To be fair Dave, that statement is a tad all encompassing matey, some of a certain generation might moan for the sake of it, but not all pop siders do.

And, erm, which 'certain generation' would that be, Phil?

At a guess, the generation which understands this.

Life, is the name of the game, and i want to play that game with you.

[Steeley]

We actually going to be having some work done on the ground then?

I see you spotted my deliberate mistake, should have put "certain mindset", a little less stereotypical I suppose.

Let's be honest, if there's one thing that Pop Siders like more than standing up it's moaning so this will keep 'em going for a few months.

You're right, of course. There's no way we will be able to please absolutely everyone. We could have the best ground in the land and some would still find fault. I stand on the Pop Side when we attack that end - would I sit there? Maybe. I might go and stand on the Holker End (there'll be no more moving round at half time - shock horror!). I don't know....but if we get something nice and shiny, which will give the club the capacity to go out and market itself and offer some innovative ticketing ideas then I'll grin and bear it.

I heard that Premier Inn were ‘aggressive’ during initial negotiations with AFC a while back and tried to call the shots from day one. They were quickly and quite rightly shown the door.

Can't open http://www.barrowbc.gov.uk/Default.aspx ... ssid=10257
Anybody know what is there when opened?

A blurb from the Council announcing that Premier Inn are going to build on Dock Museum car park.

[oldtimer]

Does this mean it's back to the ground sharing debate?

[Richard Ingham]

No.

Yes I heard it on the radio last night

Id be well pleased to see that stinking bilge pumping bluebird club disapear what ever happens.fed up of the fumes being pumped out along pop side.How can you ban smoking on terraces yet allow that choker to spew out.

Smoking isnt banned on the terraces, if youre not under cover. Mind you it doesnt matter which direction the winds blowing. If ever they banned smoking altogether, my days at HS would be over.

Premier Inn would have been too close to the Travelodge with us anyway

Surprising how many Trasvelodges and Premier Inns are within a couple of hundred yards of each other. Working away in Widnes and a new Premier Inn has been built across the road from the Travelodge with no complaints, also the same at Gatwick & Manchester airports.

I think we can all talk about premier inn or whatever till we are blue in the face but my i own personal opinion now is that we are just being strung along with the whole feasibility study issue while we just tick over as an existence with crowds below what they should be due to the present economic climate(and that's what our board will use as the excuse) and wait for Stoker to call the shots at craven park,if you see what I mean.
