Any news on the underground bus tunnel from the city centre to the Sports 1/4?


Still waiting for a skip , I believe.


That film terrified me as a child.

They are making them wider by removing the current waiting rooms but I suppose long term it is a waste to make them longer. The foottunnel is included although nothing about access to the train station itself from those ends. Seems the bridge is finally being repainted though as part of the costs.

What will the capacity be while the North is being revamped and how long will it be out of action for?

That’s what I read, but that can’t increase the capacity to move more people by much. Seems a bit small time messing, instead of a major investment from local government.

I think the plan is that capacity won’t be reduced and it won’t be out of action at all during construction they will just ensure any major intrusive stuff is done this summer and next.

Two planning apps gone in for signage on the Warehouse & the Trinity Road Stand. The actual spaces on the renders are left blank though, which could point to sponsorship.

I wonder if the sponsorship will be the same as the shirt sponser so we  get two of the same  but more money?

With us re-signing so many former players, I've heard X is interested.
