| Ashton really doesn’t want that swimming pool/leisure centre built on… on 12:28 - Mar 28 with 4095 views | NthQldITFC | I'm wondering if there might possibly be a tasty little hint about the North Stand there, maybe a partial rebuild to improve acoustics, given that the South Stand is not mentioned? Maybe I'm reading too much into it. '“We’re thinking about all of that at the moment. If we could close our eyes and we were 10 years on, what would the stadium look like? What would the East Stand look like, the West Stand, the North, what would we do?' |  |

Surely, car park underneath, pool on top. Let the water out and it doubles up as a car-wash. |  |

yeah from memory in the next few years. Im not local anymore and hadn't been there for probably 30 odd years and took my children there. Was ok but in need of modernization and the wave machine was pretty decent still. I remembered it being massive when i was younger but it's not a big pool! |  | |  |

Personally I would bring in a gang of teenagers and a snack loving dog to investigate before getting any further into the construction process |  | |  |

Council talks of building “community sports facilities” yet wants to build it in a Town centre where there is no community. Weird. Ashton v IBC is going to be interesting. |  |
