Ska Junkie Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I do like the fact that they may have to wait until Wimbledon finishes to get their new tent! As for the 'drive past Trashton everyday', jealously is not a good trait. It does appear that some of them are realising their tinpotedness though.

EXACTLY NONE OF THESE were midweek/night games - but lets never let FACT get in the way of more gas bullshit about attendances. If they actually had more of their own fans turn up instead of relying on good away support - worrying about 9500 capacity might be worth doing. How many times in the last 30 years have they had an attendance that exceeds the capacity of just the Lansdown stand..?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red7 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 One of the sad Sags on SagChat commented: "Problem is if the club release artists impressions of what is most likely going to look like the West tent the club would be a laughing stock." Who's gonna tell him that this particular horse (apt analogy intended) has already bolted? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None, but they did take 13.5 million to Wembley (or ‘Wembly’ as they like to express it) so clearly they need a ground as big as Lagos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I see The Evil is reporting (sic) that the pitch issues last year were due to them using '...the wrong type of sand...' when laying the pitch.

Rich Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I understand the addition of their new stand is to increase not only, the capacity but, also the in tents atmosphere. Sometimes it's so in tents, it's unbearable for many fans, who have been canvassed for their opinions. One supporter, a Mr Guy Rope, said he and his wife Peg are holding firm in their support of the clubs new plans and want to see the ex tent of the development. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Have you seen the write up in the Evil Post? Must have been tongue in cheek...... There is a part where they talk about some group and in brackets write (SAG) It apparently took a team of Project Managers 14 months to decide which tent to buy and 2 days to erect.
