I would however like us to put a roof on the North stand and make that the dedicated away stand, then the away supporters could at least come and not get wet! I think this would encourage a few more, but as someone else said, a state of the art North stand as proposed, would not see enough improvement in away support to justify getting ourselves too much debt at this point in time. However, it is a must for the future, when and if the government can get this country out of the poop we are in financially.

The extension to the eats stand is a must and I think that will definitely help increase our gate, I know a fair few that, if they can't stand with their mates in the east stand, they pick and choose games to come too.

As you can see they left Oxford with the option of a golf stand on one end.

If that is the case, then they should maybe put the roof on the new golf stand in the south, and then when the new North stand is built, just flog the other golf stand. In my opinion we desperately need to improve the standard of facility we offer away supporters at CP even if it is just a temporary measure.

A lot of you might disagree but I just don't think extending the east stand should be youre priority tbh.

Kingston Rovers wrote:East stand must be the priority, we know we will fill it and have continued revenue from it. Putting a temp stand at the south will not mean we will fill it with away fans. An extended full east stand bringing in paying customers is a better prospect than a half empty south stand with some away teams not bringing many i.e. catalans, celtic. Then when times are better concentrate on the away facilities because the view needs improving from the south stand and facilities there are poor.
