    Weather not good sparkey? You seem to be on an 'all things bluebirds related' investigation.

    Good stuff.<applause>

    Thought hed sold his stake!<confused>
    Also, i thought the riddler remover the 2 tier foundations for 3 sides of the ground to save on costs. We could only go up on the side we have or have to totally rebuild the other sides.

    No, it was Sarajevo that he sold most of the equity to some Vietnamese bloke.

    Weather is bad down here remote, but I'm on a mission to keep this forum ticking along.......<laugh>

    Not sure about the CCS though. I know it has original planning approval for 60,000 capacity which still stands. There were reductions in the below ground "deadwork" when it was decided to limit the capacity due to costs.

    I would still think there is sufficient scope to build second tiers to the Canton and Family ends, though the Grandstand would involve some really major work (costs?) to alter that to match the rest.

    How many clubs did he own? <yikes>

    An admirable job you're doing too sparkey.<cheers>

    I know there was some descoping by the riddler, but not sure of the detail.
    Weather rubbish here as well sparkey. Got a list of outdoor jobs lined up, but they'll have to wait.

    They can wait......<laugh>

    I'm pretty sure there were provisional plans submitted for the second tiers on the Canton and Family stands when the Ninian was approved, so it must be possible.

    I seem to remember the capacity if both ends had matching second tiers to the Ninan would have gone up to around 42,000 - that would be nice.

    Nice when we're established in the Prem. Bad enough having an empty red room in the Championship bar for a couple of games, without having more empties.

    Some of them can.

    No getting out of some of them.
    Health checks on lambs and ewes.
    Moving sheep around fields.
    Daddys meet mummys in a couple weeks.

    Must maintain the behaviour of an archetypal welshman.

    Would be good if we could get up and justify the extension. I think Tan would go for it if we were heading in the right direction.

    Away from the ground, we need to get our accademy firing.
    We seem to be getting left behind by our peer group in that regard.

    I don't want to see empty seat either Bluey - that shut off and empty upper Ninian tier was a total embarrassment to the club a few years back.

    If we're going to stay where we are, we might as well encourage Tan to invest in Kortrijks ground instead of ours. The CCS is plenty big enough now for any football games outside the top tier so it's a no brainer.

    The point is I just hope whatever happens in the next few years, there'll be a footballing justificatiojn to consider the additional second tiers through demand and not vanity.

    Well said. Concentrate on the football, the stadium (and vanity projects) will follow!
