I have the plans right in front of me for doing just that. A year ago it would have cost half a million which we might have been able to fudge from the 12 million. A year on it would cost nearer a million and we don't have a spare penny thanks to Putin and Covid.

Mr Carter said last night if the covid had not come along there would have been enough £ to do the West stand It sounded like they are working there but of to make us proud of the club can not understand why some fans are still unhappy.

If some of the fans on here won the lottery, they'd complain if it wasn't a rollover.

Was there any discussion on new proposed two leagues of 10?

My understanding is this is happening after next season

Realistically we’ll be in the new championship 1 as it stands unless we can get shut of the two French clubs

Absolutely stupid idea but it’s RL so almost nailed on to happen

No discussion about that point, but there was talk of IMGs involvement.

IMG are NOT happy with how a couple of clubs have behaved in public recently.

Also, the coaches group have had meetings with IMG to express opinions.

MC (and other clubs), are unhappy that IMG are talking to clubs en masse, rather than individual meetings with clubs.

Said IMG have said they will involve all stakeholders inc fans - but no-one has been told how/when this will happen.

The increase in cost of the project since covid was put at £1.8m.

Let’s hope we can find some investment once this east stand is done for that. It would transform the stadium no doubt especially from the east stand looking at the west.

Hopefully new dug out shelters and seating are included lol

There are no dug outs as such, if you look on the plans they are all part of the east stand, like at modern football ground. Still wouldn't be good enough for saints!

I'm sure Saints media will find something wrong with it!

Do you mean that they are happy or they are not happy with how a couple of clubs have behaved? Was there any expansion on this?

Oops, yes NOT happy.

No real expansion, but did fleetingly mention Chairmen offering to fight fans.

MC almost let something really juicy slip, but they moved on rapidly - and I can't for the life of me remember what it was!

It was brought up at the meeting about the official Saints twitter page showing the dugout area with the chairs. I personally was appalled at their unprofessionalism and the comments of a number of fans from other clubs mocking the club.
