Brandon Comley from Colchester would be a good addition. Decent defensive midfielder

I've got a new fundraising idea "The Moan Club" - for £10 you can email a random DTB member with a moan and get a reply within 48 hours, for £20 you can choose the DTB member, for £100 you can email a moan to either the manager or Joe Palmer and get a reply within 48 hours (challenging). for £500 you can have a zoom, or face-to-face (when allowed), meeting with a DTB member and moan for an hour. For £1,000 you can have a zoom, or face-to-face (when allowed), meeting with the manager or JP and moan for an hour. For £20,000 you can have a monthly moan hour with both the manager and JP for a year. It will sort our finances in no time.

Considering McLoughlin is a midfielder who spent the entire time this season as a right back it's difficult to judge him. He's a pretty useful box to box player, decent pace (which several of our players clearly lack), determination (which people constantly complain we're lacking), gets up and down the pitch constantly so a good engine (which many complain we're lacking), decent tackler (that would probably be better used in midfield), decent shot on him when he's got into position to take one. Interesting someone said need a Bulman type because it's a role he could do. Considering how bare our cupboard is right now, a young lad with a decent amount of experience who can cover several positions to a reasonable standard is a very useful player to have. Considering his age if we keep hold of him there's a lot of potential to develop there.

I have switched my debenture money to the “put something yellow on the cladding bond.”

McLoughlin - He might be versatile but he is just not good enough.

Ollie Palmer's 28 ,so experienced up front

IMO it is imperative that we recruit a couple of leaders into this young squad. Preferably a CB in the Robbo mould and a tackling defensive MF a la Dannie Bulman. Hopefully a good take up of the debenture scheme will allow us to bolster the squad at least by a little...

I'd also like us to play to McLoughlin's strengths, but sadly I can't really figure out what they are...

Nah who needs the club colours at the new ground

Glad we're keeping Shane McLoughlin. Let's hope we can play a bit to his strengths.

We've got Mcloughlin...

Cladding looks good to me - wouldn't want yellow in it.

Brighton - can a pressure washer reach that high? Surely they’d need a cherry picker too?

Shag what Spit? 🤣

I've voted for shag pile carpets in the corporate boxes on the survey 😂

A4E ... they just need to buy a pressure washer ... can get one from Homebase 👍🏻

The issues also need to take into account the future look say in twenty years time, is it going to look dated? I think the scheme is pretty nuetral and as such will serve the club well. Over here, two schools were built 5 years apart, the older one has just been pulled down as it was impart resembling something out of A clockwork orange, the later one looks good for years to come. Indeed a recent extention was added and apart from the forty odd years of weathering the addition looks seamless in other aspects. Although Im aware the technology and efficiency under the cladding is somewhat different.

I like the “WELCOME BACK TO PLOUGH LANE” wording over the entrance. Thanks to all for the various NPL piccies that are being posted.

I think some sort of signage will get added to that area, too.

Up two stairs to get to first floor to get into the West Stand. Between the two stairs will be an entrance to the shop and to the hospitality reception area.

With ref the cladding / main entrance. Do the fans go up stairs to the two openings (ie enter the stadium on the first floor)...or is there an entrance at ground level?

To be fair, the cladding looks better when you see it in real life. Guess all-grey would make it look like Tandem Works

Yellow on cladding was discussed here before - the word was that light colours get grubby and streaked with the rain and pollution, whereas these darker shades weather well.

Wu - not sure why they went with that cladding tbh would of been better to put something AFCW related up there imo.

Oxford - you are correct there are a number of those rumour sites. The 2 most reliable ones are the one I linked to and [Link] i don't bother with any others
