Interesting that the 2nd image seems to have rail seating in it. Hoping there's something in that.

The approvals cover both. Always have.

The restricted view doesn’t look great!

It’s only the stands that are restricted in that pitch. No part of the pitch is restricted but I guess they’re only mock ups.
Didn't mean for that to sound abrupt btw.
The infrastructure, the spacing, and the approval is there. We have seen how quickly clubs can swap to standing rails, it can happen at any time in an off season. It could even happen next off-season ahead of it opening, if the club wanted to.
I know people will argue changes cost money and if the club priced for seats they might not want to undo that. Of course they would.
We have just seen three far more significant changes happen during construction, that will have more noticeable of a cost (and programme) impact than swapping seat to rails. Three voids introduced to the floorplates of the commercial buildings, louverers swapped to perforrated panels and the whole hotel facade re-aligned. If they can accommodate those changes, they can do seats for rails too, if they decide to.

Wow. Get your point but is that accurate?

I'm assuming it'll be completed in time for next weekend. A few cans of emulsion and a bunch of rollers, and it'll be good to go, yeah?
