No, it isn't, the answer is maybe if there is another significant investment and capacity is warranted/needed.
Quote mikej="mikej"The seat numbering for 2012 has been changed so that in time it can be continued into the NW corner. There has for a long time been a rumour that the SW corner will be some kind of screen/media centre but... the current expansion is increasing the capcity from 13k to 15,5k and the club have said they have plans for 18k indicating both may be filled in.'"
The south west corner will have steelwork in place for the sky screen, moving it from the south stand. I doubt the capacity will hit 15.5k when the two current corners are filled in, 15k will be pushing it. Mr Gatcliffe likes to massage and talk the figures up at any given opportunity.
Quote mikej="mikej"Emergency vehicles will not need to actually enter the stadium as long as emergency personnel can access the ground. As for continuing the concourse, why not? Its happening at the SE and NE corners. All the club needs to do is have manned doors to stop the public simply wandering round'"
Emergency vehicles do have to be able to enter the stadium, unless you can talk the safety committee out of it, as its they who set the capacity and regulations of use. The concourse cant continue all of the way around because the groundsmans store is now in the way in the south west corner having been moved from the NE corner to allow for the new build. It'll be a nice horse shoe concourse for the home fans when its completed with the turnstiles being where the bevan statue is, as well as new ticket office next to the main entrance.
