You know what you’re doing - they don’t want to reclaim anything

Go and shout at some clouds in the garden

Yes I am standing up for disabled people's rights and speaking up when people suggest taking areas back, even temporary, of disabled areas to fit in "normal" seats or to make it look aesthetically better and less empty.

I am sorry someone standing up for principles and a fairer society makes you feel uncomfortable

I believe a deal has been agreed over naming.

American bank by chance

Maybe before thinking you are clever read what people are saying and you will see what I am mithered about.

I want them to go above and beyond which I am glad they have.

Glad you agree with me my son.

God bless.

Too many trees in my view. Attracts the squirrels.

Wind breakers maybe

The big screens are on. I’m going spend all weekend checking footage for a single dead pixel in case they need sending back to John Lewis. Not having it.

Yeah, and seeing as their wall mounted, what happened to the table top legs that come with them? This is the stuff we need to know.

It wont be agreed until Friedkin has looked at it and I cant see that happening until Moshiri has cashed the cheque.

Bound to be a PL rule that will be broken if Friedkin doesnt wait until he gets the keys to BMD that will end up with us getting a 20 point penalty.

That stadium is designed to be capable of holding >60k fans. It is designed in almost every fashion to handle that volume. They have just focused in achieving that in the hope that safe standing ratios are allowed to increase. Disability access and locations are based upon capacity, not number of seats, as are concourses and provision of facilities.

I said a while back, with diagrams, how we could be tye only current club to be able to take actual monetary positives out of an increase in standing rations. Spurs for example have maxed out there seated capacity and designed their concourse/circulation and facility provision for those figures. Old stadiums will almost certainly not be able to have a greater than 1:1 ratio due to their provisions being likely already lower than required. It will in fact likely be more like 0.9:1 due to space requirement differences between standing and seating.

I was only highlighting it to @WelshBlue92 and talking from a legal perspective.

FYI my father is a retired director of building control at Local Authorities (not naming them) and was in his time responsible for several ground safety certificates of Championship and Premier League clubs. Including working with police and the fire authorities. (I'm not putting the specific details on which clubs).

What will ultimately determine the upper capacity from "safe standing" without addition to the upper tiers is the ground safety certificate

Capacity Increases won't be granted unless all legal requirements are met an the assessment believes it is truly "safe"

I'm not sure a 0.9:1 capacity (i.e. +10% on 52888 or +5888) would be granted and think upper tier extensions to stands would be needed to truly achieve 60000+. However certain tiers/stands at BMD may be allowed to increase but doubtful any more than ca. +4000

It's an interesting discussion (and now you can see where some of my legal interest have come from. I get them from my father who has dealt with club chairman, CEOs, stadia operation officers etc in his time).

We all want the best for BMD and EFC. Any criticisms I ever make, is in that light.

@WelshBlue92 triggered an interesting discussion about the stadium

Perhaps try for a halfway house, where we can have a pop-up or pull out stand that can make up the 3 or 4 missing rows IF the accessible sections aren't sold. These can then be set up the day of the game to be sold as on the door type tickets.

This way we aren't permanently removing any accessible areas and they won't be under used and also can give maybe 90 more people the chance to go if that is the case. Hopefully these areas are always sold out anyhow and it's not something we even have to think about.

Boss that. But why is there a random clip of Eddie Howe at 3.28?

 

[Street end man]

With Toyota re entering F1 i'd not be surprised.

yup. BMD mush have a huge drawer with random old USB cables and loose batteries that no one knows if they're charged or not.
