Saw Crock's article on 'thisisexeter' http://www.thisisexeter.co.uk/grecians/update-Park-sit-nicely-new-image/article-392390-detail/article.html where he argues for a rebuild of the ground. Good article. I think this gives excellent food for thought. I wonder what others think?
To start the ball rolling I disagree with Crocks and say say 'no', other than anything which is within our means (i.e cheap). Perhaps demolishing the old Grandstand and a 10 or so row terrace in its place might be affordable, but our ground is sufficient - with those minor(ish) changes -for League 2, League 1 and possibly the Championship and just because we are doing well on the pitch we should not get up to our eyeballs in debt again. The future of the club is, in my view, more important than splashing out just because we all feel good right now about the success at the club. We should concentrate on success on the field and only spend what is necessary on the ground.
