    Bit of extra info. I believe that Arthur used to own a toy making factory (Green Monk) where he used to produce Sooty glove puppets amongst other things.

    "Referee sits in a glass box suspended over the pitch". Hinchcliff-esque!

    That's definitely what we should do with referees. But they're not allowed to go home after the match, once they're in the box, that's where they live for the rest of their lives.

    I like his idea of the sliding roof to collect rain water. That stand must hold about 100,000 people according to his figures. With that in mind, I'm not sure fibreglass has the necessary strength for the load intended. Other than that, I don't see any problems. And all built for less than the cost of the East Stand.

    Brilliant. I've just had a vision on a hoard of angry Barnsley fans scaling the suspension cable and confronting a terrified Gary Willard trapped in his glass box.

    But I thought that's where all referees were kept until the day of the match

    Got to be 50's at the very latest given his estimate is £2500000 - that wouldn't even cover the architects and backhanders to the council these days!

    I've had a better idea. Instead of leaving the referee dangling above the pitch in the box between games and having the same official for the rest of his life - after the game the ref-in-a-box is taken in to storage, as is the ref-in-a-box from every other game, as all grounds have a similar system. For each fixture you get a different ref-in-a-box delivered and installed above the pitch. A ref-in-a-box that performs consistently well is used regularly, but a ref-in-a-box that continues to get decisions wrong is moved to the back of the storage unit and only taken out at times of emergency.

    Sliding roof, 'hawkeye' technology, Academy on site, floodlights attached to the stands, multi-use for the stadium.

    I believe so, before it moved to Monk Bretton. After the Monk Bretton factory closed, Redfearn's bought it for the sports and social club.

    we have a lot of what he says is already here.... Ref in a glass box no... but we do have the 4th official.. who has video replay etc. One day that guy will be not that far away from what he has written.

    I have a vision right now of the box getting more and more full of referees.
