SJP redevelopment Plan A/B discussion

[ramone]

Your sir are a total hypocrite; you really are. Only a couple of weeks or so ago, you were as dismayed as I am about the pitch only reaching just past the halfway line!? Now you're taking the p/iss about anybody else who thinks its too short! Talk about run with the hare and hunt with the hounds!

Don't think I have ever said "i'm dismayed about the PITCH reaching just past the HALFWAY LINE" ? Whats the point in having half a pitch hahahahaha numpty !

All ive ever said is the New stand is being moved downwards towards the away end and that i'm not fussed if there is a gap as its always been there and don't care what it looks like on the TV.

Once again you are wrong as with numerous occasions but wont hold my breath waiting for you to apologise !

Very good. I think I gave you that one on a plate.

You set ‘em up, I’ll knock ‘em in

Developers increasing the number of room in the student accommodation. Shouldn't this mean more enabling money for us?

No chance. I would say we (the Club) have already squeezed as much juice as we could from that orange, thanks to David Lee.

The St James Forum are presumably livid. But I suppose it's better than yet more houses being turned into student HMOs?

JW when I lived in the area some years ago they were up in arms over some guy renovating the roof of a house as he was using pointed ridge tiles instead of rounded ones !

Some people just want to have an argument over the smallest of details , you could even see the roof unless you were almost 2 roads away and then you would have to play spot the roof.

Always a difficult one. You can understand the residents being a bit ****ed off but on the other hand students are students and you can't expect them to never make any noise after a night at the pub. I guess originally the land the residents' houses were built on was some form of countryside but we wouldn't blame them for being non-conservationists. In addition, some local business opportunities might be opened up with a sudden influx of a few hundred students. If we wanted the city to be a university city obviously there are both negative and positive consequences. I do wonder however if Exeter University has its own space to build one or two accommodation blocks

ECFC could be one of them, if we could turn the Centre Spot into a coffee bar etc. in midweek.

Sounds a good idea. And maybe one night a week a students' night with student discounts. The club should definitely try to get some benefit from this.

Yes we should certainly try to capitalise on the opportunity JW, however I am a little unsure that coffee is the beverage that students are necessarily renowned for quaffing in copious quantities !

Afraid you are out of date. Exeter's many coffee bars are full of students. Even when I was a student in the early 70s we never had beer for breakfast, although my brother and his mates at Manchester did - bottles of Guinness. Their motto was "you should never eat on an empty stomach."
