Everyone goes on about how great the pyramid builders were but they don't build pyramids anymore, do they?Stands to reason, then, that there must be a load of highly-skilled, out of work, Egyptian construction workers who could easily knock us up a new stand in a month or two and probably throw in a sphinx, just for a laugh. Surely Nassef could have a word.Someone on here had a great idea , might have been VillaMole about building the stand on rails behind the current stand and then once ready simply demolish the current stand and slide the new one into place. A bit like how they moved that sarcophagus over the damaged reactor at Chernobyl.I think that suggestion by VillaMole might just have been tongue in cheek. Didn’t Wolves do this You know, build a stand miles away from the actual pitch

The people that want us to leave to go to somewhere with better transport links clearly live in a different West Midlands to the one that I've lived in all my life.
