Good shout but, I don't agree with you on Paul Casson. I have nothing but respect for the man for what he delivered in his short time here.Bombadel wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 10:49 pm We’ve come on light years in a few short years, credit to the board, when Casson was here he promised a lot in terms of the ground but delivered little. Don’t get why some people are moaning, we’ve only sold the main stand out a few times this year, it’s not like there’s a need to increase capacity due to demand, it’s a requirement and the new stands are meeting that requirement. Away supporters might moan about the view but who cares, away at Carlisle your practically off the end of the pitch.

Re: Away end
All looks a great improvement for me thank you to the board for getting this done.
One question I do wonder is if these stands are temporary, do we own them or rent them? If we rent them who from and what are the costs per month/year/season?

Does anyone have any knowledge as to who the new owner of the garage is?
The popular side has to be next demolish that and build a full length stand moved much closer to the pitch makes sense. . There can’t be many sides with a full pitch length terrace anymore.

Re: Away end
Great idea but one problem. Our owners don’t have a bottomless pit of cash. Doing what you suggest would cost millions that we simply don’t have
This summers work is costing nearly £900k the owners payinh half of it.

It brings us into compliance for the EFL regs and I’m sure it will look better than we all think it will. But those floodlights are bound to impact on quite a few for views on the field of play.
But as always the proof will be in the final pudding. Will it be just desserts ending up an Eton mess or will it be the icing on the cake.

Well I agree with him.
