SAR Stand 14:06 - Jun 2 with 6473 views | FrimleyBlue | With the new view. If you were in charge of being able to make cosmetic changes to that stand.. what would you do? It looks awful at present doesn't it with the faded blue cladding. [Post edited 2 Jun 2023 14:39]

This! Jeez! Come on mate, it's still pretty much a building site. |  |

Of course. I was just interested in people's personal views on what they'd do if they had the chance. |  |

Not sure why you and the other poster are seeing it as an attack on the club. It's just a question about the stand as it appears at present. |  |

I was thinking along the same lines, albeit with iconic images from the past season. Wes Burns with his arms outstretched roaring into the faces of those walking towards the ground etc. |  |

Town Tv are going to use drones and you'll see the outside when they show the busy scenes outside in the build up to the game. |  | |  |
SAR Stand on 15:20 - Jun 2 with 4032 views | TrumptonBlue | At the very least, it needs the same typeface as used on the other stands (and throughout the club's branding now - which is one of the many little things that the new management have got right, along with a lot of big stuff). |  | |  |

It's hardly 'awful' - besides, in the scheme of things, who really cares. |  |

There are a few, aren't there? The one on the side and back of the Cobbold is different to the iconic one on the front. Has always looked like they tried to replicate it but weren't quite right. Then there are the Sir Alf and Sir Bobby signs on the two stands which are different again. |  | |  |

You don't really have to care tbh. But again. With very little town news at present I thought some might be interested in discussing what they would personally do with the stand if they had the chance. Not ground breaking. Not exciting I know. |  |

Looking forward to you coming up with a whole new design to satisfy Frimmers.... |  |

"It looks awful at present doesn't it " Is that not an attack? |  |

Oh and not necessarily exterior, but brighten up bit in the corner of the Magnus and SAR. Walking through there between stands it feels very dark and unwelcoming. Better lighting and a splash of colour. Although perhaps with all the new turnstiles, people won't be routinely walking through there anymore. |  | |  |

No. The stands been there over 20 years. You'd imagine Ashton will be over this at some point, I was literally just looking to start a discussion about what posters would possibly do to the stand if they had a chance themselves. |  |
