Got a feeling this has been covered before, but why the hell call an entrance a 'vomitory'??

From the site - "Making adjustments to the structural steel frame for the new pitch side terrace, banqueting rooms and vomitories (the entrance to the stadium)"

It's been called a vomitory just to remind everybody that they were sick of waiting for it to be built.

Its nice to see that things are progressing, but I was a little bit dissapointed that the last update was 3rd March 2009, it then went on to say what was planned for the comming month. Well March and April have gone, so it would have been nice to see what happened in March and April and what was planned for May, but then again it is a Council Website (and no better than our own )

I never really understood why a greater effort to finish the conference centre wasn't made originally. It would've been finished for a relatively small cost but could then of generated a regular income to finish the rest of the stand.

from what remember this bit will be finished once the rest of the stand is up and running and producing rents etc. then the money will be used to finish the end bit.
