Talk:St Andrew's (stadium)

message: Anyone know why this stadium is called St Andrews? Is there a Scottish influence? --Ukdan999 16:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I assume after today's postponement that the ground does not have under-soil heating? If so I would find this surprising. --Jameboy (talk) 13:53, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: No under-soil heating?

message: The lead section is supposed to stand as an intro to the article, and as a summary of each section. I think the wording before the recent changes sums up the main points of the Other uses and Future sections well enough without getting too wordy.
The Other uses section mentions the ground being chosen twice as the venue for the final of the FA Vase, a major non-league competition: why should this not be mentioned in the lead? The second time St Andrew's was chosen to host it, David Gold said "I am delighted that St. Andrew’s will be hosting the FA Vase final this year. It is a real honour to be staging this terrific occasion, we hosted the event two years ago and it was a great day out for everyone concerned." 
As to the proposal to build a new ground, the article says club and council are still looking for funding. But until there are concrete plans, and there are none in the public domain at the moment, the proposal does remain speculative. If and when anything definite develops, then obviously someone will change the article accordingly. If the word "speculative" is the problem, it could perhaps be rephrased as "remains at the planning stage" or suchlike. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The name of the boy killed was Ian Hambridge. Should this be included? On the one hand, there’s a right to privacy, on the other it seems a disservice to not even name him. OGBC1992 (talk) 11:19, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a commemorative plaque attached to an external wall of the ground (or was last time I looked), which I assumed was mentioned in this article and isn't. I don't think privacy would be an issue, the family campaigned for him not to be forgotten amid all the attention quite rightly paid to the Bradford fire victims, but I don't think it would be undue memorialising for his name to appear in a mention of the plaque, it'd be odd if it didn't. Give it a few days to see if anyone else has an opinion, I'm happy to add something. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:38, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
