Dutch McLovin Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 All this talk of the west stand roof being painted. We’re having at least another season in league one, get it knocked down along with the corner and police box and start work on a new stand ! It’s not as if we’re gonna miss out on loads of away fans coming !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganowl Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 i wonder how much the current floodlights cost the club on an average night home game? now electric prices are well over double a year ago . leds usually are between 5 and 10x cheaper so the cost to fit them will soon be wiped out by the saving. running a football club is becoming a seriously expensive thing to do even if you have a low wage bill and dont spend on players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
