No, I thought the same! Slightly tongue in cheek though. A journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step.Is it just me - but my first thought was ‘ nice, but you can’t polish a ****’

Understandably there is a lot of focus on the current stands, how we renovate to restore safety and capacity in short term. I am interested by the plot as a whole and what we may be able to do moving forward. As I understand it, (and I may be wrong, happy to be corrected for those who know more) Roots Hall site comprises of this. As it stands we have almost no ability to do much with South stand or West due to space constraint with residential buildings directly behind, a little with North and plenty with East. Given we have access on 3 sides, I would imagine we must be considering knocking down that old block of flats and the parade of shops in the corner, assuming we have the ability to do this, open up the entrance, rotate the pitch, levelling the sloping areas etc in the longer term. The space is there if it is done right..View attachment 33039
The last i heard Sainsbury's still had a say in them. (Remember the 5 mill) Might be out of date now though.Drove past the cathedral earlier today and wondered about the parade of shops (marked with a pizza slice on the photo above). Who owns them? Is it Roots Hall Limited and will be moved over to POSU FC Limited when Roots Hall is transferred or are they owned by another one of the Rat Group?

…will now be called the wefinanceanycar.com South Stand
To do that they would need to rebuild the entire stadium and do everything at once so we would then need to do a ground share too.Understandably there is a lot of focus on the current stands, how we renovate to restore safety and capacity in short term.

Sod the gardening, the West Stand entrance needs to be water tight for when it rains. I'm amazed that someone has not been electrocuted with the wet stuff dripping of the lights.
Can they condemn the building so we can knock it down and get the south back?View attachment 33046My wife’s company is doing asbestos work at the flats behind the South Stand and you can see scaffolding up around the scoreboard, so that’s nice to see work going on - you will have to zoom in on the photo
Asbestos? Aren't those flats too new for that?View attachment 33046My wife’s company is doing asbestos work at the flats behind the South Stand and you can see scaffolding up around the scoreboard, so that’s nice to see work going on - you will have to zoom in on the photo
Or build new flats on the car park and swop them with the flat owners on the South Bank.Can they condemn the building so we can knock it down and get the south back?![]()
