With all there new facilities the extra money is probably worth it but will our fans pay those sort of increases when our FF ground has finaly been built.

To be honest to keep the fans coming in they will have to keep the cheap kids tickets and maybe up the adults a little.

Bums on seats is what it we need, if they go mad with the prices no matter what league we are in the casual fan will not come.

and yes i am bored

I think it would be almost certain that ticket prices would rise around 15% - 20% if we ever managed to find ourselves in a new stadium. The argument would no doubt be along the lines that the club would be offering far better facilities.

However, we need to have a new stadium first. We haven't even got planning permission to lay the first stone yet ...

Normally lay bricks not stones!

That'd be original though!

We've also got to actually submit some plans first too!

I think a new stadium's a good few years off yet, if it ever appears

Rather have our prices than Swansea's though!

Foundation STONE?

WS

 

[Thenewblue]

Foundations are layed in concrete, not stones! You dig footings and fill them in with concrete! So try again! Keep digging pal!

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

Foundation Stone :

~ a coarse stone that touches the foundation of a structure;

or

~ a stone laid at a ceremony to mark the founding of a new building.

FNUR - nickernik - fnur- FNUR!

But that doesn't prove there will be one at Fossets farm! Which I doubt! Much easier to dig footings and get on the ol' cement mixer!

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

It's symbolic. Most structures have one, which normally includes a small brass plaque and the name of the VIP / official who helped "lay" it ... that's what the term means ...

WS

 

[Thenewblue]

Well surely a brick would still be laid prior to the symbolic stone!?! no!?

 

[TerryintheWest]

we don't need a topping out ceremony at Fossets Farm cos we are staying at Roots Hall!!  

 

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

Not necessarily. The "foundation stone" could actually be separate from the actual construction, hence being reduced to mere symbolism ...

WS

 

[Thenewblue]

Doubt you'd need planning permission for it in that case! Face it you've lost an argument! For once!

I didn't even realise it was an argument. But I'm prepared to argue that I didn't actually lose that argument ...

[Thenewblue]

Ok! well your 1 - 0 down, so i'll give you the oppurtunity to equalise!
But argument, discussion whatever! You said before the first stone had been laid and I said how a brick would be more likely...blah blah!

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

Really? I thought we were talking about the formation of a world religion based on the desire to see more use of parentheses in verbal communication?

well and that......
