The North Stand concourse was wet for about 20 yards in from the West stand during the training night, also seating was wet in the West corner of the North stand. Both ends of the North stand will get wet without cladding make no mistake about that. why the U turn, would love to hear the reason.

On a slightly different topic, I asked about being able to wonder round the ground as at the open day. eg a West stander could go and have a chat with a north stander at half time.

This is off the menu for safety regulations. I remember something along the lines of crowd zoning being mentioned, Specific areas having safe capacities and if they allow people free wander then an area may get overpopulated.

So if your in the North stand you stay in the North stand.

Interestingly though the West stand has a shared entrance with the South stand. So looks like South and West will be allowed to mingle as presumably this is classed as a single spectator zone.

Maybe they meant the North would not be clad to the top as the plans clearly show it isn't.

No Mr Big was very clear on the fact that the North was not being clad, only doing both ends, and that they wont be done to the top. Reason both ends being done is that they are the ones most exposed to the weather.

Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield; weather protection is vastly overrated.

Does anybody with a historical knowledge of the scheme know how the completed design compares with planning submission?

people will be thankful of those airy bars when the temperature is in the mid 20s in the middle of summer.

In the whole of last season there was just one match when I would have been grateful for airy bars! It was the coldest summer in years. If only we could know that during the summer we would have 20 plus degree warmth!

But summer fell on a Thursday last year.

design fault, I rest my case.

geez are you still going on
