    Put in a modern ticket and entry system like most other clubs have and save on all the turnstile staff, would save the club around £30,000 a season

    Thanks yes agreed. It’s like us at home, we switched all major appliance running to the off peak tariff between 0030-0430. Dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer , hot water when C/H isn’t on.
    During the day is cooking mostly that uses the juice besides fridges , freezers etc.

    Not sure what business can do as you and Fordy say, without Government and Energy Company assistance. ( They are legal thieves at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!)

    Solar Energy has been discussed a number of times. Sadly there seems little enthusiasm. As we get closer to the end of the lease, then the club are unlikely to invest in a project which would have to be in place for several years to recoup the outlay. https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?threads/utilita-energy-stadium.2721/page-2
    In principle I am totally in favour of your suggestions. :thumbup:

    If you look at the Main Stand. The actual roof is supported by a steel cantilever system. I accept that the ordinary corrugated roof panels may struggle with the load. However if the panels were secured to the actual steel girders and were ‘free standing’ of the roof, then the load bearing obstacle, perhaps could be overcome. I am not a structural engineer but I would have thought it could be possible. Similarly you replace the horizontal cladding panels with solar panels.

    It’s possible, the “ tin” panels weigh nothing in comparison to solar panels though Rod. I wish it could happen but……….?

    Sorry Rod I missed your original point. The cantilever system is also based on weight loadings as said earlier.

    They will all follow suit. Wonder if that’s a sign of fund shortages…if so I’m surprised.

    We missed a trick last season we could have had them installed on the pitch.
