No it's all useable. It's just the club chooses not to use the half near the away fans as the ground is less than half full anyway. It's opened when needed
Certain bits of the ground could do with a lick of paint and there's quite a few repairs needed around the place, but I'd be disappointed to see the West Stand go. If the ground was packed to the rafters every week, maybe, but it isn't and isn't ever likely to be on a regular basis.
Just thought I'd read somewhere that Patrick was spending thousands each season for safety certificate and was closing part of ground to fans. I don't think its (the far side )been used since we played manure in 2009.mind ght have read it wrong mind
I'd turn it into a wild water park come theme park celebrating albert hirsts' pork pies. I'd have the worlds largest water slide delivering pork pie styled rubber rings in an endless stream of a combination of adulation to the great pie maker and thrill a minute aqueous hilarity and thrill seeking. At one end there'd be an amusement arcade and a large vat of simulated aspic that you could throw your Uncle Bob in for a small donation to the local owl sanctuary. There'd also have to be some kind of brown sauce filled water balloon throwing game - but I need to put more thought into how this could be marketed to avoid it being called the diarhoea game or similar. On match days it would all fold up in a orgami- octimus price style masterpiece to be a 10,000 seater stand - of course in the style of an empty pork pie crust with all the people issued pinky t shirts when they entered to give the effect when they sat down of being the pork in the pie. It have it sponsored by Hayseldenes. The chairs used by Police officers would have inbuilt whoopee cushions which reset themselves every time the officer stood up. I bet you can't wait for me to win the lottery and buy the club.
It's not, it's in Featherstone. See you in Redfearn's. On the 5th Saturday. In the meantime, logon to the BBS at gone midnight to share thoughts about me. You big flirt.
Hahaha you missed out last week, it was my round!! Do you turn into to a pumpkin after midnight ( [MENTION=7244]bossman[/MENTION] keep quiet)
As Tykemike says, it should be given the treatment that Craven Cottages old stand got, and at least retain a little of the history.
I'd remove the tv gantry to reveal the gable behind it, and give it all a good lick of paint, job done. The tv gantry could go at the top of the East stand, which is where I think burnley have theirs in a very similar stand
