What an over reaction!
Not every comment made by someone is a criticism, some are just observations and musing for the sake of discussion

I started by saying it was a general comment, NOT a question for you to ask the board, I certainly don’t want you speaking for me thanks.

I also said, I recognise the financial constraints, which I now see is £10 million not £12million to suit your argument

There’s nothing in my post that suggests we don’t do the North Stand so why you’ve ranted about that is a mystery

We don’t fill the West Stand, capacity raise or not, the reason being many potential away fans won’t travel to stand in it. The extra revenue from it would come from getting away fans to come and actually reaching capacity. Lastly I don’t believe for one second that there is no way at all to raise the capacity and yes I fully understand the size constraints, the residents objections to raising the height etc

It’s not a priority, yet the whole development has had raising revenue at the foundation of its plan, I’m merely pointing out that there’s a revenue stream argument for improving the West Stand. That argument was there 18 months ago as well so while I know it was never in the plans it possibly could maybe even should have been

I’m with others on here with regards YOU being a self appointed mouthpiece for all fans, you don’t speak for me and I wasn’t asking a question for you to adjudge it’s merit as being pointless or not.

You don’t need to explain better, just accept that not everyone is having a go at the club and read the comments better before firing off!

No it’s not an over reaction.

There is already a thread 80 pages long regarding the development.

This thread is purely about the development as it is and what I’ve found out and what I’ll ask JM about.

The west and south parts of the ground are irrelevant because they are not part of this development. Rightly so imo but if you don’t agree there is already a thread for that.

On this occasion this thread is intended purely to deal with actual issues regarding the current development. I have my own opinions on the stadium as a whole and what we are doing now but it’s the opinions of those in charge I’m dealing with.

Please let’s get what we have sorted as best we can and face the next hurdle when we’ve jumped this one. Let’s not make this another club bashing thread.

Thanks

Sorry PB but whilst I hate to admit it, Headingley and Cas away terracing offers far better environment and sight lines than Wakefield and they’re considerably cleaner and more accessible

Yes they do but we can’t fix that now.

OH dear,
Another rant, you sound like Nellie Olsen

The title of the thread is ‘Stadium Development Part 2
Nothing about exclusively talking about only the things you want to talk about

Maybe you should start your own forum and only allow your own opinions on it

To be honest, we'd probably be marketed better if we gave the Sky commentators a better place to sit.

Flats have to stay until we have millions spare to build something others standard of East Stand.
I'm in there a lot. Earns money and is a good view.

I must be getting soft because i keep agreeing with you. Yes I dont see a problem with the flats. The viewing is probably the best in the ground and the facilities are good. You are also right about sky and the media. A good solution would be to dedicate a couple of boxes to be converted to a sky studio and give them some nice facilities. Those boxes on the West side are terrible and I am suprised they are not being bull dozed while we have the machinery on site. No wonder putting the media in that monstrosity gets us bad press

Lol. That's worrying. A good stiff drink should put things back to normal

My memory is going here!
What was the name of the player (from Hull methinks), who lived in the West terrace boxes?

Cant remember that one. But if my memory still holds, I am sure they were erected early 80'S well before the flats.
We ought to offer them as free garden rooms to the local population, buyer collects. They'd be gone by next week

Re: Stadium redevelopment part 2 : Sun Aug 28, 2022 1:08 pm  

It was Steve Snitch but he wasn’t from Hull

All takes time and money.

Good to see we're improving when and where we can.

Interesting point, that about Western terrace capacity.

Given that once upon a time there was quite a large stand there. It would have been interesting to see what the capacity was then, compared to what it is now
