Looking at his image, it is noticeable that:
1, There is going to be an awful lot of space for VIP's to swill Champagne and much on pawn butties.
2, You will need high powered binoculars to see the pitch from the back of the stand.
The VIP sh*t is what we can expect from the baseball corporation.
But what disapponts me is that the VIPs are to the exclusion of the lifeblood ie locals and working class supporters.
Its very concerning that Shamway are being very evasive about any committment to rebuilding the rubbishey looking Annie Rd end. And have shown no interest whatsoever in rebuilding the Kop.
I quite like the idea of a tall high stand. Atleast it does announce some level of status (Albeit the same level of Newcastle, if we arent going to see improvements in the rest of the ground).
One thing that really saddens me is that they've talked about the stand paying itself back over 7 yrs. In other words, no enhanced income for 7 yrs.
Which is basically telling the fans to go f**k themselves for another 7 yrs. By which time, Shamway will be long gone and trousered an obscene, unconscionable amount of money off the fans.
