The owners need to push Heck to get the stadium expansion underway as soon as possible. We really need the capacity to be 50,000 plus. I've never really liked the North Stand. It spoils the ground to a degree. Get it demolished and rebuilt !

It's unbelievable. Ask yourself what other big club in our position right now would be keeping a stand that's ugly and doesn't even span the width of the pitch
I would have wanted the NS knocked down and rebuilt but it ain't happening. They are spending a lot of money on the existing structure. The best we can hope for is a widening and re-roofing job which is a cop out but it is what it is.

The North Stand is full for every game. The views are great and people in there don't generally moan about from what I see in here.

It sounds like the Upper has got better facilities already and plans are afoot to expand it.

The tickets are cheaper than elsewhere.

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is to be honest.

Reckon this is a game of "would you rather"

Would you rather have universal respect or unlimited power?

He went for power and cracked on, recognising he wasn't going to able to take everyone on the journey.
