You know i love the laura right stand as much as the next man but i want the return of the wigan casino stand... Its actually amazing that flooring never gave way first 😂
Perhaps before the work begins (if it does) there should be guest appearances from former stands - so obviously the legendary Old Scoreboard Wooden Stand and maybe that tall skinny green stand from last season between the Gym and the Lumley End sightscreen.

As for the Trapdoor Titans - I think there's more chance of the Tennessee Titans putting in an appearance at the Riverside than there is for that Quiz ever happening.:lol:

was that actually around long enough to get a name? i know we had the lord ottis gibson stand as a name but i'm not sure we ever actually picked a stand for it :lol:

also we need a way to distinguish the main block of the double decker from the bit that neighbours the media block.

i think in front of the media block should be the marty's massive stand, or possibly the bingo stand.

john wayne hastings hill has a ring to it.

Did he play for Vaux with Cherry as his skipper?

Thats always been The Arctic Stand especially the middle section.🥶

Bingo Stand/Roker Riviera End....no definitely prefer John Hastings Hill.

the roker riviera end is lovely, but a bit of a mouthful. i was actually out on the roker riviera today and even stopped in at marty's favourite bar but didn't see him.

it kind of defies the logic of it if john wayne hastings hill isn't a hill.... might need to reserve that for the racecourse?
 
i'm not sure how many times i'll be there again tbf!

as good as the joinery cafe was. i had every intention to review the cafe with all the style and panache i could muster but failed.

i'm sorry
Looks like it will have to be The Sticky Wicket Full English, The Scampi Sandwich or the 99 with monkeys blood review from the board's very own Egon Ronay instead.
 
aye nearest hotel is either the Castle or the holiday inn at washington services, nothing at all in chester le street, i think it would be used, maybe a bigger conference space too, although was in chester le street last week before the yorkshire game and the place is looking a bit scruffy i thought


Travel lodge at Chester moor is handy
