Wasn't there talk of a second or differnt webcam being set up?

When you view from that angle OK the end stands are obviously smaller but they still look impressive.

They are no smaller than the club end at The Willows put it that way.

Re: New Stadium Site Update Thread!!! : Thu May 05, 2011 9:17 pm  

why is the rear of the stand miles bigger than the front though!?

Just the way they build them , they use the rear as a counterweight for the roof , look at the LSV , also they were apparently putting in footings big enough to take phase 2/3 , if you'll ever need them

Anyway it should be ready in twelve months

Looks pretty good to be honest, will be much better than HJ and LSV cheap options, they just look like lego grounds.

I wouldn't worry about the size of the ends behind the goals, probably the same size as your current away terrace but made to look small because that main stand is pretty huge, looks about the same size as our west stand. Very impressive. Can't wait for my first visit. Will be a great atmosphere in the away end behind the goals I reckon.

I usually hope for a huge home game to start off with for the fixtures but next season I hope our first game is Salford away!

The phase 3 drawings show and second tier of seating above the existing standing section. But for this the depth of those end stands would be about half what is seen in the Walshy's photo.
