    I think so as well. In my opinion there might be a bit of a trade off, say SAFC pay for or sponsor something in return for getting the buffer, maybe pay for Millennium way to be redirected at the South Stand area. It would be lunacy for the council to spend as much as they have on the new footbridge and promote it for match days etc. only to suffocate the very things it's going to help the most.

    I'll wait to see what the council have to say.

    From the plans I've seen the housing is further in the development.

    Good pal of mine has applied for the customer service & ticketing role that’s available at minute.

    The lad is sharp hope he gets it he would massively help sort the last creases in the systems.

    I think the issue is the block of land on Millennium Way facing the South Stand, where Kingston Windows and others used to be based. If that was left as the buffer, with the buffer starting from Stobart Street, I don't think there'd be a problem. It's the bit I've highlighted. Honestly, a bit of dialogue and common sense from both sides and I can see this being sorted out satisfactorily for all side.

    It's probably just me but I thought it was funny when O'Nien and Sadiki get their photo taken with Xhaka and he then they walk away like little kids <laugh>

    Haha I noticed that like 2 fans getting a selfie, good to see xhaka having a laugh with them and not taking himself to seriously too, looks like the new lads are all good characters

    I'll see what comes of it.

    I don't like it how the club are getting the fans to turn on the council who are trying to make some meaningful change.

    I was told there was no promotion party because the council wouldn't cover the costs.
