No probs :thup:

Please could 'people' refrain from private messaging me requesting details on the meeting.
We signed a confidentiality agreement which was drafted by the LLDC, not WHUFC and is one that I will adhere to.
We were told what we could discuss following the meeting and UtJ will be providing the details shortly, on the front page. Please hold tight!
A very basic summary is above for all who are wetting knickers in excitement...

In your opinion UTJ, did the OS look like a football stadium to you, having seen the artist impressions?

I assume there has been a feasibility study on the plans we've drawn up?

Are you insinuating that you were miserable because the plans were good and you're gutted because not interested in going along for the ride. Nothing personal, but I hope that's the case because I'm wanting the plans to be exceptional.

It is an athletics stadium !!!


Reading though twitter;

Seats for example compared to the BML 9m opposed to the present 5.5m

Family of 4 can go for the price of what one pays now,

STH and members to get vote

Away fans and tourists and neutrals welcome

Unfortunately the NDA we were asked to sign as a condition of entry precludes me from saying anything more than what has already been posted on the KUMB home page:

http://www.kumb.com/story.php?id=126606" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's not a situation I'm happy with and the sooner all supporters can see the plans the better; hopefully it won't be too long before the information we were furnished with last night will be in the public domain.

I've seen comments on Twitter referring to the stands being 8.9m away from the pitch. At the moment aren't the stands 45m away in places? That's a massive difference. Intrigued to see how they've done that.

East side at the Boleyn is more than 8.9m from pitch I would think?
