    Ah,go,t it i sit alongside the tunnel(which is lobsided with the half way line) that in turn means that the half way line will be moved left towards the kop, so the pitch must also be moving towards the kop a few yards.

    Funny that annoyed me watching the live games on tv. Centre circle line not in line with the tunnel. More to the kop. Always looked like a fcuk up. Probably was at sometime

    A friend of mine said it was 1.2 million.
    The boiler will be about 250K.

    Well lets hope we have a decent team to play on it.. The Bros havent gone to all of this expense to see us languish in the lower half of the league. So, SM and his so called management team had better start the season with a bang, otherwise a taxi for Wealdstone will be waiting.

    Correct

    .

    Well let's hope that "the management team" are given the correct tools so if there are any failings it will be clear where they lie and early decisions can be made before the season is wasted.

    Maybe they have had to upgrade the pitch to allow our premier league neighbours ( should they survive) to play at Meadow Lane when they start their multi zillion pound stadium works ....

    Love your icon; Chopper v Billy!! Great game that. If any of you new boys want a look at how football used to be played look on Youtube for Chelsea v Leeds 1970 FA Replay (makes you shudder).
    And it is easy to see why reffing standards got tougher.

    That’s some investment, with the nest purchase plus the renovation of it, surely they’re getting towards 3 million.
    These guys are switched on, trying to get us sustainable is a very sensible strategy as we will probably see more clubs go bust, then the league will bring in stronger FFP type rules in and it will be the clubs that are bringing in the most internally raised revenue that will succeed, obviously we need to be doing positive on the pitch too.

    As always actions speak louder than words and that’s one thing I’ve admired about our owners in the five years they have owned the club. No big promises or statements of this that and the other in x amount of time. Just quietly and unassumingly going about running the club how they see fit and giving updates just slightly ahead of time that projects are starting.

    It can’t be underestimated what an investment this is for a league two club. It must be biggest single investment in the playing surface and future proofing it and the stadium since it was built. Not forgetting the nest as well.

    It basically means any club at any level could play on this pitch in the future and there is the potential to not have to postpone games in the winter as well.

    Also if Forest need a temporary home then our ground will be fit for purpose.

    Might even put us in the frame for U21 internationals perhaps?
