Capacity is around 18,500 with I think 12,000 seated. No rumours of a name and I'm sure you're correct about the naming rights. I just hope whoever gets it doesn't leave us with a dumb sounding sparkling new stadium!

Yes, well. You would!

Standing behind the sticks only, at each end. The South Stand will be the toffs stand. The super toffs will have padded seats. Although really that should probably be padded cells, but never mind!

I don't know about that but if you look on this site you will find fancy dan computer graphics of what the place is supposed to look like when finished.

There are plans on the council website, however these date back to 2009 and I can tell you that the stadium being built has a number of significant differences than that in the plans, though the overall design is fairly consistent with what we are getting.
For example a third floor mezzanine level has been constructed virtually the length of the South stand, however in the plans, we see only a small tv platform at this level.

Two weeks after the original estimate.
