Blue and yellow striped away end?

[Lister]

It looks a bloody shambles, sort it out! (I don't just mean the fences but the entire away end)

Are you volunteering to join a work party to "sort it out"? I'm sure we can get it looking good on a Sunday soon...

Who's in?

I belive our ground is fast becoming the laughing stock of leauge 1, come on let's put in place plans to improve our ground or let move on and build a bigger and better ground outside of the city center

The decision to stay has already been made, and plans to upgrade the ground are in progress.

The feck it is! I love our ground and I would hate to see it replaced by a lifeless, half-empty shell like so many other clubs.

These are indeed from HSS Hire and the colours are that of the company. There are used as a safety measure in games with an increased attendance in the Away End, such as vs Sheff Weds. These ensure the cost of stewarding and policing was kept down for the club for a very very mininum out lay. Ok yes they are yellow and blue and yes if people want to paint them red and white then please do, there is no issue there.

But please remember they where put in place as a safety measure and at a very good price...

I noticed it at the Sheff Wed game and, at first, thought they'd put a huge flag up or something

They were clear to see at the Weds game, stunned that most have only noticed it now. Maybe most on here are blind? Would explain some of the opinions offered

There's obviously nothing to moan about

For me, our away end is legendary. Put yourself in the mind of all those Leeds / Charlton / Saints fans. After about as long a journey as you're going to have all season you walk out on to that terrace (except there isn't really a terrace as it's so flat) without a hint of shelter. Get wet, cold & miserable but maybe cheer yourself up with a delicious drink or mouth-watering snack from the state-of-the art food kiosk. Trudge back to your car winless & you may have started to dry out by the time you get home knowing the glory days are well & truly behind you!!

Why would we want to change it & deny this genuine 'real' football experience. At least they're looking away from that blue & yellow hallucination.

UTC.

You mean we actually paid for it?!

I'm sorry but in many aspects the club is still non-league.

Why has everything got to be done on the cheap yet we can afford to pay for a multitude of suits?
