Regarding the East Stand, in any other situation you'd have a rounded analysis that, alongside finishing the structure, included:
1. Boxing it off, making safe and sitting on the land values for a time of uplift. 2. Demolition or part demolition and rebuild
There appears to have been no public discussion of those 2 options. The increase in capacity since Cardoza wrecked what was a good little stand is c200 seats. Cardoza's plans were never of great value to the football club so it makes sense to be cautious about a panic to finish the job.
The East Stand was designed with a simple, modular build and for it to go back another tier to mirror the West Stand in capacity.
Some questions remain.
What is now stopping the club from dealing with the East Stand situation? They have indicated they have funds. Are the club's stadium plans completely separate from or contingent to monies from other development?
Has the memorandum of understanding been kept to with the Council and are the Council still in a position to develop the wider land themselves to claw back the missing millions?
What, if any, claims do Buckinghams still have over the project?
Will any works to the stadium be sufficiently future-proofed in terms of facilities and capacity to make them worthwhile?
Again, if there was a stronger local press there could be healthier discussion. Thomas now mainly provides snippets of updates via in-house videos.
