Ive always liked the rotation idea, and think it's entirely possible. Spurs are doing something similar moving their pitch over a hundred yards or so; their plans are really quite interesting.

Didn't Wolves rotate their pitch? Or is it that they have the design to be ABLE to rotate it?

No, they definitely rotated it - when we played them in a League Cup game way back in the 70s, it was half way through the process. We were put on a terrace facing an empty space, with the match being played 50 yards to our left.
Even worse than that horrible stand at Maine Road!

Wolves never rotated their pitch . When they built their new stand in the late 70 s it was built directly behind the previous stand , a bit like what we done when the north stand was built . Their previous stand that was demolished was quite a large stand which is why there was a large expanse of turf from the new stand to the pitch , which was left like that for years until they finished redeveloping Molineux in the 1990 s .

I don't understand why people are so keen to knock down the Arkell's stand.

Rotating the pitch, knocking down the Arkell's stand, uncovering the cunting great mythical concourse that apparently exists within the depths of the Don Rogers stand, puttting a roof on the Bank....
A couple of questions for Andrew Fitton and the club board: If you do redevelop the ground, where do all the profits go from non matchday revenue and who ends up owning the redeveloped stadium and the surrounding infrastructure?

The Arkells is out of date , tatty and showing its age , if we are gonna have a redeveloped CG , why keep it ? , it would look out of place ! . It was a good stand in the 70 s and 80 s true , but in this day of modern smart stadia then no way ! , get rid of !! . There are no executive boxes etc either . We need a modern main stand with state of the art facilities , executive boxes , conference facilities etc to generate extra revenue . Knock it down first !!!

I would think that it's entirely reasonable to assume the profits would first go to the people that pumped the money into the redevelopment. As to who would own the ground, surely that would be STFH, as they would presumably be the ones buying it from the council? |

Spot on. End of the day football is a business and all business men want to make money. |
