Well as those seats are exactly the same as the rest of the stand,with same access then it will make no difference to any contractor, nor will the ability if they decided to make some of or the whole stand safe standing. None of that makes the slightest difference as to whether the club decide to make them more expensive and give fans a wrist band for a seperate bar.
Design and price what ? The seats or safe standing spaces are the same as the rest of the stand? Will they have asked for designs and prices to do the whole stand ,of course. What has that to do with how they price and what add ons they give or don't give to fans in those spaces.There is nothing in the design of the stand,or the planning that requires any decision to be made on those 700 seats to have been made now.
The seats aren't exactly the same at all. you do realise there are thousands of drawings which have never been released to anyone but the contractors don't you?
Yet the design and drawings issued show a distinct difference in those areas. Contractors don't ask for drawings they price what they are given by the designer / club. The designer designs to the brief the club give them, so its clear that's what the club currently wants.
So how are these seats that the contractors have seen,but nobody else has,different. What's special about these seats?
They are padded, not plastic like the rest of the stand.
And that takes designing and pricing by a contractor does it? Will make minimal difference to price of doing the whole stand.Changing them if they are even still part of the plans would be the easiest thing in the world.Back to my point though the club haven't said what's happening, and even if we have asked for prices, which I'd expect we'd know anyway as we've bought them before doesn't mean it's been decided. I suspect it hasn't
Seriously? With all due respect your post shows a serious lack of understanding of how Design and build works.
So when the plans say it allows for safe standing you don't thing we'd have designs and costings for that too . A decision between which seats are used or rail seating cou;ld be costed now for a decision to be made at a later point as there is no impact on the build. A decision may well have beed made now I don't know, but couple of options for decision later could just as easily be open at theis stage. Doubt any of us know eithere way,as types of seats are nothing to do with planning .
One of our OSC members looks after box members on matchday. Apparently, we are selling 3500 corporate packages in the lounges, but also off site packages at Vermillion, Gaucho, Pep's place and 1 other. Therefore, it seems likely there will be a decent corporate hospitality offering in the new stand.
Again you are showing a lack of understanding of how the processes work. The contractor will price what they've been asked to. The order will be paced on a set of drawing and spec which clearly detail what is required. If the club want to change this when in contract to safe standing or all padded seats or all plastic seats they will issue a request for quotation where they will issue new drawings showing the intended change. The contractor will then price that change and will only action that change if the club instruct it.
And we don't know what the club has instructed, or whether they are planning to change that, or whether in a few months they may decide to change that, at what would be minimal inconvenience or cost.Nowhere have the club said what will happen, my original point. Unless you can show where they have ?
I'm involved in the project the current plan is for a Hospitality light area as i've stated many times.
