I assume the covered SB would be for away fans and The Arkells all home then?

If application for PP has been submitted it ain't been validated yet.
Incidentally interested to see that the application from 1993 to put a 3600 seater stand on Stratton Bank has never actually been determined?

I was told the same at a stadium tour back in April. I think it's part of the script........

Seems a financial nonsense to me. Why waste the money on a roof of a stand that we hardly use.
Could understand it if we were redeveloping the town end.

All part of the masterplan!! Away fans on the bank, home fans in the Arkells - how the locals in the Arkells are going to take to the Town End people whilst the TE is redeveloped could be interesting!! How many supporters are going to be upset if they are putting exec. boxes in the DRS? |

Quite a few I expect and rightly so. Our best stand by a mile, by all means put boxes in once new stands replace the others but now would be silly. A roof on the bank is nonsense - that stand should be the first to go as it is embarrassing. |

Pieman: They aren't, I expect they would be a nice earner but I think that taking a good chunk of seats out of our best stand to accomodate them with shit stands still standing is silly. Don Rogers is usually filled quite nicely most matches and if my seat was to go I wouldn't be too pleased - especially if the alternative was the Town End or Arkells.
If they aren't doing anything in regards to replacing the Bank anytime soon then would make more sense to put them in there..was that not once mentioned?

As I've only been back for a while can anyone explain why the SB end of the Intel is now virtually unoccupied when it used to be popular

Good question. I used to sit in chav corner myself but my thought is the demise of the away fan on the bank lessoned it's appeal. The atmosphere became better in the town end , and cheap town end tickets helped.

It used to be quite excellent - especially that game with the Millwall fans in attendance as well as us! |

Where would the exec boxes go in the Don Rogers? At the back? Surely not cross the middle, that would fuck things up.
