More red indeed. Get them horrible grey bars painted. I can only assume they are not done because we ran out of time. Next summer then.

Typical H+S bollocks.

Get out of here!
I'd love to see an official comment if that is right and what bit of H&S covers that! I did hear something about why they aren't painted but I can't remember what it was. I think it was something about they couldn't be painted for 'x' months which sounds more believable.

But perhaps the most ringing endorsement for the new stadium comes in the form of increased attendances. The club have an identical home record to last season following their opening eight home fixtures, with seven wins and one draw. Yet the average crowd in 2010 is 6,244, in contrast with 3,593 a year ago.

people on here were saying why have a ground that big, it will look silly empty well it doesn't look silly to me on this photo and they have actually been getting bigger gates attracting more support
so if they do manage to maintain there form and promotion to L1 then it's been job well done for them.
Are you CC in disguise Dawzi?

Essentially what you're saying is you don't know why they aren't painted, but despite the fact that I do, you think you know better. Good for you.

The pipe dream that is inviting companies to build their own business units and then charge them a rent given that there are already several empty units in the town has resulted in the ground looking tatty and unfinished upon approach. They should have listened to punkisdead and built a petting zoo that housed a giraffe called Steve.

A Saturday with decent weather and a fair distance from husbands being dragged Christmas shopping, cause for concern. This may have something to do with the performances on the pitch, I hope that it does as that can quickly be fixed. We could quite easily be getting lower crowds in our brand new stadium than those we were getting at christie very soon indeed. More champagne and peanuts, less fans. Not what the board intended I'm sure when they spent £12 million on a three-sided ground that has restictef viewing and a shit home end.

Cheerful aren't we!
How many more times do you need to be told....
The land in front of the Arena is for 'A hotel development probably Premier Inns' and the other side 'A drive in take away........'
Planning permission has already been given, so that is one hurdle out of the way. Now that the Stadium is open, I'm sure that our Commercial Team are already working on securing deals for the land.
