SoL To Undergo Multi-Million-Pound Investment Programme

So what action was taken against Palace ?


It was investigated by the police for a start which ultimately led to no action being taken but the point i'm trying to make is Palace didn't know about the banner nor sanction it. If SAFC knew about the display organised by S037 and said yeah go ahead, they could be putting themselves in a position to be in bother. I don't agree with it but how do we know NUFC wouldn't have had some sort of expensive legal case against SAFC for sanctioning it? Rightly or wrongly I just cannot envisage any club allowing it.
 

Nothing to do with the fact Steve Neil is a mag then? Nothing whatsoever? I would also love to know why several owners have found it appropriate to have him in such a position at the club.
I don't know? I agree a NUFC fan should not be in any sort of employment with the club at that level. I do see though why the display was stopped.
 
Regarding the PA system - Am I the only one who doesn't fail to hear anything from the south stand? Always sounded pretty clear to me
East stand hears nothing. It’s either distorted illegible and loud or nothing at all.
KLD doesn't spend money, he just wants to take it out of the club. I read it on here, I suppose those people don't know what they are talking about 😁
Is he spending his money? Class if so.
 
So, for the record, you're saying none of the work announced will be carried out?
I'm sure some of it will, how much of it is required by HSE anyway is any ones guess. People seem to be taking a lick of paint and a new wifi connection as proof KLD isnt going to sell up and is here for the long haul.

I reckon he's simply sprucing things up with borrowed money to make his asset look a little more shiny. Just imho of course.

Think the borrowed money on the balance sheet will take any shine off investing for interested parties.
 
What is the timescale for all this ? Start and finish ?
5G is 2025 but this was announced a few months ago. The safe standing must be for the start of the season as they’ve said they’re contacting season ticket holders impacted. Would assume the only time the pitch and floodlights could be updated would be pre-season so should be ready for the start too.
 
Why do they keep banging on about the Roker End as our iconic home stand. Home end has always been the north. That said the rest of the improvements proposed will improve the matchday experience for everyone .
 
They really should have made the North Stand the “proper” home end again.

This would have allowed around 5,000 safe-standing spaces to be installed in the Lower section. The larger number of standing spaces would have helped create an even better noise.

Can we try and not get carried away here
You're saying it's a major priority and major safety risk even though you can hear it fine. I think most people don't need a step by step announcement should something major happen and we need to get out of the ground. What I will say is speaking through a tannoy system needs to be done correctly
Frankie can be heard perfect because he's a vocalist. Others muffle through stuff and that's not the systems fault

No, YOU can hear it fine. There's plenty of other parts of the stadium (including my old season ticket seat in the South Stand) where you couldn't hear it well at all.
