I like this. Shows we're being run sustainably and have lots of money.

Do you get a trophy for that?

Not my point. I remember summer 2018 and I'm glad we're much healthier now.

Random thought just now.

Work on the new North Stand starts "in the spring", which I assume means no North Stand for the next two seasons whilst the new one is being built.

Which means it's going to be largely impossible for non ST holders to get tickets to matches as our capacity will be down 7k or so, which is more or less current capacity minus away seats minus season ticket holders.

Liverpool are currently building a new Anfield Road stand whilst the existing stand is still fully open for business, so maybe we could do similar.

I'm looking forward to our skyscrapercity thread. I'm currently following Everton's new stadium and pools new stand on there religiously.

I'm not convinced that'd be a good idea. We built the upper tier of the Doug Ellis Stand on top of the existing lower, but the lower then needed to be demolished. A complete rebuild I suspect would be best in the long run.

Let me take a wild guess who ianrobo on there might be?

A familiar name to me too, but I can’t remember what he’s infamous for. Is he the bloke who ran for election on an anti-Ellis ticket?

That was Ian Robinson.

Bloody hell, you must remember Ian Robo? Made a dick of himself on here on 030303. Called Dave and Mac all the names under the sun for having the brass neck to help set up things at the ground before the game.

And bloody hell number 2, twenty years ago, christ.

A few years before my time, I’ve seen this mentioned a few times over the years, what does ‘help set things up’ entail?

[Risso]

Dave will remember, wasn't it claret and blue cards on the seats at VP or something? Something along those lines anyway. It was a horrible night and Robobum came on afterwards and started calling everybody c***s.

I don’t think I was on here then. And I was ‘setting things up’ myself after the game lol.

There were cards put in the Holte and Jay Forsyth's infamous flag display. After that night, Our Hero got increasingly irate over the next few years, seeing everything in terms of him being right and everyone else was a sell-out. He tended to get over-excited a lot.
