We barely sell out as it is. We don't even come close sometimes, so why do people think we should spend 2-3million+ on a new stand that will probably get full?
You go up and play Sunderland.. or any other big club.. you've lost out on more away fans straight away.

Get rid of the score board while were at it and put more away fans in that corner/ stepped bit of bishop street.

I think the problem is that JR would have to buy the houses on bishop Street and the other one to be able to build/renovate that stand? could be wrong though.

Not being funny but what are they worth ?
You’d need the first four on both sides of two streets ?

Even tidying it up as other three sided grounds have done in the past.
It seems ironic that the QLE proudly states The Oldest Professional Football Ground in the World then there's that indescribable mess next to it.

Fixing the stadium is more important than a hotel. Although hopefully we will have both in 5 years time.
