If we became a Championship club

By ForestBoro3518/2 14:00Sun Feb 18 14:00:42 2024

What ground improvements would need to be made, if we we're ever fortunate enough to make it into the Championship?

Surely the capacity would have to be made bigger, or is there a certain time period the club would get to improve the ground to Championship standard?

Would we then be striving to become a Premiership club - a stable one or a yo-yo team?

Now that Barnet are moving back to Barnet buy their 2 good stands on the cheap, put them on stilts and place one behind the east Terrance and one behind the west stand! Job done ! Got to buy white and red seats though ! ;-)

Racing car style seats in the dugouts

3 rows of said seats for all the hangers-on

3 choices of hot food including a vegetarian, vegan and halal option for journalists in the press room

Triple-ply coconut or aloe-vera scented toilet tissue in all hospitality toilets

That should do.

Get that now. Proper chocolate cookies. Choc chip cookies. White chocolate chip cookies

Phil was shocked he provided that one day.

It's enough as long as you get there before Layth

All the seats should have an obsolete headphone jack and controls for a never-implemented audio system in the armrest.

Granted, the ads are c**p :-)

We were talking about this yesterday. What would actually be on it? Satellites? Glaxo? Roundabouts?

I like this idea!

FWIW, could include absolutely anywhere in the town, if shot in the right light ;-) There's interest - and beauty - wherever you look. I'm not kidding, although I get why others may think so! So yes to the businesses; but also yes to where we live.

Times are tough everywhere - Stevenage also. Despite this, it does feel like a town on the 'up'; somewhere growing. Much of Herts feels... old. Stevo less so. Baby steps.

I'm partial to 50s/60s style in general and enjoy brutalist architecture than most, so I'm slightly biased! But for example, walk under the flying buttresses on Gunnels Wood Road on a sunny day. Not on a wet day mind, the cars will soak you :-) To use a cliche, in many ways Stevenage *remains* ahead of it's time. Think of the ease of reaching the town centre from surrounding areas without a car. I drive, but in Stevo I could do without.

And of course our spectacular ET. I think we all know how lucky we remain ;-)

A few League One clubs have done it really well this season. Certainly a decent/ interesting part of the pre game.

Sit in the north stand. Then you only see half of it.

Sit in the West, where you can hardly see it at all without craning your neck.

Planning ahead, it's not the ifollow camera, it's where the main Sky 4k HD 3D super plus camera will be next season.

Anyway, I'm sure the proper answer is "forget the ground". Invest heavily in aggressive/nasty players to put the fear of God into the Championship fancy Dans. Truly live up to our reputation! (Would have to include Andy Cook, wouldn't it?!)
