The West Terrace DOES need doing - it's awful. But there is order that the ducks need to be put in.

I would have liked it done before the North re-furb, but again, there will be reasons why it is that way.

I Am so pleased and grateful the east stand is being replaced
It’s absolutely massive for us and almost miracle like it’s finally happening

SL opposition fans will always give us stick until the Western trace is tidied or upgraded

Getting rid of the cabins and scaffold and simply covering the existing terrace would be adequate assuming the new stand can house sky cameras

Appreciate it would take money we’ve not got but we can dream

There’s absolutely no excuse for the absolutely embarrassing state of that touchline provision for a professional sports club. It demonstrates a total lack of care, we simply haven’t been bothered enough to provide something suitable and it’s been like that for a decade.

I never said the East stand should not be replaced ,so dont make out I did.
For what its worth i agree with you, we could have left the North stand as I think most home supporters are happy with that. The north stand refurbishment money should hsve been spent on the West side instead.

Plus the view from the new stand looking over at the West side will still give the impression half the ground is still a dump

Bit touchy, eh?!

I haven't "made out" anything.

I'm not sure what you are arguing with. The East HAS to be done first.

Whether or not the West could/should have been done before the North is immaterial - the North is getting done.

FWIW - Minards explained at the forum - for the want of a £300-500K drop in funding/build costs, the West could possibly have been done in this phase.

I’m glad you’re not delivering messages to me Luppy. It was near enough a full house tonight, and at the end the audience showed their appreciation for an honest Q&A session, yes there was some awkward questions asked mainly regarding recruitment both good and bad, Minns will leave at the end of season and thanked everyone for giving him n opportunity in SL. still in contract talks with a number of players, the company that installed the temporary seats couldn’t provide a Temporary roof, but club looking for possible alternatives for next season. JM confirmed it will be a hybrid pitch to be laid in the close season. Question on full time squad if relegated, MC couldn’t say yes or no at this time because the championship clubs haven’t been told what their funding will be next season.MC really disappointed that should relegation happen then 10 years of hard work on producing a top Academy side will just go to pot. Question about second half performances, is it a fitness thing, WP explained that coaching staff and players have discussed this and game statistics show there’s little between first and second half intensity. Obviously there was more discussion, I hope others will add to this, I did notice work has started on removing the roof of East stand, and the meat pies tonight were really nice
