I have heard that if we do down then next season the South Stand will be closed as a cost cutting measure.

Another sorry step in the current demise of our club.

Since relegation from the PL we have received 2 years parachute money totalling £42m and have sold McCarthy McArthur McManaman and Kone for a combined £28m. We have a further 2 years parachute payments of £9m each year.

I just cannot understand how at this point in time we cannot put a decent team on the pitch let alone afford to open one of our stands which would cost peanuts.

Surely we could offer cheap seats to kids, families, unemployed, pensioners etc. just to get bums on seats.

The atmosphere next season will be bad enough without having the south stand close.
