Toilets.
An appropriate (in function and location) 2nd disabled platform.
Refreshment facilities.

Then look at other things.

Sign the best two strikers possible and the best attacking mid available.

I would very sensibly focus on promotion, and plan for all the other stuff on the back end of it. Being in the football league has to be the foundations for all this other stuff.

It’s not going to happen!

We will see the end of everything fan owned, the resolutions won’t matter anymore as it won’t be under their ownership.

The second platform was never going to happen under the trust and won’t happen under private ownership either.

You want to waste investment money which has one sole purpose a successful football team on the same things that have led us exactly where we are here llay red.

We are a football team the money must be used to be a successful club, success isn’t blowing all of our money on something that will never return our money just because the PC brigade are out.

It’s blunt but it’s true, the success of this team is what happens on the pitch and that is it.

Nowt to do with being PC, more to do with fairness and decency.

As to whether the 2nd platform happens depends on how pragmatic the new owners are, and how alive they are to PR opportunities. If new owners want it they'll have it, in short order too.

Let's not forget, this first vote is just to open negotiations.

Some people are trying to go light speed before they start crawling.

Totally agree, only wasn't it said that the interested buyer's like what we do in the community?

Like deciding how the money should be spent all ready and posting it on red passion? Like you have, is that not going straight to light speed.

Fairness is at present current losses and current climate it hasn’t happened for the club and it’s not going to happen with this investment money.

We have one and we must make fair use of that, it’s a never ending crusade it’s not about fairness or decency at all. It’s people making a political stamp we have a disabled platform and an autism friendly zone have I missed anything else out?

What I would say to do would be incorporate something into the rebuild of the kop, if we can and then leave it at that. It’s not going to be leave it at that though it’s going to be a fans group pushing for something different each year with the club paying for it while Rome burns.

Iv had enough of the political dogma at the club it’s run it down massively, in fighting this group vs that group forming committees and all this nonsense. It’s a football club not a council and people need to remember that, we need a streamlined club that works on the field as it hasn’t for years.

If the platform cost 100K in total for 50 seats and the average price of entry being £20 23 home games a season x50 is 23000 so it would take 4.5 years roughly for the costs of the stand to pay for itself. More than happy for the figures to be corrected but we are a business and the business of the club has been failing for a long time.
