In an ideal world we would have replaced the North stand but we couldn't stretch that far. The way I view the North stand is that it's been repaired and is fit for purpose but isn't a permanent solution. It is however now last on the list, and can be revisited at some point in the future if all goes well. It's probably got another 20 years to go before that happens but who knows.

Has the northstand works started yet? I’m
Expecting it will look a lot tidier with clean crisp steps, new barriers, backing and some paint.

We could do with a globe trotting entrepreneur with multiple business connections to take an interest in the club, I had one in mind but I rather think his loyalties lie elsewhere in the game

Must be expensive paint as it's costing half a million, but then you knew that didn't you

Why would someone say that the North Stand is getting 'a lick of paint ' when it is obviously far more substantial than that ?
