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.

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.

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.

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?

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. Talked a good game and left us with a huge amount of debt that the current owners had to settle.
