It's all about making use of what you've got, we had one end sat doing nothing that is now a thriving money making little area that helps create a great atmosphere, perfect in IMG's eyes, FC however find themselves in a 2thirds empty stadium that they can't do anything with.

It's all about the innovation
I guess if you can't afford to extend the capacity and wouldn't fill it anyway it's better than empty space
Have always found the obsession surrounding the burger van end funny, its as if they have discovered fire. Its literally a bar and food area, something every team in the league has. They will generate as much money from food/drink sales as any other team in the league who attract a half decent attendance.
Come to think of it, anybody noticed how they're not hosting any concerts this year? It's almost as if they made an embarrassing loss on them last year. One of the many 'perks' of owning your own dump.

Totally agree. You'd think it was Madison Square Garden according to Sky.

Nail on the head,
Before Craven Streat it was the Zebrugge stand that you lot filled once a year, now its rammed every home game with live music and street foods, Rovers could probably have built a little stand there instead, but it'd only get used very sporadically so it probably doesn't make sense right now.
For what it's worth I'm not a Craven Streat fan, I was in the East stand the other week and a few people were eating those Greek gyro's, they smelt unreal, I was nearly drooling whilst trying to watch the game

The smell of overcooked fatty meat. Haute cuisine.
The Ok's one of the worst overseas signings ever seen in SL (along with Pele) Agent Smith carried on his amazing overseas recruitment (Vete, Simms and Takairangi) when he moved across the city, and has probably set you back two years aswell
