SoL To Undergo Multi-Million-Pound Investment Programme

[Blyth]

Am I right in thinking that people are moaning because a metal rail isn’t as good as they would like?

Yes. It affects their lives

Never thought I'd see people arguing about galvanised steel on here

I never thought I’d see a poster have a full blown meltdown about it. Putting people on ignore and telling them to STFU

 

[Eric gates hair]

You do know how forums work, don't you?

There s a steel forum now .

 

[Rivet Catcher]

Could Multi Million equate to £2 to £3m ?

 

[Dreadnought]

Tbh this is turning into the most entertaining, meta breaking thread in some time - loving it

Steel yourself for more to come ...

 

[Wayne The Punk]

Can you still sit down if you want to?

The American Galvanizers Association and Society of Protective Coatings.

Wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened this but

 

[Dobbler]

All welcome news.

Shame there's nothing about improving the concourses, but the main factor there is the lack of space which it's difficult to see what they can do much about.

Flatten the kiosks, put them on the other side of the external walls with the service hatches knocked through.. opens the concourse right up.

Bet those rails are cold in the winter too. Something else they haven't thought of.

You’re right they should have out heated ones in soft lad

 

[Johnny on the spot]

You’re right they should have out heated ones in soft lad

"Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail?".

They were jet washing the roof when I was down earlier in the week.

Hopefully didn't end up like the east stand, where they started and ended up taking the paint off the metal work....still hasn't been finished outside.

Popped in to see what’s been done, wish I hadn’t. Didn’t know we had so many painters and welders on the SMB. Twist on 21.

What would you gain?around 8 feet width at most!Need to build some sort of glass house/orangery type arrangement along the external walls and knock archways to access !Its difficult to invest money in food outlets that only get used for a couple of so hours once every 14 days or so !Solve that problem and they will eventually invest the money as the concourse is far to narrow!

I suggested years back gantries over each kiosk. If half the people having a pint stood up there during ht the concourse would be bearable.

Tat makes sense!...you know they do stuff on the cheap mate i was just thinking of ways to extend the space on the cheap and functional ..of course we all want them to properly extend the stadium out but thats not going to happen with this lot of owners .

Hardly going to spend 10-20 million on it are they
