It's easy to forget there are people behind the keyboard on here sometimes.
Yes it was good to say hello in person after years on posting anonymously on here.

In terms of developments a lot of them are still in an either/or stage. So if they get the plan they want for one thing it might change the plan for another so can't say for sure.
What they did say was they are definitely converting the big house/ showroom to a club shop and cafe. The designs look really smart and will be another good focal point as you approach the ground. They've already started putting up boards. It'll be a reasonably quick build. They'll let the shop in Ridings go when this is done.
They said they will give the gym an upgrade in terms of equipment. Same with the Rollin Shack bars.
Any major work on these two are still in idea stage but are intended in the long term. The sports bar idea is popular but that could go a number of different ways. Still thinking about that.
He said they were likely to do terracing at south end but they talked about both terrace and seating, depending if they go with the hospitality ideas down there. Terracing is a relatively cheap increase in capacity compared to West and North.
Still wants to expand north at the back but it's a big project.
They are doing some big changes to Web sites which we'll see pretty soon. They know their stuff in this area. Looks really good.
And finally, I forgot to ask when shirts would be launched but they did like the idea of making it an event when asked. The reason I forgot to ask was they surprised us with a sneak preview of the away shirt design. Absolutely swore us to secrecy so no photos.......all I can say is it got very positive response from the whole room. Watch out on social media.
