    For me a bit at a time is ok, Gym has been done out , new media centre planned, some improvements made at the academy new pitches laid etc and offices refurbed and no fire sale of players after relegation.

    Possibly a new roof that covers the lower tier but keeping the dormer , a decent media facility in the middle of the lower tier perhaps .

    It certainly doesn't need anything to increase the capacity given our gates .

    Loads of clever designers and architects would come up with something that provided something modern looking but kept the historical character .

    Totally understand that some fans have got a big attachment to it especially you lads who sit over there but I’d like to see that side of the ground come alive again and it be replaced and I’d doubt it could be refurbed with a new roof I think it would have to be rebuilt

    I've had a ST in the past in every other area of the ground and I still think personally the west stand lower is the best view in the ground , I can accept the facilities aren't great because I enjoy the view so much .

    A safe standing area on the lower tier could also bring it alive considerably too .

    Safe standing would be ideal for the front of the West Stand . Good call that

    As far as I know , could be wrong but BMBC hold a 50% stake in the stadium and adjoining land and the club owns the other 50% .

    Left Ponty End via front to exit straight up hill felt a bit fed up. Had Laura in my ear oil. Where we gooin here? Was bustin' for a p1ss so I bared left towards bogs. Laura is only freetund o' missin' sumat so she proceeds to follow me into smelly urinal and to her horror realise it's an open air sh1t house. Her face was a picture.

    I'll keep my gob shut more often
