Thanks NJ, very much appreciated.

A queston if I may....... What are the sections that come out the sides of the North Stand and what are they to be used for? (woops, that appears to be 2 questions but hopefully you wont notice..!)

Store rooms under the ply roofing - walls will eventually support the next phase, so are angled to be below any future terracing.

Quite frankly, those huge gaps either side of the North Stand look daft without terracing and seats!! Come on, lets fill this stadium and then get permission for the new seats. It'll look awesome then

so it will eventually appear as the south west corner but with storage etc below?

No, South sides are different as the terrace will be 'in situ' on the slope. The North terrace extension will be have to be suspended over these walls and a gap left for vehicular access too.

Sounds confusing, I think I've confused myself - oh well, it is late on a Friday!

 

[Daffy Duck]

NJ you are a top bloke. Hope they have you as our guest of honour at the first Amex game. Maybe you could get to cut the ribbon for the official opening.

Quality snapping NJ.

Looks more and more likely that the back of the North stand is the only place to sit apart from the West Upper to avoid getting absolutely soaked in the Winter then. (All other terraces show signs of being drenched despite the roof!)

Still at least it will be like being back at Withers!

Ahhhh its all starting to make more sense... Cheers for pointing that out.

Suppose its pretty inevitable that some of the front rows will get wet still though.

Question for Natterjack (or anyone else who knows the answer):

With the possibility to expand the stadium to 30,000, with the extra tier and the corners filled in, the most difficult and lengthy aspect of this will be gaining planning permission. But in terms of actual construction work, how long will it take to add the extra 7,500 seats? Cheers!
