Danny Brough?

Steve Snitch, that's him.
Just looked his profile up on wiki, it says that he was born in Kingston upon Hull.

We did seem to know more about the academy lads in those days. Snitch was labelled as being from Hull and I recall Chris Feather and Tommy Haughey being from Keighley.

Yes they seemed to be a lot more 'high profile' back then.
I've got a brochure type thing somewhere with biogs, I think.
It was used as a sponsorship raising venture for a trip to Oz, along with something in McD's in town and another running sponsored event at the ground.

The capacity after the redevelopment will by 7600? I thought that was roughly what we were already at anyway?

I believe that earlier this year, the council H&S reduced the capacity of the North Stand to 1500, therefore reducing the ground capacity to less than 6,000. The new terracing North Stand will increase the capacity back up to the 7600 mark.

I guess Ted was trying to increase their market value.

I didn't realise that, thank you.

There was a period when one of the cabins on the west terrace was kitted out with tables and seating and used as extra viewing space.Entry was by steps at the back and a small bar was provided.It was a great spot to view the match through the windows on cold days, but,on the down side,most of the atmosphere from the terracing was lost.Then one day we were denied access by the stewards and told it had been handed to over to the ex players association, no explanation, nothing!

Just had a quick look, we had over 7k in for the Wigan game?

The press use them now.

I’ll stand corrected if I’m wrong, I’ve had a quick look to find the article which shows the capacity being reduced, but not found it yet, I’m surprised we had a gate of 7000 this season, anyway don’t let the council find out.

Agree and as I have said previously, I cant understand why some fans are moaning.
We are getting a new East Stand which is necessary
And an upgraded North Stand/
It really does boil my pi*s on here with some people.

I have started taking my kids to the games
If it were raining I wouldn’t go to headingly due to the lack of cover

I imagine many away fans would feel the same about the western terrace at Wakey

I totally get that mc and Jm are doing there best and I will back what ever they do
It’s a shame the north stand plans have changed but any improvement is very welcome

I just hope they can find away to do something with the west terrace

I'm not sure that the commentary team sit where the main camera is at all grounds. Many watch from other parts of the ground whilst receiving a live feed from the cameras on their monitors.

Looking at the plans, it appears that at BV the cameras will be on the west terrace but the media boxes (area) will be in the new East stand, So they will have a much better experience.

Would have thought that was impossible to be honest. Where could you put them?

Must admit it's the first time I've accused the club for a long time of overstating

I'm pretty sure the Wigan game was about 4k

Which one? Round 17 or 23?
There may be some cross purposes going on here. I think round 17 was the highest of the season with promos for kids as the last game for the old east stand.

FWIW I think we’ve witnessed a storm in a teacup with people getting their knickers in a twist over nothing really in the big scheme of things , did anyone really think they’d leave it looking like a pigsty.Fans yet again rounding on our leader with anything they can find and if not make it up . I’m of the opinion that let the contractor and club get on with their job and us get on with supporting the team , then there won’t be all this foaming at the mouth over Carter being the anti christ ,who’s sole purpose is the dismantling of our club. Sometime I have to give my head a shake I really do
.

Agree With what is happening now in this country ,as people are getting ripped of big time by the government lies about cost of living .just glad we have got people in charge who care about the club.With all the crap they get from some of the supporters on here they skin as got to be as thick as a Rino.Some of the things you read you could not make up Sorry not true some fans do make it up

I thought the ground held 11k (Glover era we were near that) but only 7.6k were allowed in now because of health and safety (crush barriers etc). Wigan at home before the demolition we announced over 7k.

The capacity has been around 7200 since 2016/2017 when the North Stand capacity was cut. It's now about 4900 with the east seats and paddock gone.

It might have done in his mind and his inflated figures, but it never did.

That 7k figure might be right but it didn't look it. No idea, but what I know for sure is the North stand capacity is now at 1500, and that is dire. You certainly wouldn't get 7k in now.

That sound about right.

Another question maybe worth asking while you have the chance is with the current necessary cutbacks to phase 1 of the redevelopment will phase 2 still go ahead as planned (rollin shack) or will that be potentially scaled back/delayed
