That stand at Sittingbourne wasn't a bad place to watch football from. Nice elevation, with a good view of the pitch. Bloody cold though.

I'm a firm believer that perception of cold decreases as the quality of football improves - it's why premier league grounds don't bother with Bovril but I get through about three cups of it during the average Stones away game.

That shows how standards have improved. If only the forum had matched that improvement

Remember the original incarnation of the main stand at Bourne Park? Built out of scaffolding, planks of wood and polythene sheeting, if I recall correctly. Bryan awarded it the 'Blue Peter stand built out of pipe-cleaners and sticky-back plastic' award that year, I think... How the hell that got a safety certificate (assuming it needed one) is beyond me. And I'm sure that place had a micro-climate all of its own.

Lots of decent photos and info on the new stand in this weeks KM. Also how terry and bill were inspired by the stand at Weston super mare it's well worth a read.

I think it might be the same stand reincarnated at Solihull Moors

Anything like this strange looking structure at Holmesdale?

Anything like this strange looking structure at Holmesdale? Not a million miles away! Actually, if anything the Solihull one looks even dodgier... I used to hang about behind the goal at the car park end and glance over nervously every time the wind got up.

The KM came out on Thursday this week. Has it been doing this for ages and I just haven't noticed, or is something weird happening this weekend?

I still say the main stand looks weird and unbalanced, even if that makes me an ingrate. But I'm not as bad as the cheapskate on Twitter who asked for a refund on his kid's ticket when the opening night special offer was announced. Well done to Mr Ash for agreeing politely without resorting to the kind of language I would have used at such a request.
