AlgarveJag Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Following on from the North Stand u-turn there is a solution to ensuring that Archie get's his wish to have jags fans behind him and the dugout. Move the dug out to the opposite touchline and you don't have to move the fans. The changing rooms are accessed from the south wet corner so I can't see any reason why they have to be situated where they are (sun in their eye's in the late afternoon perhaps when it's not obscured by grey cloud). Is there any reason why the dugouts must remain in front of the main stand? It would make a better spectacle surely for teams to run out to the centre of the pitch and for the tech team and subs to have to face the JHS as they take their seats, no?

AlgarveJag Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 yes, yes, I know… it's 'wet' in every corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Is there enough room for dugouts plus technical area (1 metre) from touch line, new dugouts are around 2 metres deep. Without reconstructing the JHS (at a cost) I don't see it's possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peagreenboy Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I don't think it would break the bank, doing a little remodelling of the stand - especially as the front rows aren't used anymore. I think it would help greatly improve the Jackie Husband atmosphere to have the management teams right in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I actually like looking across at the dugouts where they already are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I actually like looking across at the dugouts where they already are. Many's a time I've questioned a manager's sanity when he's suddenly substituted one of our better playing lads. Then I look over at the dugout and see said player with his foot in an ice bucket.

yoda-jag Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Are we actually even sure that the move was something Archie had specifically mentioned to the board? well, it was repeated at the meeting on friday, so if it's something archie wants, and the ns is to remain red and yellow (thought the board was meeting today (as in monday) to ratify it? ..... where's the announcement?), then for a relatively small cost, it wouldn't take much to carry out minor alterations (some shuttering, concrete, removal of couple dozens seats) and resite the dugouts at jhs.

MonehJags Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 See instead of this, why dont we use the money to sign decent players. Thats how the club was in the mire for years wasting money on bringing the ground upto ridiculous rules aka 10000 seats. I wouldnt even entertain the thought of moving the dugoots as it is just a waste of time and money. Forget it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgarveJag Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I actually like looking across at the dugouts where they already are. So the view might be better from the main stand and the board would get their wish as everyone moved across to get a better view of the new dugouts. Norgethistle "Is there enough room for dugouts plus technical area (1 metre) from touch line," It may not need to be embedded in the JHS if the pitch is being relaid again it might be easier to move the pitch a meter nearer the main stand. That would take the action even closer to those seats (and the enclosure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgarveJag Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 apologies to Stevie fae Partick as I've just noticed that he started this very thread a week ago. We're in a different time zone here in Portugal, about 50 years behind the rest of Europe to be precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Scruff Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 People really think Archie raised this with the board as a pressing concern? Exactly - I just don't see the logic in thinking that this is an issue. The manager is in the dugout (or the box) with the entire support facing him. The away support is closer, but behind and to the side. That seems a better relationship to me anyway. I'd have though that the main impact of a better, noisier support would be on the players on the park rather than the manager, and in that sense the dugout position is irrelevant. Another non-solution to a non-problem, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I really can't see this being a big issue for Archie. Certainly not as big an issue as is being made out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Scimmia Rossa Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Interesting how cavalier people are with tradition. The dug outs have been there-albeit in a different form-since is started going in 1978. I assume even longer than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veejag Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I think the positioning of the floodlights is ludicrous. Why don't we spend £8 billion developing new under floor lighting which will make Higgy feel like Michael Jackson in the Billie Jean video with each stride he takes.

Couldn't we just buy a benchwarmer from the EPL for about that or perhaps a first team player from one of the lesser lights like Tottenham or West Ham?
