Port Said Red Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 It's picking up here in Posset, if the winds in the right direction it might test just how temporary that roof is :), at the very least it should make them realise what the pillars are for. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 3 hours ago, Open End Numb Legs said: So the test events prove the safety aspects but the new stand is, in a way, a test for the supporter base too. I imagine the new owner will take an interest in the response and then judge the need for further spending from there. Probably a free pass tonight based on the weather forecast. On a sunny day in April he will want to see more demand. Even now the Champ ready sprinklers are on full bore and the hose pipes are drenching the pitch................they want it off ,to save face ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Simpson Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, ExiledAjax said: Seems to now be a suggestion that due to inclement weather everyone attending will crowd into the new stand in order to tip it over the 75% required for the test. So, just to confirm. The entire crowd might just about fill 75% of one stand. Need a bigger stadium lads. I fear for them. But will laugh anyway.

Not even the gas could be so stupid as to do that. This was it being built... The plans Its pretty clear the pillars support a beam So that’s what happened to Lansdown’s five pillars 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I was making the point that our average gates would fill their expanded shithole twice over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football attendances are affected by segregation so even against Man Utd and Man City we didn’t have 27k…but all tickets were sold out…you can’t sell more than the number allowed. So yes, we can ‘fill’ Ashton Gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine signing a reject from your rivals because he lives in the same city. Bad enough. Then lose him to a club 22nd in the league below on the other side of the country.
