Quotevastman="vastman"Not sure you're right there Homer. I was actually involved in the construction of the original new stand that replaced the one that burnt down in 1984 (I think).
It is deffo not sloped and if I recall it was built with the levelling of the pitch in mind. I imagine the one built in the 90's was the same.
I honestly see no reason with a new end why it cant be levelled or at least leveller.
Be a tidy ground then.'"
Aye, you're right Vastman. Appparently the slope can be sorted at a cost of around £100,000 and is being seriously looked at. I would think that this will need to be done at the same time as any improvements/alterations to the Post Office Road end, as levelling now with the terracing still intact would make that end look a bit odd.
Incidentally, work has started on the demolition of the terracing at the Railway end

The slope will remain, but it will be less noticeable when the pitch has been extended. I've been down there today, its all looking good.
