Anyone for a £4.50 hotdog at Morecambe? Probably at the same level as Stevenage's cheesy chips.

£5 million doesn't go very far these days.

Still cant get my head around how that stand cost so much!

£4.50 for that or £4.50 for a Pie from Aggborough? Know which one I'd have.

5 million quid for that?

Did they sell them some magic beans while they were at it?

You can buy 10 of those bangers for 50p in Lidl.

Could buy 100 million hot dogs for that. Sell them at Morecambe prices and you're making a £445m profit. Foolproof.

 

[Boz]

Morecambe used to have some of the best pies in the FL. Would have gone for them rather than the hot dog option.

Hell of an awkward camera angle, just to get his trainers in the picture...

Looks awful it's more like a works canteen than a bar.

I dunno why everyone thinks this is tinpot? Could argue £5million for a stand is a bit/kinda crazy but the bar looks fit for purpose for a team that averages around 1100-1200 fans?

Perhaps it's just me.

 

[PuB]

Ironically Ebbsfleet's new bar looks like a bland trainstation waiting room.

Fenty's pissing everyone off so much, Grimsby decided to have a 'Unity Day' last weekend.

It's the difference between a club having to make every penny of their building budget count, and a club who can just write cheques when they want to. Most non-league clubs would have built two or three new stands that complied with FL requirements and had change left over.

If you're going to replace the best standing terrace in the county, then make the new stand something special. I heard somewhere the architects were the same ones responsible for Dartford's new ground, which explains a lot. From the plans, the new hotel end is possibly even worse, with two rows of windows and a roof miles above the supporters. Maybe it will all look great when built.

I really feel sorry for Ebbsfleet fans because it looks absolutely dreadful......what used to be one of my favorite non league grounds is now being turned into this soulless venue

 

[Pliny Harris]

You've just encouraged me to revisit how Ebbsend Gravesfleet's ground used to look, and it really is impressive to see such a classic stadium lasted the length. The new stuff isn't the worst and most alienating design by any means, but you can't beat a deep terrace with a reverberating pitched roof. http://www.pyramidpassion.co.uk/html/gravesend___northfleet___dartf.html

 

[Farleigh]

The hotel end will hold 1700 standing, the same as Maidstone's new terrace. Yet the images suggest the highest fans will be about the same as the main stand with a roof four times as high. I get the wish to generate additional income streams; we did it with a plastic pitch that we love and everyone else hates. Gravesend & Northfleet's ground is a notable landmark from the railway and the first thing I noticed when moving to Kent. Maybe they should paint the club name on the main stand roof so all the commuters moving in known they have a local club to support.

Cant see what wrong with it someone please enlighten me

Surely theres still work to be done as the breeze blocks make it look a bit unfinished

Took me a while too.

How many 'f's in the club name?

 

[MUFCdon]

would you have chosen the opption that gives you the best content for social media channels? Defo the hot-dog

Carshalton Athletic the movie

Looks like a horror film

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Solihull turning the lights off.

Nothing to do with us beating them 15-0 over the course of 3 1/2 games of course.

 

[Redbank]

My Maidstone /Dover ticket purchased today, for New Years Day has the wrong date on it, which has been altered by biro.
only had 5 months to get it right................. but by letting DAFC sell these ,we are not ripped off with a handling fee, so well done to MUFC for that
