Think we're all aware that the Ice Rink is a necessity, Lundan Cabbie. What I don't get is why does it have to be built in such a way that limits the size of the grandstand so much? And why should it take priority? Surely there is a way of cramming in ice rink, hotel, Nandos, and still having room for a decent-sized stand?
If, when the land deal went ahead, the caveat was added "other developments will take priority over the design of the stand" I doubt the fans would have been so supportive. I think we all assumed we would get what we want, whilst Brent also got what he wants. Both parties ending up winners, all of us being aware that JB was no philanthropist but at the same time thinking it was a mutually beneficial relationship. This isn't how it has turned out, which makes some of the sycophancy towards JB on here so confusing. With these designs he has broken his implied word - both parties aren't getting what they wanted from the deal, as we aren't getting an adequate grandstand at the moment.

Adequate for when we return to the Championship. I'm not deluded, it might take years, but it will happen, as hopping between div2 and div3 is our historic level. The new capacity would've been insufficient for our 2004-2005 season in the championship, and as another poster pointed out would have cost us several hundred thousand in lost revenue that season. Hell, even when this club was last competing at the top of the third division in 03-04 it would have been insufficient for several matches. I don't ascribe to this "sleeping giant" bullpoo, but clearly this is a club capable of getting into the 20k figures with a bit of prolonged success. It has before and can again. Surely you can see that?
It's been explained to him more than once now. Just trolling without a point to make.Manchester Green":251xwp30 said:

What I've established after ploughing through 61 pages of posts is that with_menace is a really angry bloke.

As this had seemed to have become a fact, it was the first question I asked Mark Jones at the TR presentation. Now I'll qualify my comments by saying hardly any of the answers he gave me filled me with confidence that they were actually correct, as, although his title is Head of Regeneration at Akkeron, he hardly seemed to be sure about very much. As it was an early stage consultation maybe that's to be expected, as few things are set in stone.
As to the height of the stand he told me "as far as he knew" there was no reason for keeping the height the same as the other buildings other than 1). The aesthetics of being the same as the surrounding buildings and 2). The physics (?) of the height related to the footprint width.
I'm unfortuately working all day today, so I hope someone will try to seek clarification at todays meeting. To my mind it would be significant if the football ground became hidden behind the leisure park when approaching from the south across the park after decades of dominating that aspect. Were it to rise above the rest, at least PAFC could be displayed to the city.

Standard for LC really, though was expecting the smugness to perhaps lift today of all days - Palace took one hell of a beating last night, looks like they're bottling the auto spot :funny:
17k at home when at the top of the Championship, they really ought to downsize Selhurst :roll:

Yes I'm angry, Infact I'm ****ing furious that we're expected to swallow this turd and say yum yum thank you mr Brent sir but sick to my stomach that we have so many sycophantic yes men who dare call themselves argyle fans while only too willing to bend over and except this unacceptable wooden spoon of a stand. I can imagine your too busy swapping scarves and wishing Exeter all the best to give a toss though. Yes you do all your yip on the Internet don't you. Now back to your dungeons and dragons :funny:
Great, join the list of obsessive stalkers who while apparently not liking my views have a bizarre need to read every single one. Pm for a signed photo. Sure it'll look great on your mantle piece next to your Fred west picky or whatever else it is you obsess overBermudian Green":k0avmkxi said:
