I'd like to see us provide toilets and catering from the NE corner. This could serve E1 and/or N5. Giving greater flexibility and a better away fan experience.

I agree. Whilst knowing three fifths of nowt about architecture, it seems an ideal solution. We could even give away fans both E1 and N5 if the numbers fit. It adds greatly to permutations.
Does anybody know if that bluddy gret tank behind the scoreboard is actually used?

What happens when a club offers to pay up front for the North Stand? 1,800 v 1,000 in E1 and E2.
That's 800 ticket sales, which we might not sell.
There's likely to be a game, or two, like that.

They can’t, we have to back ourselves to sell the tickets to our own fans and if it’s a big club we’d likely do that

Just imagine 10 rows of safe standing at the top

10 Rows of Safe standing would only add room for 1,300 people. I would imaging that it would not be financially viable

Good idea. Also might ease the pressure on East and North stands for home fans

Looking at the potential teams in League Two next season, how many would be likely to want more than the 1,100 seats available in E1, E2 & E3 sections.

At most I would say 5 teams could possibly entertain filling the North Stand,

Grimsby
Notts County
Bradford
Doncaster
And any one of the top 3 that don't go up (Mansfailed pls)

It would appear they will get what they are given, and if there season ticket holders get first dibs maybe keep out the lunatic fringe? or at least police it?

The old what you want and what you get routine?

I was looking back at the highlights from last Saturday and I commented to a few people what a masterstroke it has been to have home fans in both the North and South Stands. It's made a difference and it allows us to develop our fanbase further without too many restrictions.

Are you still miffed by my selfish behaviour for wanting us to drop points at Halifax ? Dropping those points and getting promotion wrapped up on home soil in front of 9,900 home supporters is the best thing to happen to our football club and our Town for a long, long time. There was no better advert for the club and promotion at Halifax would have been a damp squib in comparison. It's given the Town a much needed lift.

I love having fans in the North Stand. Long may it continue.
No, I'm not miffed anymore. 🤣🤣 It was tremendous on Saturday. I think the players appreciated it too. Well done you for thinking the bigger picture. Seriously.

Just a snippet about ground improvements, been told today temporary practice nets are to be erected to protect the crowd from stray balls in time for next season.

What a difference a fortnight makes


Keep playing like this and we could remove a few rows

I noticed we've had an upgrade of the towel and soap dispensers in the bogs ......much better than the old ones.

Now we're in the L2, and have new local owners, kindly refer to them as toilets.

Maybe have a guy stood in the corner with an array of aftershave offering 'no splashy, no gashy'

Especially from Ollie Banks, I've managed to catch 2 from him this season away from home, lost my pie from one of them.
