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! Yep! 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? Conservative revenue projections, given the demand for quality hotel accommodation on that part of the Riviera.

What I can't quite see is, if that drawing is fairly accurate and the terracing only goes up to around the height of the goal, how they intend to achieve their stated capacity of 1,750? Our stand has the same capacity and is far higher. I know ours doesn't cover the full width of the pitch and theirs will but it still seems unlikely to me that they can get that many in unless the terracing is higher.

The ground was open with hardly anyone around so I thought I have a look from the top of the new stand. My first thought was how very steep it was , so no matter how tall you are your views will be amazing. Also there is that echo sound which iam sure will create loads of noise. It's the sheer size of it that you can't see from the photos with 23 deep steps iam sure the capacity will be higher then stated. Then I got told to get out by one of the builders before I could take any photos. For me it's a fantastic safe stand for all the family .Coys

What seems really odd about that is that it looks like anyone staying in the hotel gets to watch the football for free from their bedroom window. Also difficult to see how they can enforce the ban on alcohol within sight of the pitch. From a spectator point of view, the overhanging roof is so high as to be virtually useless in keeping off the rain, similar to the new stand. The whole thing seems to have been very badly thought out, and the club has sacrificed the comfort of their supporters in the interests of making money.

Some respectable comments fair play to them.

Just watched the periscope broadcast, it looks really nice and the floodlit picture above looks fantastic. Have obviously stood on metal terracing before but don't ever remember standing on a high rise one, is that a first for this country? Is there going to be a migration from the town end now I wonder, especially if the acoustics are good. See you all there tomorrow, can't wait.

Will the stand act as a faraday cage during a thunderstorm/lightening strike?

Just seen the video on twitter taken by a drone over the Gallagher, very impressive, and didn't realise the main building and stand roofs were covered in solar panels

View AttachmentI wonder if the townenders will change ends at half time now? I hope not. It's nice being up the quiet Springfield End listening to Headstone talk about things the rest of us don't understand and Tim chatting on about things the rest of us don't care to understand.
