There will be an independent arbiter on the meeting between DSA and WST/Club which is a separate issue.

Speaking personally I have a lot of faith, respect and trust in WST board member Steve Lloyd (whom I regard as a friend) to sort the meeting out .

Any chance that one of these will be in the Mold Road Stand?

I can't see the DSA having much say where they go.

Personally speaking I think every stand should be open to fans to give a choice of views.

Accessible toileting should be in every stand as a minimum imho.

Believe me, this issue most certainly won't 'blow over', and will come back to bite them on the arse over, and over.

18 months,yes,18 months on from an overwhelmingly backed WST members' resolution and we have? ..... That's right, NOTHING. To refer to this inaction as a disgrace, would be understating the situation. I don't expect every fan to see the importance of this issue, we all have a different set of social priorities, but every fan must see the absolute disregard that the FC board have shown, to the wishes of a not insignificant representative sample of the club's fans.

Any ideas what the actual cost is too the club itself?

Will it be the same cost as the first as In like for like, no need to shop around use the sams materials from the same company? I get the first one didn’t cost the club but what did it cost overall to someone anyone have the figures?

What does it matter regarding cost. It is what the supposed OWNERS voted for and should have been acted on.18 months later is a disgrace and reflects badly

What are the costs it’s an easy answer, I was under the impression that the stands didn’t cost the club.

It was voted on by a small amount of members in comparison too how many members the trust have.

But I agree if voted on it should be acted on, however if there’s a cost to the club making peanuts how is it supposed to be paid for?

I’m not defending the board at all.

The DSA have not been advised of the actual cost of platform 2.
Club Director and back if shirt sponsor Phil Salmon has said that he will personally pay for platform 2 at no cost to the club. The Christmas 2018 raffle was specifically for platform 2 and seems to have made around £8000 profit so the club must be quids in.

Platform 1 cost approx £19,000. The DSA paid £9,500 with the rest paid by matched funding from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund (a Premier League fund for developing stadia further down the pyramid).
