Not much opposition in the early stages, but as the plans changed, (i.e. the boxes!), not moving the "new" stand, the opposition started to increase. Then, when we actually saw the new stadium, lack of facilities, wild boar steaks, etc., I think it became clear that most people weren't impressed with what we had and how different it was to the original plans.
