The drone footage does show just how little a percentage of the N Stand Terracing was upgraded, looks to be around 30% of it.
I’ve said before that I’d love the whole terrace done with a matching roof to the E Stand.
I wonder if there’d be any mileage in removing the N Stand roof and repurposing it as a temporary fix along the West Stand

It’s kind of sad and dissapointing we ended up with that small section upgraded and so much wasted space. You could easily get at least another 1000-1500 up there.

If I recall correctly it got scaled back a few times. Was supposed to have cladding, platform and refreshments at the back too.

Had it covered more of the old terrace it could have been much better.

I was down at the north-western corner of the ground this afternoon and I can confirm that this area appears to be fully included in the re-terracing as per the front of the north stand. The corner also includes those plastic pipes whatever they are for.
the south terrace metal railings have been removed and excavations have started along that side to accommodate the LED advertising.

Great to see this being done in the south but I can't understand how they'll get the height without blocking the view from the first floor of the flats.

400mm depth of the terrace wont interfere with the viewing angles from the ground/first floor suite... some wont like the angle of the terrace but I quite like the intimacy that this gives with the playing area... (I already said that the west terrace was a preferred spot for me back in the day particularly watching reserve grade on wintery nights)

and I assume that this will be steel construction and therefore classed as a temporary structure.

The steps are 400mm in depth - that's front to back of each step.

The terrace will be just short of 3m front to back.

No details of the height of the terrace have been given.

Allowing for 150mm risers, it's roughly 1.4m high.

On the other side, the LED screen supports are now in.

That video doesn't make it look great does it. I was in the North Stand for a game a while back and the back of it did look poor but that video makes it look worse.

It was an awful compromise, even though the view from the back of the NS is great and so much better than before. If the roof gets lifted the remainder of the space can be utilised,which would really finish that end off.

Little other choice but yes it’s such a waste. Probably limits the club to extending what’s there now. When it was open it looked better than it does now.

I would have loved to have a detailed scan through all costings for the project as whole against the projected costings along with justification for the changes evidenced by invoicing and pricing index’s for the respective materials and industry. I find things like that quite interesting and exciting getting into the detail.

Can't believe they didn't run it all past you.

Unbelievable isn’t it.

If I was you, I'd make an official complaint.

You are looking at it through Matt's eyes.

We didn't have that kind of money when we did the North Stand and had to prioritise.

It's exactly what it is, additions to a 100+ year old structure separated by years in between. If the money had been there all at once a full demo and rebuild would've happened or at the very least some futureproofing would have been built in. Much more difficult to retrofit around what there is now, but not impossible.

You’ve lost me. Why would I complain, I don’t doubt all parties strived to achieve the best they were able. I have been involved in projects (not construction) on occasion and like getting into the details. It’s something I’m enthusiastic about but most I'm sure would see it as as quite sad

Obviously.....


It was a joke...


And [iobviously[/i it was as bad as one of FIL's - so apologies

Oyy.....don't bring me into it...I've been behaving myself lately (don't want to end up on the naughty list)

I’ll have to pay more attention to FILs posts if they’re notorious for jokes.

All good. I am aren’t quite as stubborn as I am combative

has there been any news on the planning application for the west terrace? i.e. Has a date been set for the planning meeting?

Still in consultation, will likely be March.
