Deanburn Dave Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 The BU's don't have the budget to win the Lowland League so we shouldn't worry too much on the restricted entry to the Play Offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 There's nothing currently in the ground requirements for bronze level that would be a major problem where Newtown Park is concerned but adding some covered seats would probably be a good move to make sure there are no issues down the road.

We had a perfectly good stand until Falkirk council left it to rot. Also all this next work with the hub etc. couldn’t this all be situated under a seated stand and kill 2 birds with the one stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football facilities wise it would have changing rooms on the ground floor with the top floor having a small terrace overlooking the pitch. You wouldn't put a small stand on top of a 2 storey building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they could plan something in that would work out for everything I feel the need to "fansplain" this to you. The NPA want to improve the facilities at Newtown Park. A "community hub" would allow NPA a better chance of getting the required funding. The hub is a multipurpose facility that would be used by several groups as well as individuals 7 days a week. There's a limited number of institutions that will provide funding and they have limited resources and lots of bodies looking for funding. Chances of getting funding for a covered stand are zero. Chances of getting funding for a single storey community hub with a covered stand on top are a baw hair above zero. The proposed community hub would be a giant leap forward for Newtown Park. BU fans should be supporting the NPA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned the covered seating angle mainly because it's something that is rumoured to be coming down the pipeline where club licensing is concerned. The relatively inexpensive and quick way to do it if there were ever a need would be with container stands: https://thecontainerconverters.co.uk/foodball-stadium-conversions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
