I hope not. That would mean Sutton are able to use it and they may put flags on it. Not if our "hooligans" get to them first en route to the game.

Very surprised at lunch time to see scaffolding steelwork and lighting contractors working on a Sunday it proves how keen everyone is on a grand opening for the visit of the well supported Lincoln on March 18th.

Assuming the stand is split into sections that are multiples of 250, with one section shut off for segregation, how many would Lincoln bring?

With the stand capacity being just under 1800, its gotta be close to 300 per section. As for how many Lincoln will bring, if their still in the title race (which is very likely) i could see them easily bringing 500-600 or more

The new stand has quite an echo when the Town End make a noise. Should be possible to create a good atmosphere.

What is left to be done? Create hardstanding area behind. Electrics. Entrances and exits. Safety certificate. Anything else? Chester.....6 days away. Southport.....20 days away. Lincoln.....34 days away. Sutton.....37 days away. Barrow.....49 days away. Any chance of being ready for Lincoln? The club must be desperate to open some or all of it in time for the visit of Lincoln. Plenty of ifs and buts, but with their fantastic win at Burnley today, Lincoln will be involved in the FA Cup on the weekend of Sat March 11th, the week before they are due at our place. No issues with that, but they're also still in the Trophy and play the next round at Boreham Wood next Saturday. If they get through that, they'll be in the Trophy semi finals, which looks like it's a 2 legged affair, the first of which is due to be played on the same weekend as the FA Cup quarter finals, ie March 11th, with the second leg scheduled for the following weekend, ie the same date that they're due at our place So it could end up being a midweek game at home to Lincoln, not ideal from a gate point of view but it allows a bit more time to get the new stand finished and approved

Wouldn't be surprised if Lincoln played a weakened team at Boreham Wood next Saturday, especially as they play Tuesday night as well. I can well imagine they wouldn't particularly want a 2 leg semi-final with the league all to play for. Could also do with Dulwich turfing Macclesfield out as we are due to play them away on 11th March, don't want a mid-week trip up there.

Looks like we could have 2 consecutive Saturday's without a game next month;
Lincoln beat Boreham Wood in the trophy today, and will play their semi final fixture on the 18th, And Macclesfield drew at Dulwich, so assuming (?) they win the replay, will play the 1st leg of their semi on the 11th, the day we're due to travel to Macc

Already mentioned elsewhere, but rejoice, after 27 pages the new stand is opening for Sutton on March 21st.
Let's make it a night to remember with a cracking attendance and even better result. Onwards and upwards.

Glad it's against Sutton.
So we got through the reduced capacity phase without any issues? I don't count 1 keyboard ninja on an Aldershot forum.
What's the new capacity?

They are closing the Stand up for the Stones fundraising soon, so it would be a good time for us to show our thanks for this wonderful new stand by putting our hands in our pockets (for those who haven't already).
