I'll check what I can share as some of the things talked about were just updates on things we know.

One thing that did amaze me was the improvements in the interior of the stand.
The away dressing rooms are pretty ok to be honest considering how badly some grounds cater for the away team, but the home dressing rooms are outstanding.
They've clearly had the fitters from the kitchen side in there.
There are a couple of bits that still have breeds blocks exposed which they said they wanted to tidy up but they must be up with the best in Super League.

I'm sure it makes a difference to the players generally but Craig Barras was saying the word is getting round and players are looking to come here rather than choosing it as a last resort
The rehab room is even better.

That’s great and let’s not forget the players lounge too and general sprucing up of the areas. When the LED boards go in too it’s going to improve the overall experience and offer extra value to sponsors if we get into SL too. It’s quite remarkable what’s been done in 12 months if you stop to list things.

Improve the gym and training facilities and the players will be sorted across the board.

I’m excited to see what big plans happen in the off season. Truly remarkable.






Top six 2005 - Trinity.

Remarkable is exactly the right word.
Previous guys did what they could do in their budget but it's actually quite hard to think of where we could go. I'm so used to watching a team and stadium on a restricted budget it's ridiculous where we are now.

They did say they take feedback seriously and had a bit of chat about ideas for stadium but said they'll do that more formally for next meeting so I'll gather everyone's thoughts nearer the time and share them at the meeting

I didn't know Craig Barrass before the meeting.
He's the new CEO and Matt's brother in law.
He hasn't worked at the kitchen business before and was a senior project and product manager in telecom industry.

I was quite impressed with his knowledge of IMG and I was intending to be hard to impress.

On another note, it would look like Andy Davies and TC were doing their match day video from east stand. Only noticed this at the weekend, could things be moving on the west side


I doubt it, they moved to make way for the Sportsman team I think?

Be a terrible idea, showing the worst part of the stadium for 95% of the game.

Also, can people still buy in?


Yeah I’m interested in that. I didn’t have any spare cash last year and couldn’t buy in. Wasn’t a who’s in charge issue. I can now and would like to.

If the club did a second share issue it might work well if they tagged it to a specific project - ie the gym.

Might be a million reasons why this wouldn’t work but just asking.

Yes definitely. I wonder where Sky will have their main angle and if that could prompt some world on the west terracing.
