Think some people need to remember that while the decision is that of W&F council, they work within planning law and procedures which must be followed so not down to the whim of officers or the councillors.

The case officer has been consulted by the club over an extended period before the application was made. Conversations will likewise have been held at that time with some/all of the statutory consultees, many of whom also have a statutory duty to protect the public.

Well you’ll still be stuck with the same Highways team.

I think what '32mile_cul-de-sac is getting at' is..............they have no affinity with/to this area which would I think apply mainly to the Highways team, as you say Moribund.

Not being funny what does it matter where people come from? whether we agree or not people are doing their job and going by that mentality why should we sign anyone outside of Barrow!

It may help them to have a better understanding of aspects of their job.

If Walney Island had been eighty miles north, would the Carlisle-based highways mob and former upper-tier council in general have done something about protecting/developing a route towards a second crossing before now? If the Windermere Ferry was an important Eden crossing, would its awful unreliability frequently leading to a 30-minute diversion have been addressed before now?

But, you can select & pay for seats in the new West stand on club website for the Sutton game.

Sutton fans can only get tickets for the Holker St away end, new seats not available.

To be fair they will only bring a couple of hundred and I think we can get 300 there without the seats.

It's the Wrexham and Morecambe games it needs sorting for as both will have large away followings

Also those games - esp Wrexham - will attract a very large home following, so don't think there's much chance of us 'giving away' any part of the Holker Street end to accommodate visitors.

Will these new stands be open permanently or just when the big boys come to town?

Sutton will not bring more than a handful of supporters. They’ve already cancelled the supporters coach owing to lack of interest.

Once the red tape is burned they will be open permanently & the club seem confident they will get the green light soon.
