Re: Stadium and other issues : Sat Apr 29, 2023 11:13 am  
What’s happening with the proposed cladding at the back of the North stand?

It looks terrible at the moment what with the partial terracing and the old terracing and overgrown shrubbery at the back

It’s happening but is it really the most important issue at the club at this moment?

Everything costs time and money and frankly I’d rather the club be using both to win a game. Wouldn’t you?

I thought the build budget and the playing budget were completely different?

Regarding priorities, we are 10 games into the season and the North stand has been open for weeks, it’s an eyesore, possibly dangerous and creates a poor impression in a number of ways so yes I think it should have been done by now

Here you go again, mountains out of molehills.

Do you seriously think there is anything left in that build budget? What planet are you on.

In what way could it possibly be dangerous, give us all a break. It wouldn’t be open if it were.

Do you somehow think that Trinity have a dedicated banner team? As far as I’m aware the club have found some sponsors who will pay for the banners. However somebody will have to now break off from their actual job and sort it. One of probably a huge number of jobs on a very long list.

Stadium redevelopment takes time to come together so why not give the club a break. Or better still why not pick up the phone and offer to sort it for them, that is what supporters are for. Fans are a different sub group.

You really are a drama Queen aren’t you!
I asked a question, where’s the ‘mountain” in that?

We were told that the North stand refurb was being scaled back due to a budget cut and the rising costs of the East stand but John Minnards also said that there would be a back placed on the North stand to give it a finished look and provide a better environment for the fans in there. I don’t think after 10 games of the season, it’s out of order to ask what’s happened to that plan!
Regardless it shouldn’t require any extra budget as there was enough to initially refurb the whole stand and not just part of it. Any reconfiguration required had apparently taken the cladding at the back into account.

Have you even been in it?
It could be dangerous because it’s open at the back leading straight to a drop onto the old terracing and possibly down the banking. There’s enough stuff to trip on and nothing to stop you going straight through the back of the stand.

If it is part of the refurb then yes someone should have been given the job to do and it ought to have been completed by now, or do you think it needs some highly qualified technical expert to fasten some cable ties around a banner or take a rivet gun and fix some steel cladding. There’ll be plenty of times when workers couldn’t do a specific job because of weather conditions so they could certainly have been tasked with this job.

You don’t have to jump to the clubs defence every time someone asks a question, you’ve obviously got some kind of projected persecution complex and see everything as an attack

It's a fair question.

It's either still in the plans but not done yet or it's no longer in the plans, or the plans have changed and they are doing something different.

North stand has had its soul removed. It’s a horrible place to be.

Going to give the east Stand a go next year.

How can making the floor stable stop the atmosphere in the North Stand?
I'm sure the performance on the field has done that if it's happened.
