singe Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) I just wrote to Alan and Simon to say thanks, but add to the wish list! Dear Alan and Simon, Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your tenacity in coming up with such a great ground proposal. I know in this current economic climate that we are very lucky to have such plans. And that we will be the envy of many clubs for the next few years in being able to forge ahead, where others will not have the fudnging in place any more. Of course, there is going to be a huge wish list for people to have for the new stadium, but I would like you to consider oen that others may not have mentioned yet. The acoustics: would it be possible to engineer the stands so that the home support is magnified to the equivalent of 100,000 men and the away support of 10 mice. Rather than the other way round as is currently the case at Boundary Park! Seriously, I'd just like this opportunity to again say thanks. Yours in sincere appreciation, Edited July 24, 2009 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours in sincere appreciation, Why would we want it to sound like 100,000 men shouting "F*** Off Eardley, You're gash!"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamSheridan Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think this letter will only work if we use Steinbeck analogies. I'm sure we can do something with leaving the desolate wasteland and heading towards a new beginning*. *Then again, they end up as bad as they were, so probably not the best analogy on that one.

How does anyone know the proposals are great? We haven't seen any plans yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you ahve answered your own questions. No one (including me) has said the plans were great, just the proposals. As you say we have not seen the plans yet. It took the proposal being the sell BP, move to Failsworth, reduce the debt, have a brand new stadium with no debt to build it, and the atempt to make us self financing.

ghostofcecere Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The technology is there; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7450321.stm We don't need technology so much, as we can already hear it at BP. If you have a roof on a stand that rises to an apex like The Chaddy then the sound gets caught up in there and doesn't project out, if you have a speaker shaped roof like the RRE, then your problem is solved!

Only if people actually make some noise. If everyone is sat in silence the shape of the roof is irrelevent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once we see the plans, the proposal might seem a little bit rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
