He knows he won't be here in 5 years time, but presumably will get a nice fat bonus for hitting these short-term targets, so bollocks to the long-term.Unfortunately, we know all too well that success in football is usually fleeting, and Heck will be long gone by the time we have empty seats again. In the meantime, however, we will have lost potentially thousands of supporters who you could capture forever by selling them season tickets now. It's short-termism and the end result is in 10 years time we will still be playing in front of 40k, when we should be transforming the whole future of the club by getting 50k and more in now and forever. Exactly Pat. The lack of availability of standard priced seating for current and future fans is the real cost of not doing the North development.It's been pretty much impossible for anyone to get a ticket in the Holte upper since the opening of Terrace View, as all non ST seats are held back for that, so new fans can't experience this part of the ground, or join season ticket holding mates.After the euphoria of last season the disappointment of the off the field stuff really hits home. I have been staying off here becaue I am just so frustrated at the short-term can kicking that's unfolding.I will go so far as to say in ditching a proper redevelopment - let's not call what they are doing redevelopment - they are sewing the seeds of our next decline. In five year time we will be further behind clubs who have invested in proper development.I really find it extraordinary. There is no way they are rebuilding anything after putting more premium in that god awful stand.It's still early days yet though, as I imagine major redevelopment plans take time. Let's be honest, the North Stand redevelopment should have been done years ago, but failure to address it has left us needing to play catch up off the pitch at a time when things are really taking off on it.

Where do you get that from? The stand redevelopment has been cancelled. It's dead. I very much doubt it was anything to do with playing chicken with the council, that would be cutting our nose off to spite our face.It's cancelled because ultimately Heck didn't think it would make enough money.
