Agreed. Pretty sure that will happen...doesn’t it already though? I thought we already did payment plans...mebbi not
I’m honestly not sure. A few years ago I paid for mine over 10 months which was a great help but I do remember that option being dropped and replaced with an option to pay over 3 months. Whether the former has been reinstated I have no idea but if it has then that’s fantastic and should assist those who would otherwise be unable to afford the initial outlay.
That looks class and would make us really professional. Corporate boxes should be more modern though with a balcony on each box, like you see at other grounds and the east stand missed out on. Shame we don't own the school behind it. It would have improved the matchday experience that the new owners have mentioned. Turning it into a Bramahs style two floored place it would be busy from breakfast until late at night on a match day. Folks would go for a 9 am fry up, stay till kick off and be back in just after 5 pm for some tea. We could have had photos on the wall of significant moments in our history. One floor could have had the latest live Sky/BT game on and the other show an old game from our history. We've missed a trick.
After January, the close season will be very interesting with these guys in charge. They will be looking to get the ground as full as possible and can afford to take a punt on trying new things - or should I say new to BFC?
They wouldn't copy the East Stand, that's a 25 year old design, stands tend to be much more rounded and open these days,
If you did make a copy Id still suggest cantilevering the roof to get rid of those pesky pillars. But making a copy makes no sense to me at all. Step 1 make sure we can use all the seats, then if we do decide to redo the stand a copy of the East is the obvious solution
I have mentioned this before , I would like to see a safe standing area developed between the Ponty end & the west stand , with a roof over to ensure good acoustics , this would increase the capacity of the ground & satisfy the need for safe standing. Regarding the west stand , where I sit , I would just like to see a new roof covering all the existing open seating plus new toilets & refreshment bars with both sides of the stand open
A new West Stand would change the acoustics of the stadium. The atmosphere is lost with the open ground we have.
