Ok then...

....hope you've got the band width, as this place might be busy in the up and coming days.
So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky.

It all looks very 'Dartford meets Burton' in a bland, uninspiring sort of way.

However, its a lot better than the 3 sided effort I thought we'd end up with.

What about a bit of identity for the stands? A gable? A clock? A scoreboard?

Anything to break the blandness?

Lets try and build something that really stands out like York St did after its revamp 30 years ago, not something that looks like about a dozen other new builds over the last 2 decades.

Its not negative, its an observation.

We are owned by house builders, what about a bit of flair and imagination?

Just seen the Quadrant plans.

As impressive as they are I can see some serious objections from the residents around Tytton Lane, London Rd and Wyberton.

It could be a rocky road ahead.

But I'm impressed, lets just hope the stadium plans are revised with a bit more imagination.

This is what the consultation period is for. What a excellent project for the future of our football club. We must support this else wwe won't have a club to support.

Never known a sizable plan in Boston thats failed to raise objections .

personally i love the new design.  a capacity to suit our needs, modern design and on a route that is quite accessible.  NF, just a question.  what exactly would you prefer design wise going into detail ?

You must be looking at a different York St than me Andy ,  managed there all these years and no one has complained about a lack of clock .
As Newton indicated many amendments will be made along the way .

I create YouTube videos (BUFC/FM/CM 01-02), and stream Football Manager on Twitch as BostonUnitedFM.

One objection from the residents in the area could be the fact that Q1 will take 7 years before it is completed.

Andy I fully realise where you are coming from on this, but what must be understood is that these are very early days, being there tonight I was very impressed with some of the finer details of the stadium which you are probably not aware of eg, In each area of the stadium that provides food and drink outlets in comfortable and sheltered areas will also provide television screens to enable fans to keep up to date with scores on satellite tv at half time etc. You and all supporters will have every opportunity to have the finer details you mention considered, indeed the board are encouraging such input. 
I am sure you are right about the possible objections from local residents but this is why we the fans of the club should look at the wider picture and give our full backing to the club by expressing our support and lobbying our local and county councillors.
You have to admit that these fantastic plans would not fit on the back of the fag packet the previous prats produced.
