New improvements give it 3600 capacity Plus for the anoraks 2600 new stand 2500 for west away side( i think) 500 boxes That's a lot of boxes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Hull KR have done, we don't need everyone to move into one of those new, Lego identikit stadiums, we just want every club to bit-by-bit invest in meaningful improvements. One part of the ground at the time. Gives consumers choice too eh - if you want the open terrace experience, why not Totally agree , I think it adds character to be able to identify a stadium on TV . Many of the new ones are fairly interchangeable . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like grounds that tell an evolving story.

Love boutique stadia like that, even when they’re larger than Wakey’s as Headingley is.

Anyway, 3 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

That made it an iconic view. You can have traditional and modern, you just need to look after it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From any club?? I reckon you’ll struggle! But i can promise you many fans are worried about the strength of the squad even with the reserve grade Kiwi that is linked. Right now we are relegation favourites for a reason. Like every season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShropshireBull Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 More photos this morning online, looks great. Wakey fans might not want to hear this but next season seems irrelevent in the league and a free hit. Worst case scenario season after you will have a top stadium in your own name and one of the favourites to come back up and have the first winning season for Wakey since 2017 (so would be 7 years).
