Heard that on RD this morn too Nick, so now they're considering it which is great news.

If you look at the logistics side of things, these can be worked out easily enough - but I think the main sticking point will be the costs of alterations.

Only time will tell I s'pose but well done Nick and everyone else who signed to get the fans heard.

Lazy linker!

The sponsors give loads of free materials and labour to the club, I know this as a fact.  They get corporate games packages back in return.

There's a few builders who sponsor the club,  I heard that the concrete plinth work for the Clough statue was all done foc from Evans concrete.

That may not be totally true, but it wouldn't have cost full price for sure.

Well that's good Boycie - lets hope that the builders and TG will scratch each others backs then and get this done.

[Boycie]

No doubt it will be " at great cost " if it finally gets done.  We'll all have to thank the investors.

Fantastic idea - well done Nick. Let's hope it goes smoothly.

There's a film being shot in Germany in June, basically generic shots of the Rail Seat model of Hannover 96 (I think) of which I know there's a Derby fan, which I assume is Nick, a Leeds fan, a Bristol City fan and possibly others, which is then going to be sent out to Sky, the BBC, ITV and others, so that whenever Safe Standing issues get raised, they can use some of the footage in their reports, rather than dragging up old archive footage of the crumbling terraces of Hillsborough in 1989 and the like so that people know what the campaign is calling for.

That's the latest thing i've heard of.  The Early Day Motion (put forward by Don Foster) passed the first reading and has been up for the second reading for about 18 months now, but keeps getting postponed.  It was never realistically expected that it will be read again (it may well be, but I doubt it) as it's main aim was to get some more publicity for the campaign (of which it undoubtably did).

DCFC wise - I think as a club we are for it, but as you can imagine clubs are reluctant to break their silence and break with the party line.
