Just a thought...

We usually give extra seating for some teams in the east stand, what's the situation going to be now? Surely we wouldn't sit away fans in the best stand in the ground. It could be hard to sit them in the West with the concourse being there, security issues. Does this mean that we could only allocate what's in the South stand and never give any more away?

The East is having a concourse too isn't it? So the same problem would now arise there...unless there was something like a roller shutter built in to partition off part of the concourse. I haven't been able to open the plans to look at them but the directors box is moving to the East so does that mean the end of the comfy seats in the west or will they be available to the minions now? Also, is the press box staying in the West? I thought there was talk of "improving" the West as part of this development.....it just seems like only the East is being done, therefore improvement to the other three stands will be a long way off.

Maybe they could use a bit of the windfall to build a 3000 safe standing terrace behind the North stand, that would complete the ground off nicely, in preparation of our assault on the championship.


Move the home end to the south stand (the hotel end), and make that the terracing  Tongue

Looks like they have photo shopped the West stand. Looks good though and hopefully the beginning of a brighter future on and off the pitch.

It only goes 2/3rds of the length with a new score board and a bowling club behind it?

Dunno if it has been mentioned but the West stand is going to refurbished with a new fascia, Carr's Bar and changing rooms enlarged, new box office and shop, staff + player canteen, new seats...

Would prefer to have the boxes centred, but hey what do I know....  Wink

Maybe there should be a row of additional floodlights along the roof edge. The picture shows big pa speakers. This is so we can hear crap music and blabbering drivel more clearly without added tinnitus!

 I may relocate. Who's with me?

Report on BBC website says that the new stand will hold 2000, instead of the current 1,700. So how does that increase capacity to 10,000?!

That was just the confusing bit with how the initial plan was worded. It is actually +2000 on top of the current capacity, plus a couple of hundred in the private boxes. Probably capacity will be around the 10,059 mark.

Typical, you build a new stand and no-one turns up. Maybe it's because it's a nice sunny day and everyone's at the seaside. Be dark by the time they all get home.  Embarrassed

Time to slag me off ladies and gents.

What a boring and uninspiring design that is. I guess I should have seen that coming with my old buddy Mr Cardoza in charge and what I've grown used to when it comes to anything NTFC, uninspiring.

As you were.

I've just seen the details of the development and it offers the football and commercial community quality facilities equating to a Championship sized club. It is pleasing to see the upgrade of the west stand included as well.
Very well done to Mr Cardoza in overcoming all his off-field battles to get to this stage. I look forward to seeing the results in less than 12 months.
Now let's get the first team players fit and scoring goals so we start climbing the league (s)!!!!!
