Good.

The north stand needs redeveloping for more corporate stuff. Thats about it.

Maybe when the council see they have a board that are trying to give as well as take from the local community they will stop bankrupting the club with rent payments.

The rent payments aren't really that much though.

Try half of that, and about 2/5 of that is based on attendances. Base rent is circa £90k, but it varies according to the retail price index.

I wonder if there really is a second concourse in the Don Rogers Stand or this was just something they made up to make the County Ground site sound more exciting?

Think there was talking of trying to re-located the cricket club so the Club could use the space.

I think the idea was that the football club bought the king edwards place in wanborough where they train, then re-locate the cricket club up.

I think someone else has bought King Edwards place since then

There was Ralphy. Although the cricket pavillion has to remain, which limits your options for what you do with the land once you've bought it...even if the ground redevelopment wouldn't be anywhere near it

Arkells - maybe make it two tier with corporate boxes similar to...

Town End - Maybe an all seater stand (with provision for safe standing) like...

Stratton Bank - A Smaller stand similar to.. (or identical to the picture above)

[url width=603 height=266]http://www.footballgroundguide.com/hartlepool3.jpg[/url]

Obviously with red seats, similar roof structure so it's tidy or whatever and the DR Stand stays the same?

On another note are teams in the lower 2 divisions allowed to build grounds with terracing? If so Obviously need a terrace area
