Present
In the 2010/2011 season many aspects of the stadium were upgraded including adding a new temporary south stand, refurbished bar/restaurant and a new café bistro which replaced the old cherry tree pub. These works include lettering on the exterior of the stadium to promote the venue and Black Label events. Other works carried out were the installation of a "cherry brick road" where fans bought personalized bricks and the landscaping of the area outside the main stand and also the re-surfacing and landscaping of the car park. Several items were also included in the refurbishment of the ground including works to the club store and a new fashion store adjacent to it called ENZI. The club also opened a new gym in the east stand area of the ground which is used by players and the general public. Several miscellaneous items were added such as the large poster on the side of the north stand thanking people for their support and also a corporate brick wall in the main stand. In 2011/2012 the temporary south stand was axed due to lowering attendances however new plans were unveiled for a new official south stand to be built as well as training pitches and a spa hotel. Work is now under way on the new training pitches. The stadium now houses Hot Radio (formerly The Bay 102.8) which is being used as the clubs official radio station.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“The present age ... prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, fancy to reality, the appearance to the essence ... for in these days illusion only is sacred, truth profane.”
—Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872)
“... it is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self—never to be fully possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardour of a passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous and dim-sighted.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
