So, after the Derby its coming down. This begs the question where will the away fans be allocated for the remaining fixtures?

If it's the South Stand, do they get charged £20 - I may as well ask this before someone else does?

Could we stick 500 or so in the Well?

I do wonder how much "joined up thinking" goes into these schemes.

Surely it can be moved to the other end in a week! Its not a skyscraper for the love of god.

Maybe the Allems have plans!
They might build you a pyramid if you ask nicely

No offence, but how many sets of fans bring 500 or so to Craven Park?

I guess this announcement confirms two things:
1) The ERDF funding has been formally approved. I'd have expected a bit more of a party-popper moment on this one really. Maybe saving this for a good PR day, in the same way that FC save new signing announcements for the Monday after a defeat.
2) No plans whatsoever for Rovers to join us at either the Melton village extravaganza or the KC.

Er Wigan and Leeds this season have brought more than 500.

It was hardly an announcement, just something in the Chairman's programme notes yesterday. I have not heard about the ERDF funds, although I tend to think this is probably just awaiting something like the tendering process (which has to be completed to draw on Euro grant money) to be completed.

Who brings 500+ fans?

Wigan, Leeds (already been)

Wire (at a push), Saints, Wakey (usually, maybe not this year). Cas might do as its last game and maybe they will need to beat us to hang onto 8th.

Oh, and if you lot are in form, you can usually scrape it!

New information on stadium developments by your chairman in a formal communication channel. Sounds like an announcement to me, in the absence of the fortnightly video from Mike Smith.


Sorry, on the 500+ fans, I meant for the remaining fixtures after the derby. Not an issue for next season as the North stand will be ready.

When's the Health and Safety inspection due? Best to condemn it and start dismantling before a hefty fine?

I did hear that the stand is in such a precarious state that it cannot be reassembled as it is now. Once it's down, it needs some serious attention before it can be put back up again.

I so wish I still had my holey photo to show the H&S lot what they could've seen .

It needs proper concrete footings.

will the new north stand be for home or away fans?
