Sounds good. How are we swinging it to our FFP advantage?  |

Let’s hope the Sports bar is of the standard at Bristol City with all Stoke City pictures/memorabilia

Move the away supporters or the tunnel. Put a wind break in the 2 open corners.

This is good news. With all the FFP nonsense the one way we can utilise the owners great wealth and even greater good will is to ensure the infrastructure of the club is absolutely first rate. We then can generate the image of a PL club to potential top class signings and we can continue to develop excellent youngsters.

That is all good to see
Replacing items and decor before they really need it is always a good move

Glad to see they've taken on board fan opinion regarding Delilah's Bar. I hope they put some real thought into it and do a good job of it.

Great news and long overdue.
Hoping this includes tidying up the exterior of the stadium as well. Looks a right mess.

Remove that monstrosity of a scoreboard in the Boothen corner and build a safe standing area.

It would not matter if they did as far as FFP is concerned. Capital works don't affect the FFP position. Of course Stoke City the club and the Capital assets are both held as separate companies but both are owned by Bet365. So, in terms of benefit, work on the stadium and the training ground both benefit the club. |

Good show of commitment, investing in the club.
Trying to sort out the issues on the playing front, whilst dealing in the bargain basement.
Of course mistakes have been made and we are where we are, but all considered, moving forward, would rather be in Leicester’s position than ours, that said, would rather be in our position than Derby’s.
Big changes in the summer to come, but at least we can move forward more freely as MON attempts to improve things.
Next season will be the true datum to judge things from imo.

And put somewhere for people to queue and walk rather than through mud and onto the verges! Improve lighting too. I’d also like to see the tunnel moved if feasible but unlikely. Also revamping Delilah’s is a great idea. |

Good news to hear more improvements on the ground, hopefully the supporters council could ask if the wall (outside) that sits in between the south stand and family stand, could be decorated with a memorial of maybe our premier league days or even previous captains?
Looking forward to seeing what they will do with Delilah’s and what will happen to the upstairs room?

I don’t get the obsession with moving the away fans. I’d love to see any evidence that it makes visiting teams play better. I just don’t buy it.

CEO leaves & we then have a far more active window than anyone was expecting & now the club appear to be addressing off the pitch issues too
proof will be in the pudding of course

Sounds good. How are we swinging it to our FFP advantage? Things like ground improvements dont sit on the P&L, they are on the balance sheet It would like you buying a house for £250k and then saying you have lost £250k, reality is that you have an asset worth £250k, therefore you havent made a loss on the investment of you follow |

You could take this 2 ways, a good idea to bring extra revenue on non match days or making us look a better prospect for potential buyers in the future.

By 2027 we will have, by far, the best bar facilities and nicest looking seats in league 1.
