barmy world we live in, that reason doesn't surprise me,..

The guy who had the chippy up the road was jailed for having bomb-making equipment and explosives in his flat over the shop, so it's probably not quite 100% unreasonable!

I had a chat with Santi a few weeks back and brought it up. He pretty much confirmed this. Something along the lines of terrorism / drone safety. Seemed like whilst he wasn’t giving up, he was getting pretty miffed of all the hurdles that keep cropping up every time he gets 1 signed off.

There is a new law being passed by Government called Martyn’s law which requires all employers to plan for the protection of people in their workplace against terrorist attacks

Isn't it just a case of asking a club that has one what they did?

Is this going where the fences are up in the carpark just outside the main reception area yo the right as you drive in... or is that for something else

I've been told the work is for the installation of electric charging points.

Mr Star has always insisted that gunpowder and other items found in his flat above the fish and chip shop were all connected to his long-standing interest in fireworks.😂😂

I though this was some ill timed April’s Fool joke but I read on the main site that smoking zones are being trialed for the same reason to be compliant with Martyn’s Law (never heard of it !) named after a victim the Manchester bombing.

Wonder what else is in the law, strip searches, periscope up your bum at venues that hold over 1000?

Yesterday’s smoke bomb should be the last ever seen at the B2Net/Proact/Technique/SMH if it all works well

On the subject of smoke bombs, why do we let them burn out, whilst every other club ( it seems) have a designated steward that's equipped with what looks like welding type leather reinforced gloves and a sand bucket to place them in, the game was held up for a good while, and you could see members of their fanbase trying to find fresh air, who would have been liable should someone end up collapsing through an asthma attack or the like brought on by that??
