In some ways, we should probably hope that the East sits in its half finished state for as long as possible because it will be a sad day when this thread is consigned to the history books. I mean, what will we have to squabble about and where will we go to do it?
I wouldn't worry about that.
We have the new Hotel End, the mega international North stand redevelopment, safe standing, filling the corners in, warehouses, houses, training facilities, kitchen planning, car parking, the missing money...to name but a few. This thread will outlive this web platform and probably most of us!
