The gardens you'd have to prove a serious health risk.

I agree - if you've seen the 'gardens' I refer to I don't think it would take much proving.

Residents shouldn't be fly tipping in the alley, the council have a rubbish collection service for larger items and are strapped for cash as it is without having to deal with that. I suspect the problem is that many of the homes are rented and the landlords don't give a toss about the aesthetic appeal of the area.

I think you're not far off the mark there!

I'm certain of it. I've heard tales of one landlord in particular, a nasty character well known to the council.

I moved in with a buddy on Catherine St 30 years ago and I have never seen anything like it in a property, wanted condemning.

Yeah, it’s basically off the shelf pre-formed concrete. I think it’s the same whether it’s seating or standing.

For me the logical next step is to carry it on around the corner to the west terrace. It would be cheap and give a nice flow to the ground. Obviously you’d add extra to meme it deeper on the west. It’s basically concrete Lego, you just add what you need. Then add a simple roof with a TV gantry, job done.

I really wouldn’t spend big on the west terrace. Just needs to be smart and functional. For me it’s the South that offers the real potential for development. Far more space and much better access.

Suspect you already knew most of that.

It would make sense, although I'd like to see a second tier added to the west, much like the end stand at Leeds.

The west only needs basic facilities with a bar/refreshment facilities in the middle. The problem with the south is to replace the south revenue from the flats and build a stand of capacity you’d be looking at multiple millions. I’m not sure that you’d get much more than the few hundred hospitality than we have now.

It would be nice to see though.

I suspect though that we’ll just bang a few hundred seats/terracing in front and connect it to the ground floor of the boxes.

Anyone know if the work has started on the south east sports bar and restaraunt yet?

I never suggested it would be cheap to build new South stand, it would cost not much short of the East if you wanted all singing all dancing. Nor do I think it remotely necessary any time soon. What we have there now is fine, maybe just some seats as you suggest

What I’m trying to do is put myself in a Matt Ellis mindset. Doing stuff cheaply or make do doesn’t seem to be his style.

What I suggested is how I’d do it, leaving the South end of the ground as the ace up my sleeve. What Ellis will do is another story, one I’m not privy to. Have a feeling that whatever he does it will come as a surprise to us all.
