South West Corner

Complete panels missing with large holes onto the concourse

I can't see the price of scrap metal being a factor, looks very flimsy to me.

Depending on when that was taken there were some seats in the mddle of the south stand removed to make an easier access route to the pitch for standing (happens for all concerts)

and more roof too!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but will the work affect the attendance next season. If not, how are they going to do the work and still keep the stand usable?

Yes it's been asked before, no it won't a few seat affected but not many. The majority of the construction is external around the current structure with the two close seasons used to do the internal work During next close season the current roof is removed Check back in this tread for the schedule of work and the OS for a video of the planned work

I think it will a bit - we know the very back row of the south stand has become "unavailable"
And certain end of row seats in the first tier
And the front row in certain parts of the stadium

I can see us being 1,000 seats down to be honest....
