Thanks Deepcut for this
1. / 2. Essential - North 1st as that will create space elsewhere in the ground for away fans. Do fans want us to spend £2-£3+ on away fans facilities while home fans go without?
Corners really nice but very very expensive
3 - 10 Most of it pretty obvious
One big question missing.... who is going to do it and pay for it?
Do you think your associates Cildara will give us some money?

Well that doesn't make sense. If I were to win the Euro Lottery, say 500 million, how could I invest in the club ON THE PITCH if I can't spend my money because my turnover is too low? Or does adonation from me count as part of the turnover?
That is the problem teams like Newcastle have, the owners have the money to spend but the cap rightly restricts them to a percentage of turnover.

I don't recall Dave Mackay, Billy Bremner, Norman Hunter, Chopper Harris , Tommy Smith etc missing a load of games through injury, perhaps todays players although physically fitter cannot cope with with the rigours of the modern game.
It was their opponents who got the injuries after a kicking!!!

Errrrr it’s the owners who have to invest in the stadium, you kind of contradict yourself by saying that the owners are doing a good job and then saying that the stadium is cràp, the owner has enough money to keep the stadium looking better than it is currently.
Errrr why is it the owners who have to pay out of their own pocket to improve the current stadium? Haven't you noticed we are loosing money EVERY season? Oh you are spending other peoples money AGAIN!

Glad we've got to the 50 point mark as can't see many more coming our way...
Our season was always going to be judged by the results against the lower teams not the top 6. We have teams like Carlisle, Fleetwood and Cheltenham to play so keep the faith. We might be down to just 7 out injured by then!!!

I posted my "vision" of what we need in our new Stand, the first post on page 2168, and a few people agreed with what I posted. I really think it's time for all the "Derek posts something and the usual suspect post the opposite" to stop. What is needed now is for us all to let our owners know that, if we have a stand that doesn't include any future money making facilities such as large home & away bars , with food options and rooms big enough to hold functions, then we need to address this problem before the construction starts. I know our resident Aussie will come make with "It will cost too much" but, in my opinion, it will cost us big style in the future, if we don't finish up with these facilities. Maybe some fan lead fund raising could help? Most League One teams bring a minimum of 1,000 fans and we take virtually nothing off them as we have no facilities for them to spend their money I know we've been told that there will be bars and the like, but it's time for the fans to stop arguing amongst ourselves, get together and make sure we do get the facilities we desperately need, and that they will be an asset for NTFC long after some of us have gone.
+1 Now is the time to take the opportunity to look forward. Hopefully the Supporters Advisory Board will focus minds.
