Personally, I wouldn't mind just extending the existing West Stand to the South and North to run the full length of the pitch. I'm probably the only one, but I quite like the Cricket Pavilion design. It would increase seated capacity and increase the higher income corporate boxes at least cost. No need to move the pitch then and the capacity can be incrementally built up on the other 3 sides.
However, let's get the South stand over the line and worry about that afterwards.
Sure the West Stand is the size and length it is because these are the same dimensions as the old rugby grandstand that it replaced. Seem to remember that there were planning issues about ‘right to light’ for the houses behind. Light from what though, the sun moves behind the West stand so it would not block sunlight for the houses behind?

Excellent! Jevani Brown has a lot of quality and we’re blessed to have him and Evans in the squad. The type of player that can unlock a defence from a central position, that we have not always had. Those two sharing that role in the team can only be good news. Really pleased for McCormick, who had a frustrating last year but is beginning to show his true form again. Vale and Grant are a massive bonus given our injury problems in defence, stepping up when most needed in unfamiliar roles. Good job we signed Martin when we did, given the injury to Marquis. Things are looking up. Two wins on the bounce. If we can stay in and around mid table for the next couple of months and get some of those injured players back on the pitch we might be able to push for a play off spot after Christmas. win at Oxford and automatics should be a target. Not many teams will have spending power in January or the strength of a back up 11 waiting in the wings once the injuries clear up.Not sure there will be such a time, Rossiter and Crama out long term and a constant flow from the rest

There are already 5 games off in our division (assume call ups already made?) for that Saturday. Surely if our game was going to be off it would have been included with these and off already? We were called off later than some last time and still not the last to be announced, would expect to know by the end of the week though

So what’s the deal if you’ve purchased tickets? They will be valid for the rearranged game or you can return them for a refund

Obviously pleased with the win but I thought it was a shame the Vale player got sent off as it ruined the flow of the play, I think that we would have still got the result against 11 men but it would have been more entertaining

Well I’m a bit flummoxed. It felt like the Wigan game was the start of a run and the confirmation of form for the season we are all hoping for. Playoffs, maybe more! A fairly standard defeat at the posh with the right amount of coulda shoulda woulda chances for us and it’s a totally normal hiccup and on to port vale but somehow there always seems to be a way of spaffing any feel good vibes or momentum up the wall. The ridiculous dressing down of Aaron Collins last season that he’s yet to return to form from, the James belshaw pantomime and I forget what went on but straight after the head shaving event something happened to make sure there was nothing but cloudy skys. Pfffft Yeah Barton seems to throw a spanner in the works from time to time , I guess we’ll just have to see how this one pans out.

2-1 Marquiss and Vale to score Yes but who will get Rovers other goal?

If JB had personally carried out the surgery that saved Nick’s life the same people on here would find a way to criticise him for it. Not worth arguing with them. At the same time, if JB stubbed a cigar out in Nicks face some people on here would excuse it

Going to be pretty dark at that end of the ground tonight with the restricted lighting or has there been any added to the new stand? Make sure you have your phone fully charged and your torch app at the ready!

Wow! It is going to look like an actual ground. Can't wait. The Pillars are really close to the pitch, I assume there will be protection from them for the players that could possibly collide with them?

Going for a draw or a port vale win. After the antiques at the weekend and Barton’s weird team selections I’m feeling his time at the club is coming to an end. Hoping Sincs will actually get some decent game time tonight…. Hoping for a win but can’t see the squad being very happy right now after yet another player being savaged publicly by Barton. what Barton was on Antiques Roadshow on the weekend, why has no one posted a clip, is there no end to this man’s lack of morals, it will be songs of praise next, he needs gone now. Pay per view only

Only 6 have won more. Pointless stat. Is pointless a pun there? I have a Pointless stat, there have been 1,193 episodes

Going by the hospitality prices the remaining games are split into 3 categories
Cheapest Price Port Vale Stevenage Orient Shrewsbury
Middle Price Northampton Fleetwood Cheltenham Cambridge Blackpool Oxford Burton Carlisle Posh
Most Expensive Price Exeter Pompey Charlton Derby Reading Bolton
So perhaps pay on the day is split in the same way?
