TheoWalcott89 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I recently asked for a stadium expansion and this is what they gave me: The board have announced plans to enlarge the stadium by 17 seats!!! Granted, my stadium is only around 4,800 seats but still... Any other stupid board actions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicko99 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 you have to laugh at that though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 17 seats is better than nothing, every season I get a message saying there are plans to expand by 16k, and then 3 months later it gets turned down by the local Council Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimland Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Maybe they can put up 17 foldable gardenchairs without the councils approval.... Can't help that I laugh at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJay Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hopefully not more than £34 from Matalan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I bet they just asked the fans to sit a bit closer together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4457 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yikes. 170 perhaps understandable, but why bother with 17? How much of the existing stadium was closed off while these 17 seats were built? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yikes. 170 perhaps understandable, but why bother with 17? How much of the existing stadium was closed off while these 17 seats were built? I belive they closed 2 car parking spaces so they could unpack the car boot and assemble the garden furniture in a safe manner! Im sorry to the OP, but this did make me giggle!

JJay Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 That's quite good for a project of that magnitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thats pretty poor!! I mean you could have actually made the seats in 2 months IRL!!! I hope they didnt decrease your capactiy while they were doing it?? I can see it now!! Capacity reduced by 1000 while we squeeze in some extra seats ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
