One, it's the least possible bit to develop. Two, it's the least important. area of the stadium Three, it will be when money permits.

It's nothing to do with looks, we need a modern main stand with full facilities, The only place for that is the East stand, where there is room for the stand and some parking.

Also, you don't think the East stand is an eyesore, especially the bit facing the passing public on Doncaster Road?

So yes, it's just you

the concrete was in fair better condition on most of the west stand which allowed us to drill and anchor the brackets that was attached to the barriers without doing any remedial work to the base but infront of the covered area it had to have the barriers broke out and concete pour in to give it a better foundation as did all the ones along the east stand, the barriers was then linked to increase numbers on that side, the north stand would of been a nightmare to do and only a few got a make over, as the capacity was at 11k before the work it was deemed it would never be that on most games so a reduced capacity was given

I’m pretty sure some of the terracing on the west side is not all that old. Certainly the southerly bit.

The North stand terracing hasn’t been touched in at least 30 year apart from some hole filling. Though I believe the foundations have had work done to them.

Maybe the East stand development will be constructed further back from the pitch allowing more room in the future to develop the Western Terrace.

Sorry to sound like the self-appointed expert but to do that you'd have to move a floodlight pylon and you'd hit the Rollin shack after about 8 feet, just not worth it when the money could be spent elsewhere.

All the west terrace requires IMHO is better re-profiled terracing and a new outer wall and later a basic roof. I suspect the west terrace will always be for away fans from now on, so basic and functional will do.

That would be massively expensive.
Not a bad idea but I don't think we'll be able to do that.

That would ‘do’ for the west terrace FC . I wasn’t suggesting the new stand should be there . Just wondered why nothing had been suggested for an improvement there.

New lights are quoted in the plans

Floodlights are coming out anyway - unless the suggestion is to "re-lamp" the existing towers???

A Q for tomorrow...

That just means they're sending Connor down to Screwfix to buy some LED bulbs !!!

Western terrace is a bigger footprint than it looks. Pitch doesn’t need moving. Ideally we’d replace Benidorm flats with a stand for away fans and western stand with media facilities for home fans.

Boxes are getting a thing of the past, most new corporate facilities don’t seem to have separate boxes anymore.
