I still say the main stand looks weird and unbalanced, even if that makes me an ingrate. But I'm not as bad as the cheapskate on Twitter who asked for a refund on his kid's ticket when the opening night special offer was announced. Well done to Mr Ash for agreeing politely without resorting to the kind of language I would have used at such a request. It does look unbalanced, but you don't really notice it when you're there. Ultimately, I imagine the offices, etc will be incorporated in a new south stand (when we get promoted to L1!), and the main stand can then be extended to the right as well. There was a time when I doubted I'd live to see this, but who could have imagined National football, an extended main stand and the new north stand, back in 2012 - just 5 years ago?!

Lots of decent photos and info on the new stand in this weeks KM. Also how terry and bill were inspired by the stand at Weston super mare it's well worth a read. The KM came out on Thursday this week. Has it been doing this for ages and I just haven't noticed, or is something weird happening this weekend? Last week was the first time, but I think it's their new permanent issue day.

I'm so glad we didn't go down the road of putting seats behind the goal. The best grounds are the one's you stand behind the goals and you sit along the side's.

That just looks wrong - totally wrong. They're spending a fortune on their ground, but it will never look as good as ours does already - and it's only half built!

I just LOVE new stand porn! I also love the fact that it's got 1,700+ standing places - and just ONE seat!

Think I prefer our's too ..... but will it produce the estimated £20 to £40K per (52) weeks/ per year to spend on playing budgets in the way Ebbsfleets will?

Love the new stand, but personally also like what they are doing at ebbsfleet if it ends up reflecting the design drawings. Looking forward to Tuesday!

Yeah could be interesting with hotel windows overlooking the pitch. Reminds me of the main stand at London Road, with those huge plate-glass windows. You could see them flexing in the wind, but no one ever managed to break one. There was always a collective intake of breath if a stray ball went that way - and a sigh of disappointment afterwards if it struck the glass and nothing happened!

Magnificent atmosphere and magnificent views iam really looking forward to watching Tuesdays game from the Maistone Kop many thanks to our owner .Coys View Attachment Since I've had my ST, I've never bothered to rush to games, but I'll be there very early Tuesday evening! Let's just hope Sutton know their place and don't piss on the party.,...
