what about when the north is redeveloped? the north west corners isn't going to be left alone, I'd guess and the north would maybe stretch (with a roof to cover that area)

I think it will be left the longest I suspect.

If the north is done it will be to the steps at best. If the west is done it will go as far as the touch line/bar area. The west corner will likely remain for some time.

There is some ideal space in that bottom south west corner to add a facility of reasonable size. I would imagine when the west is redeveloped it will have a 2 floor building on the south west corner that will be utilised for a player development facility.

That said, if Ellis has bought the bathroom place next to car park then that could become a training/development facility also if you get rid of the pavement between car park and that building, close off the car park road entrance. Level what’s there and you can build a facility twice the size as you can then utilise the large car park for visitors outside match day.

There are numerous options. I’m sure Ellis will have a PM and all these will be considered using the correct tools.

I would agree that it is pretty hopeless to see the clock unless you are in the East stand but I think it's primary purpose is to be seen from wherever the official timekeeper is located, presumably the East Stand. It also has to be visible to the referee and presumably can't be replicated except through Sky.

As all SL games are televised, we just need to see the main screen.

How times have change , seems only a short time ago we were all on tenterhooks wondering if we’d actually survive as a club ,fast forwards and were now moaning we can’t get a good view of the big screen . Solution get yer hand in yer pockets n get in the east stand , perfect view of the big screen , simple

No roof and struts in the way

We have to remember that next year it wont just be about the screen being used as a scoreboard, we will all want to watch when the video ref goes to the screen.

Surely if they are to utilise the north stand to its full potential at some point won’t that require the roofline to be lifted to access the space at the rear ,which hopefully will give fans a better view of the screen to a point

Exactly or a new roof altogether which would probably be not too much more than moving and extending etc (maybe even cheaper!).

If we are looking to seriously increase attendence then the north is the obvious choice. You could squeeze 2k more if a proper job was done all way to the rear. As you say the screen then would be visible mostly

There’s a knock on effect for everything which is why it will be project managed properly and the correct decisions made I’m sure from Ellis and family.

There are plans afoot for large parts of the stadium ,both inside and out to be redeveloped, let’s not forget about the kitchen/bed shop on donny rd , that is going to blow you away when it’s redeveloped . We are very very lucky to have a family that are mad passionate about our club ,and will stop at nothing ,and have the financial clout to realise those ambitions that will drive this club to the next level ,and beyond anything we could ever have envisaged or hoped for .

I’ve just watched the full video of Sunday’s game and noticed something that I didn’t at the game.
If you look closely at the ground floor of the South End boxes immediately behind the goal posts, there seems to be a structure attached to the front of the stand, Has anyone else noticed this or know what it is?

It's a spitoon for those in the hospitality boxes above
