There's news of stadium development plans taking shape on the official club website now.

Hope the substantial development mentioned for the next close season includes seats on the popular side for us old crocks who are finding it hard to stand for the whole game and find the lack of leg room in the main stand hard to live with too!

Note to the architects : more leg room in any new seating area! 😉

Blimey Saughall Robin, I am struggling to stand for the whole game too, after 46 years being a Golf Roader. That would certainly help me too.

That said, I am having a hip injection in September now, which may ease things a little. Not getting any younger are we?!!

My knees are shot and my feet hurt like chuff after ninety minutes. I hope to put off my retirement to the seats for just one more year.

Had two injections and they only worked for a few months. Good while it lasted 😂😂
Seats with leg room, preferably near the bar would be fantastic!

Lovely picture.
I notice  the 24ft goal mouth warm up net and a smelly grass skip are missing🤔.

I did well with the first injection, that one lasted 10 months, which surprised the staff at Wythenshawe Hospital.

They therefore elected to give me another, with a view to me eventually having a hip replacement. People may have noticed at the ground that I always walk with a limp and that is why. However, the club's barriers help me immensely and are one of the reasons why I have been able to delay seating. I find the main stand very cramped for my legs, and my knees are not at their best. But our barriers and just the right height and have a convenient flat surface to rest drinks/snacks upon. I don't like other grounds barriers, unlike ours. Our ground has always been carefully thought out, and I love the place, as well as the club.

But me, I'm getting older now and will need to move to seats in the not too distant future. Nice thread this one.

Be good to run a Christmas Market during December in there. Mulled wine, craft beers, bratwurst stand out the kitchen.

In the meantime, I hope there will be some decent music pre-match, maybe some occasional accoustic acts and hopefully Sky Sports.

It’s flat ground in front of an exit gate and some old turnstiles. I would be surprised if it’s even included in our official capacity myself.

Did you know the reason for the higher roof in the centre section of the pop side was to allow for a seating section to be built there if required? In the end it turned out handy for the broadcasting gantry.
