Fantastic the benefits of prefabricated construction. It is very impressive - nothing appears to happen for weeks, then up it pops! Makes you wonder why they can't get on with it and finish the rest of the stadium. I can't imagine what's holding them up... All the time and money goes in to the work underground that no one see's. Metres and metres of concrete. Strong conkers bout £85 a cube + re-bar, steel fixers, labour, excavators, land drainage, h&s, engineers, list goes on. To average Joe it all looks as you said. As this all goes on the steel structure is made else where and then whipped up like mecano. Another on topic posted. Ffs.

With the terrace being metal i can see it being a bit of a death trap when it rains....quite steep slippery steps + booze = quite a few people falling over! heck even without being half cut i could see people falling over Pretty sure that will all be sorted in fact I know it will be, otherwise it would never have been allowed to be built

It's definitely starting to look impressive. Even better if we eventually get the same at the town end. I can see the townend being a seated stand if its ever developed For entry to the Football league you need between 1000-1500 seats, with plans to have at least 2000 within a couple of seasons. We currently have 800 plus, so unless we put a decent sized (1200) seated stand along the riverside....any stand at the town end will have to be seated If I remember correctly the design for the town end was a two tier stand with the lower tier standing and the upper tier seated. Not sure where those drawings are now. I can't find them online anywhere.

Yeah it was, but back then the plan for the springfield end was a 900 seater stand with terracing in-front.....so obviously things have changed. I saved this before it was all removed off the council website

the development plans look impressive enough, BUT I'm pretty sure that the Oliver and Terry have said that the next stage of major improvement (after the current work) would be on the river side terrace and not the town end anyhow, it's a bit futuristic and iffy as we are told that improvement on this scale will need new investment plus an expectation of entry to the football league I get the impression that our owners are probably very close to their limits in terms of the funds they can sink into the club as I say these plans from the Council website don't quite marry up with my memory of previous statements from Oliver and Terry although I admit, I could be completely wrong

This was drawn up as a model of expansion at the time. Although its been mentioned by Terry on several occasions the order of developments has changed The east stand extension was supposed to come after the north stand. Terry has also suggested the riverside is likely to be the next phase, when and if needed

This won't happen for at least 3 years so not really bothered.

If they use him as a support in the far corner he could be the North West Stanchion.
