SUFC: The Future The regeneration of Roots Hall

[tommy tucker]

First of all Mr Martin has got to sign over all gone very quiet on takeover

Ita always been said no news is good news So it is a case of wait and see

 

[tommy tucker]

On the other point of news is Npower was makeing threats to 1 cut of the electric And 2 take the club to court .Both has been suspended untill the take over is complet .A company like Npower would not do this if assurances are in place that the bill will be paid by the new owners .

So now COSU have said that we have a long lease and that should give the confidence to do work to our permanent home (how good is that to say!) can we revive this thread, which has been one of my favorites since joining the zone!

North bank safe standing….Pleeeeaaasse.

North bank safe standing….Pleeeeaaasse.

Not for me , it makes no sense logistical wise, for me a new east stand built 4-5 meters to the east, then a reworked west stand and south stand for blue voice, then knock down north stand for away supporters with no roof so no acoustics ..

And what would you do with the away fans?

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

What would I do with them? I don’t work there! It’s not my decision to make but I’m sure there are other areas they can be housed.
There’s usually only about 20 of them anyway!

Okay……that all sounds like it’s about 5-10 years away! I’m thinking about getting the attendance up and the atmosphere rocking.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Has anyone thought of rotating the pitch?

 

[Tommy2holes]

I'd like to see the north developed into something like barnets away end.

Proper away end with beers underneath.

The facilities for the away supporters has been dire for years. A big reason why we don't get decent away support visit us.

Turn the x and North west corner into safe standing and that would make for a great atmosphere.

 

[Springfield Shrimp]

As the south Lower isn’t currently used too much, why not make that safe standing as well? People might be able to see better than from the current seating and generate some more atmosphere for that end of the pitch.

 

[sufc4life21]

Don't know about anyone else but would love to see that north bank standing with just home fans there. Put the away fans in the corner bit and block x which is connected already. Having our vocal fans behind the goal would be more beneficial for atmosphere and the players themselves.

 

[BriggBlue]

Just a thought, why don't we look at rotating the pitch 87.5 degrees?

I doubt that's the case. Real football fans go to away grounds to support there team, not because the away end is fantastic or not.

True to a point, but it can’t be ignored that the worse the facilities/experience, the less likely people are to return.

Numerous posters on here have said they won’t return to places like Wealdstone & Dorking due to it being poor for away fans.

there loss I guess when maher has Southend challenging for promotion. 1 fan loss is another fan gain.

Understand your point on the time line, yes would take a while that's true, Smithys view is to move the away fans into the North West corner made secure and safe etc and accessible from fairway drive , this would allow home fans back into North bank.

That what I said, it’s need to be done.

And the fact Dorking were relegated last season

Dont be an idiot.

87.4 is the key.
