Bury road roof.
I'm no accountant but I reckon shifting plastic bottles of carlsberg for nigh on 4 gib a pop will be a good earner. As long as the construction doesn't affect the outlay on players. How much money does the new consortium have?
It would become our end, it would offer atmosphere and shelter and you wouldn't have to go in there if you didn't like it. It's private money not ours funding it and would be an improvement. Why not have it ? Apart from a few " I told you so's" I'd then have to shut up. Win win innit !
Bollix to Shampoo, it's real poo we want !
Beer profit will take a long time to cover the outlay surely. Out of interest do we run that ourselves? As other catering is subcontracted for a fixed price.
My point is more that I'd rather private money went on things we need or that help us become sustainable. This just seems like a sunk cost with little return.

I'm not a builder so I don't know how much it'd cost to build it, but we would most certainly bring in a sponsor for a stand if built there so would generate some money to pay it off. Also a bar is desperately needed so I'm all for it if the money is spare

Funny that, I actually dreamt that there was a roof built on the stand just the oither day. Maybe it's cos I read too many of ARNUs posts.

Does putting a roof there:
1) increase revenue;
2) make us a better team on the pitch;
3) need to be done due to ground regulations, or safety issues?
I reckon the answer to all 3 of those is no, so there are probably better ways to spend the money.
But if Glyn Hopkin wants to chuck some of his own money at it, then so be it.
The idea that it will improve atmosphere or become our end is strange though.
The same was said about making the TBS available to home supporters. That didn't seem to make any difference.
Most people that stand in the Sieve do so because it's their preferred viewing place and they don't want to be behind the goal.

If this proposal is going to happen then it has to be a good thing and I would say
1 Absolutely would increase as to how much hard to quantify
2 Arguably yes would tighten up the ground possibly generate a better atmosphere
3 Doesn't need to be most likely would it be an improvement then yes totally

On your last point about it improving the atmosphere. Sadly I can see your point. The ground can be as good or bad as you like you need the fans to do it. Unfortunately there's only up to around 50 fans who wanted to chant at games, they are all trying as hard as they can and all credit to them, but the lack of numbers make it hard to do. Therefore I think your right it won't make much differenceAdrian wrote:Does putting a roof there:

Adrian you made some good points. Personally I like standing in the sieve but if there is to be a new stand with a bar I will be taking in a half time pint.
Glyn seems to want to get the club up and running so we all benefit one way or another.

2: I asked if it would make us a better team on the pitch. Neither of your points support that.
3: So you agree that the answer to the question asked is no then?
1 As it wouldn't turn people away safe to assume it may attract more by better facilities
2 A better atmosphere general surroundings may generate more of a home advantage
3 As you are being pedantic I will equally be and say yes it would be required to achieve our future aspirations of Premier League football

It would definitely improve the atmosphere. There's plenty of fans the terraces that would sing along with the TBS lot (including myself) but obviously can't. When we play local away games the noise is always good (Bromley, Braintree etc)
A better atmosphere would entice a younger crowd - youngsters love chanting at a match. I started going in 2003 purely because of the good atmosphere and banter in the sieve (especially with the drum/trumpet). If the noise levels were like they are now i might not have bothered.
Build a roof, get all the fans together in one group, make some noise and attract new fans.
