Maybe they haven't paid for them, just like the fence?

Reading their forum, I'm surprised that so many of them are totally missing the point of a redevelopment. It's not about making things more comfy for the supporters although that goes hand in hand with redevelopment, it's about corporate non match day revenues and increasing the turnover of their horrible club. Hiring their crappy little social club out for wedding parties on alternate Saturdays is no longer enough. As long as they don't have these sort of available revenues, they will never be able to compete, financially, at their current level let alone ours without incurring debt. Actually, I'm not surprised they are missing the point, it's to be expected I guess.

Couldn't they just knock down the crappy terrace on the left and shift it that way? It's not like the stands are full length or anything. That would give them room I should think.

I reckon they will end up with something crap like this although how they pay for it is anyones' guess! Standing at either end and they've got their cosy little 12K stadium.

Have you still got a betamax video recorder then?

With all respect gashead2017, my son takes his driving test on Monday and he knows you're shit but you haven't EVER been on his horizon as you're not good enough to keep up with us. He pertains to understand the rivalry but how can he? You're gone mate.

Bath rovers and we would be the OTIB. I like that!

Can anyone say any reason why we would say 'yes' to them using our beautiful stadium? I can't think of one reason why we would advocate it. While they're down, put the boot in is my opinion. F##K them!

Just read a thread on their forum about opening up an old railway station to ease congestion on match days. Guess what? They want the council to pay for it! All these grand ideas are fine but they plain haven't got any money by the look of it so naff all will get done.

I agree. Look how we had to jump through hoops really parking etc. They're in a far worse position than we were IMHO. Just because they can build to 17/18k doesn't mean they would be allowed to. As to using the Gate, I would hope the 2nd word in reply to any request is 'off'!

What thread is that from? I try not to spend too much time on their forum as I feel dirty afterwards.

I did notice that he said 'nice modern stadium' rather than the previous 'world class'. I don't think they will get it but it sounds more like a Shrewsbury flat pack job than something like the mighty Gate. That interview would have me very concerned if I were a sag, luckily I'm not so can enjoy the debacle!

To be fair to Mike Jay, he's a decent bloke, shit taste in football clubs mind. He ran Deerswood juniors for years when my lad and a friends lad were playing. One of lifes gentlemen TBH although a diehard gashead. He has written books about their history, warts and all.

A couple of beauties for your amusement, supplied by Cheesleysmate...

Here you go Archie..

Thanks for the clarification chaps. As mentioned, if a contractor had been appointed, someone would have said / heard something. With the deadline approaching, either someone is under a confidentiality clause or this ain't starting before August which has to bring the January deadline into serious doubt. Happy days!

What point to they have to get to by the deadline? I'm not in the construction / planning game so was wondering. Will ground clearance suffice or do they actually have to be above ground or something? Another question, I don't get the August 'deadline' when their PP runs out in January? Can anyone explain in layman's terms?

I've no idea RA75.

Edited for accuracy.

They also had more arrests than we did last season with half of our crowds.

The figures are utter bollocks anyway as EFL clubs have to make a certain % available for POTD so it's probably less than 5K, maybe nearer 4.

They need to know their place, even at U6! A lifetime of abuse awaits the poor little lambs unless they change allegiance. I am joking by the way. Pesky 'teds!

Maria had just gotten married, and being a traditional Italian she was still a virgin. On her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was very nervous. Her mother reassured her; 'Don't worry, Maria, Tony's a good man. Go upstairs and he'll take care of you. Meanwhile, I'll be making pasta.' So, up she went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and exposed his hairy chest. Maria ran downstairs to her mother and says, 'Mama, Mama, Tony's got a big hairy chest.' 'Don't worry, Maria,' says the mother, 'all good men have hairy chests.. Go upstairs. He'll take good care of you.' So, up she went again.. When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy legs. Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother. 'Mama, Mama, Tony took off his pants and he's got hairy legs!' 'Don't worry! All good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man Go upstairs and he'll take good care of you.' So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks and on his left foot he was missing three toes. When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. 'Mama, Mama, Tony only has a foot and a half!' Her Mama said, 'Stay here and stir the pasta.'!

Fair comment Miah and you've definitely improved beyond all recognition, much to our disdain! The problem for you now, is how to get to the next level which means serious investment? I'm not sure you're going to get it WTGR.
