Excellent pics NJ. Thanks.

Even the 1901ers are going to get wet

There are going to be special state of the art heaters installed to warm the rain for 1901 members.

Thank you for my request Norman,you are a little diamond.

We have a home changing room.

But I bet even the Withdean ones have better facilities!

North Stand looks a lot drier today.

 

[SE4 GULL]

So do we know what is happening to the corners yet? Will the put terracing in now and seats in later or will it be left empty until they want to expand it?

This has always perplexed me.

Construction costs are generally higher and disproportionate when a site has to be revisited. Not to mention the upheaval caused by a further period of construction once the site has been supposedly 'finished'.

It would obviously make much more sense whilst in this phase of the stadium to at least finish the terracing but I know no more than you.

Anyone have any more knowledge?

Natterjack we need your divine knowledge!

I'm no expert but planning permission was hard enough to get with the plans we submitted. I don't think it would look very good if there were terraces ready for another 8,000 seats in the plans, the antis legal team would've had a field day.

What you say would make sense financially, but by that logic so would building a 30,000 seat stadium. They supplied plans for something they thought would get planning permission, now is the time to concentrate on filling the extra 15,000 seats rather than worrying about the corners.

The club still won't publicly admit expansion is possible, there's a good reason for that.

Didn't realise the club haven't publicly admitted the stadium is expandable. What I'm trying to figure out is what is going to happen to the corners, they won't be left as soil will they? My experience (I used to work as an architect) when putting planning applications together is that terracing the corners and leaving them without seats wouldn't impact planning permission for a 22,500 seater stadium.

I'd expect them to be terraced and then covered with vinyl advertising

On the 1901 Club vid the corners seem to be filled in with giant Club Badges. I am sure they wont be left as soil.

Here's your answer
This is the SW corner.
It's starting to look much neater already

I believe one of the corners will be left vacant for emergency access (i.e. ambulance to pitch) - this appeared on NSC somewhere else. So, it they ever get filled, one corner will remain empty.
