does anyone know if IOR are planning on extending the away end. there was talk of swapping ends ie us getting the rink end back but surely the club needs to extend this stand to compensate for the likes of leeds, forest etc and any preseason friendlies aka placky mags.

if this was to happen ie make the away end 2-3000 capacity stand and for instance we played a team who brought 2-300 would it be feasible to swap ends without any notice? ie give away fans the town end that game ie brighton or a long haul away travelling support and us into a new 2-3000 capacity stand just a thought

i just thought if we did increase the away end and we could possibly section part of it off for smaller away attendancies (is that a word ) or as i posted previously put away fans in townend and give us the rink end.. i dont know if it would be feasible with police etc just a thought

Yeah but next season who'd fill it?? Leeds yes, Doncaster probably just, Forest if they stay down, Carlisle and Huddersfield.

Big investment for five games innit??

i know that they have allready had plans passed to extend the rink end

If that is the case then who is extending it? The council? I cannot see IOR doing it when they do not own the ground.

maybe this is the hold up

I would just like hot chips next season

feel free to hit mr fireballs ears

... the tooth fairy.

There must be fifty chippy's in Hartlepool twenty of which you pass on the way to the ground and you go and buy frozen cack chips in the ground and wonder why they aren't good quality.

Look, on the way in, turn left at the second roundabout. Go down to the red brick church and turn left. That's Oxford road. The much vaunted Oxy Rd chippy is on there where you will eat Egon ferkin Ronay standard fare for half the price of a polystyrene tray of crinkle cut cack. With peas.

Then you can go in the Millhouse Lounge and exchange food stories with all the fat bastards in there.
