Just been on radio - Rebuilding West Stand

Don Rowing says the club are looking to use the cup money towards rebuilding the West Stand.

What do we think? Better spent on players but then again I always find it exciting when improvements are made to the ground - gives you the impression that we are on the up.

 

Great news - forwarding thinking...

 

'bart time nt

 

He knows that's the old one doesn't he ?

 

Brilliant

 

What is the point. Will make ground even lower than sub-50% full each week. That's the lowest in our league. Would be great for it to be like the East Stand I must admit, but Championship stability first please.

 

Be nice if they could make it go round the corners to join the North and Ponte End

Trouble is we just dont have the attendance to justify it.

 

I’d rather see the money spent on players. What type of stand can you build for 3 million anyway.

Get the money spent on players. If we go up then use the profits for a new stand.

We don’t fill Oakwell as it is and surely its better to have a better squad.

 

Dont barnsley own the houses behinf the west stand???

I'm sure someone told me that they do

 

Might not necessarily be bigger.

Just up-to-date. The current facilities are beyond a joke. Good move.

 

Why would the club do that when it does not own the ground?

 

RE: Be nice if they could make it go round the corners to join the North and Ponte End

Can't see it being anywhere near the capacity of the East Stand, due to our crowds and the lack of space. Unless they build back and somehow take posession of that part of Grove Street.</p>

Smaller stand with social facilities etc is my guess.</p>

 

Good. No more pissing in the rain.

 

Good idea as the club can also look to put more corporate stuff in it and expand the number of boxes etc. Trouble is it's a bit hemmed in by the road which will effect the layout.

 

ye of little faith

Big Dons submitted plans for a brand spanker of a stand, shiny new seats , the works - facing Grove Street

 

RE: Re-building West Stand

thats what I was thinkin - thought the council and Patrick cryne owned the land and stadium?

 

Perfect symetry - the current West Stand was built from the profits when we won in 1912!

 

New Stand

Better press facilities and a Supporters' Social Club running the length of the stand. Guaranteed income.

 

Am I the only one who doesn't think its a priority?

(chinny)

 

gym, hotel etc like at coventry i presume. good idea! (clap)
