Can't go into to details as it's not my Baby, but it brought a smile to my face.
I'm sure the said person will post details as and when they see fit.
Well done and good luck! :-)

Apologies.
Can't go into details.
But if it happens, and I hope it will, it could be a major step in the right direction.

I suspect the club also need time to convert City Square to a pair of linked City Polygon(s) as well, to clear the space for the North Stand dig.
It's what Swales would have done ;-)1.618034 said:DiscoSteve said:Since the announcement they were starting only with the South Stand it has and will continue to be my view that they'll run the North Stand one year behind - this gives you continuity of work across the ends for the various stages without breaks (service diversions, back wall break in, supporting frame, 3rd tier seats build out, new roof etc) - everything happens one behind the other South Stand first then trot around to the other side for the North Stand - and you don't need double the men/plant to do it.

That makes sense to me.
Doing it all at once or leaving a gap between constructions seems like an inefficient way of going about it.

True! And he'd get his plans wrong and demolish the second tier to give us a 38,000 capacity instead. He liked making stands at the south of the stadium smaller.

Poor Mr Swales, Bless him!
Continually tried, continually failed. Resilient was he.
