Blimey, there’s not much leg room there! 😂😂😂 Nor the best view of the pitch from there.

Dart board in the bar, card school in one corner, shove ha’penny in another Gas Sport could expand very rapidly Something along the lines of "Indoor League" that used to be on the telly in the 70's with Fred Truman. Obviously you couldn't guarantee that level of excitement every week but it's got legs I think. Could get sponsored by Watney Red Barrel or something similar. Basketball my arse Basketball my arse is the most sensible thing that's been posted on this forum this year. Well said sir.

I’m sure ‘sponsors covering the cost’ means we’ll be funding the manufacturing out of the sponsorship fee.
The companies themselves won’t be buying or paying for the manufacturing their sponsorship money will just cover our costs making it a no brainer for us.
So it’s down to us to get the things up and running

There is a lot of rust on them metal bars. I thought it was a new stand as in being built from scratch not someone else’s cast offs.

I wish this thread had never been started. T'other mob down the road announce a 100m quid development plan.......and we have a 'new' second-hand tent. I really do despair.

You remember that old saying "3rd class driving is better than first class walking" We have a 8th class sh** stadium and it shames me that i have to watch my team in a hole like that Drives me to drink (Diet Mountain Dew)

How can you tell they look faded from that photo?
And surely that rusty bar will just be part of the packing/transport frame it was delivered in.

I know, better to do nothing, because we can moan about that just as much.
Anyway it's only temporary, as the new American/Chinese/IOM/Southampton overlords will be taking over soon. That or Nick, Ed and T.Watola are riding to the rescue (no laughing at the back)

They might look alright once they've cleaned all the bird sh** off them.

The companies themselves won’t be buying or paying for the manufacturing their sponsorship money will just cover our costs making it a no brainer for us. So it’s down to us to get the things up and running From what Tom told me, each stand costs £10k. If they can get that then any tickets sales are pure profit on top. So in effect it costs them nothing to increase capacity and erect it. They asked me to sponsor one of the new stands.

Let's hope the new stand is sponsored by a Southampton building firm that has links to the Isle of Man, China and the US then.

If you stand at the top of the terrace you might need to move forward a bit though (just keep away from the half-way line if you don't mind)

Just seen a photo of the new stand, takes up a large portion of the terrace, looks like it could also affect the view of those stood on the east terrace also.
