Q - Why can't home fans move into the Buildbase Stand?
A - The grant from the Football Foundation that allowed the club to construct the Buildbase Stand was awarded with the stipulation that the stand be used for away supporters only for a fixed time (3 years?). However, in addition to that, Phil Wallace has stated that moving away supporters to another part of the ground would cause too many problems and that, for the foreseeable future, the intention is to keep the Buildbase Stand for away supporters only.

Q - Why shouldn't I criticise people's spelling, grammar, etc. on the forum?
A - Not only is it rude and unnecessary but the nature of the Internet is that you may not know to whom you are replying. If you really can't understand a post, accept your limitations and ask, politely, for clarification. If you can understand the post, then the post is successful. People of all abilities use the Internet, some may not have the advantages you've had, some may have disabilities. Assuming you wouldn't abuse someone in the street because they were different to you, please retain your dignity on the forum, too.
