Trust look to buy the CG

[tans]

Didn’t Miles (from everywhere) Storey score two? Also didn’t we get an award at the FA Cup final for performance of the tournament or some such thing?

That was against Villa, then Jedco thought he was the best thing since sliced bread and gave him a new contract. Utter shite after that.

Town End is already named after Alan Mac (other two side stands already named after Town legends)
…and quite frankly as it stands the SB is dilapidated, run down, non functional shit hole for away fans (once or twice a season) not something fit for his name.

Fair point on the TE but I think a refurb SB could be good.

I actually love the idea of a statue of NE sat in his seat in the north stand.
Maybe with a button people can press that shouts “Farwaaaaardddd” through the P.A system when needed.
A statue is a great idea.

Name the stadium after him would be my vote.

party pooper - statue couldn't be in normal seat as it would block egress in an emergency.

Yeah, got the verification code but there was nowhere for me to actually put it...

Hi there.. if you can email webmaster@truststfc.com I will look into this for you

I’ll volunteer to operate an old fashioned pulley system taking it up to the roof.
What could go wrong?

At some time today we should have a minutes applause for Nigel. A wonderful gesture and has ensured enjoyment for a lot of people in the future.

Then my suggestion would be put in a special seat, different colour so it stands out and engraved with a photo on to commemorate his contribution.

Not sure if we've got a thread for County Ground Redevelopment but if we have, feel free to move this there if need be mods....

I wouldn't mind seeing something similar to The Borås Arena (home to Elfsborg in the Allsvenskan).

It holds 16k+ (with 6k for safe standing) and the space which the ground is set within seems very similar to STFC (ignoring the additional retail and office park around it). It cost 112m SEK (about 8m GBP) and took just over a year to build in Dec 2003; completed April 2005

Obviously the Town End is mooted for being the newest bigger stand at the County Ground and thus probably will increase our ground capacity to about a 20k stadia.

I kinda love how one side looks like a giant lighting rig (the new improved Arkells, sans stantions? Maybe also hand and doubling up for Summer gigs )

Anyway, here's a CAD layout, a soft 3D render and then the ground in the flesh. I love it for a newish ground that maintains a bit of traditional football stadia and no big pointy bits externally like nearly every modern stadia has (or doesn't bother to conceal) in some way. Keeps it simple but gives everything a fresh look, facilities and update. Obviously Town would move the design of their side stand to where our TE is but this style and cost seems realistic enough

Don't think this is secret or anything, this was sent out to Trust members earlier on - plenty in it about the plan to redevelop the CG. £200k of urgent repairs needed.
