| Quote vastman="vastman"Spot on. I simply can’t believe the progress we’ve made in the last few years. True it’s yet to show on the pitch but off the field it’s immense.
We are fundamentally a different club to what we were five years ago. We now have a pathway to a future instead of being a club waiting for its luck to run out. We’re not there yet but the evidence of a resurgence is visible.
I know a lot of people find MC abrasive and I get it. Sorry if your reading MC, it’s not my opinion but I can’t deny it is the opinion of a lot of people I talk to, and I try not to talk to idiots. However the man had a goal and that was to turn Trinity into a viable entity with a future and imo he has.
I salute that, I admire single minded people. Not all the time and not all of them but I do in this case. I like to think that if I ran the club I’d do the same, but I doubt I would, I’d get carried away. We survived Covid and we still are and I’m not sure any of our previous leaders would have managed that.
JM has bought a lighter touch but the principles are the same.
I can’t read the future, but what I do know is that now we might have one and only five years ago we didn’t.'"
I agree with all that Vasty and I'm sure many more on here do.
In the short term, the removal of the portacabins and tidying of the West terrace would surely improve that side immensely, until that side can be tackled. |

Plenty of pictures of the east stand which is great to see.
Anyone know how the north is getting on with the makeover? can see from previous pictures there is activity going on but nothing about the re-surfacing from what we can see? surely must be soon

All I can see is that the old crush barriers have been removed. These are being replaced with new one on both levels if my memory serves me. Other than that I can't tell.
I'd guess the new concrete and steel framing for the North stand is the same as that used for the East, minus the seats, so will possibly arrive and be installed at the same time. Just a guess. |

Thanks! i wasn't sure if the crash barriers was going to be re-set and re-used.
There was talk of some pillaring to sit the new concreate on wasn't there is I remember rightly, I guess that's what's currently going on.
I wasn't sure if it was pre-cast 'steps' or if they were going to be just fresh concreate laid over the existing, cheers! |

Definitely pre-cast on a steel frame. You're right, that was the original idea but it proved too costly once inflation bit away at the budget. |

There has been some mention of size comparison between North Stand and the new East Stand. I’ve looked at the plans and here are the measurements.
East Stand. Total length between 14 roof beams is 96.5 metres.
Roof height @ front (south elevation) 14 metres
Depth. From first row terrace to stairwell/lift shaft 31.7 to 33 metres.( one of the measurements line doesn’t show to this wall)
North stand application drawings from Oct 2011, very basic, shows height of 9 metres @ the front, from the middle walkway. It doesn’t show the length, and there is a sort of sketch for the western terrace development but as I say, very basic
drawings.

FWIW, I think the North stand is in a state of flux. How it ends up depends on how well the North stand goes. If there are no issues then they can do more to tart up the North stand, if we hit snags, well it will be the minimum, but yes that's the idea. |

Talking of which Mr Carter said that they had unearthed another pile of asbestos which was costing £60K to have it removed, surprised nobody has mentioned this before. |

Why are you surprised. Where and when was it announced about this pile of asbestos? If it was at the Monday night forum, then only those in attendance would know about it. Again, poor communication from the club. |

I don't see what the issue is......
Do you want the club to explain how they spend every single penny?
I'm sure that as the work goes on, that they will find things they didn't expect too - the stand has been up for 2,000 years for gods sake.
I'd be happy to wait until its finished and then they can fill us in about all the costs....... |

You may be right, let’s just wait until the club are asking for further monies from the fans for example the suggested shares scheme. Perhaps then the club will start communicating, but we might have to wait a while until they even get the club website sorted. Something is wrong within the club, I don’t know if it’s the Generals or the troops. |

Sorry Dunkirk but I don’t get your problem either.
The club clearly has communicated this issue or Chissitt wouldn’t know would he.
There is a limit as to what you can expect the club to communicate and I don’t see a pile of asbestos and the cost of removing it as one of those. |

Again, don't see what the problem is....
If they do I'm sure they will say what they will use the money for....
You can of course not bother contributing if that's the case........
If as you say, there is something wrong with the club, but you don't know what it is, be sure to let us all know when you find out..... |

At fans forum Mr Carter said they had found some more asbestos and it was costing the club 60,000 to remove get a few more problems like that and it starts adding up the cost |
