Popped into the public exhibition before the match.

The new render of the South Stand has been added.

Took some pictures.

It gives some more basic detail of the back/corners of the South Stand stand and how it will configure/link with the Collin Bell and East Stand.

Anyone fancy sitting in the two rows under the scoreboard? :lol:

The planning application should be submitted at the end of the Month all being well.

Should finally put some meat on the bones of this one.

It's safe to say the home and away fans won't be so close. :nuts:

Click twice to enlarge.

Went to see the exhibition myself yesterday and was told there are plans to add rows at bottom of level1 on the 2 sides. Not sure how this would be done without digging down, but from this pic you can see it shown.


I'm not too sure just how exact this mock-up is supposed to be and how the final design will compare to this, because whoever drew this seems to think football is a game played between two teams of thirteen players!!! How hard is it to get basic facts right?! I'm guessing there would also be some debatable offside decisions with two linesmen in one half but none in the other!

I don't remember you slighting me at all mate so no problem here.

Certain other regular posters on here are now hopefully realising that what I have posted is true and it is now slowly coming out into the public domain. Remember that the initial expansion wasn't going to happen for 10 - 15 years according to some! :)

Next up the Collar site!

Can you give any sort of time frames regarding the collar site

I heard 10-15 years from someone ITK... ;)
I understand the collar site is planned to be fully completed by 2030.

It was Alistair Macintosh the then chief-exec who categorically said stadium couldn't be expanded, stadium was designed to hold 48k and no more.
Mackintosh used to talk a lot of shit like that. He used to say our debt was manageable when we couldn't even pay the interest out of profits, let alone the capital.

Just as an aside mate,heard any good news yet about our year end finances ??
 
It's happening.

Did anyone else see it tonight?

Got stopped by 2 G4S security guards :-) asking me why I was taking a picture of the cable supports opposite the South Stand, which are now behind large metal(?) hoardings.(picture to follow tomorrow) Made me miss the 1st goal. :-(

See what mate?
 
So what are the big green hoardings all about then? They were round the 2 main roof supports at the North and South ends of the ground.

What exactly is going on there as no planning permission has been given? Exploratory work?
 
Saw this at the North Stand end - looked to me like they were just there to stop anyone climbing up. Came to mind about the game when someone dropped a banner from the roof of the main stand somewhere in a CL game the other week
