    Re: Nope

    reality is it's highly unlikely to get replaced for a good few years yet. that in mind, i personally think the priority is a lick of paint, some new signage and remove the ridiculous broken glass

    oh...and a scoreboard (i'm classing that as west stand north!)

    No, for reasons I outlined on Twitter which I can't be arsed to repeat.

    I like it, but it shouldn't be listed under any circumstances. It would be a nightmare for the club.

    I just gave one example mate. I'm not comparing BFC to a pub chain, I'm comparing an example of how something being listed can be a pain to developing - surely you could see that?

    Having part of a building listed can cause all kinds of problems, even to the point of trying to paint it. I'm not saying knock it down and build a concrete stand, but I don't see listing it as the answer.

    no way - could balls things up - if you like quaint old falling apart things lets

    list the scoreboard

    It would seriously hold us back if we needed to redevelop - we wouldnt even be able to give it a lick of paint without 200 signatures. NITEMARE.

    Speaking as someone who has worked in this and related industries for 15 years - the west stand will never in a million years be a serious candidate for heritage listing.

    Saying that, if you want to stop it ever being altered or developed. Just move a colony of bats into the upper rafters and a couple of families of crested newts in to the bogs and you won't be able to do so much as open a turn style with out incurring the wrath of tree-hugging, do-goody, liberal lefty conservation bodies.

    No self respecting crested newt would live in those bogs...

    I enjoyed reading this lads.

    Seems there's no real consensus but the majority are against it - interesting that people still think we should knock it down and build something else. As I said to Jay, would we rather we spent money on building a new stand or reinvest to keep this one? Mine would be the latter.

    Also, with all due respect to the club, I don't want it to be easy for them. I want it to be the right thing.

    I hope the West Stand goes up in flames (without any fans or work employees hurt in the process)
