No they don't. In the past the club has asked to place seating at the front of the flats. It was rejected for fear of falling objects. Silly arguments when you look at how many overlapping 2 and 3 tier stands there are. Maybe new planning people at WMDC are more reasonable.

I think the seating should be kept if possible, gives a great option for away fans who may wish to be at the end even if it's only sitting. Will also look way better on TV.

I'll take your word for the access part but I agree with dboy too. If it stays it should be home supporters I'd it's in front of the flats.

I guess the point about the drinks is that it's a straight drop from the top. That will kill someone.

I was assuming that would move to the new stand. You seem very attached.

I'm not bothered who uses it so in that case it's all yours.

Yes it could but that surely applies to most modern stands where the second and third tiers are often 30 - 40 feet above the seats directly below.

I know in Italy they use what looks like netting that protects those below from most objects I can imagine other than say an office desk. I'm guessing that's what we are using or we are shutting the boxes.

I suppose we will see on Sunday.

Tragic really that the only thing I have any real interest in the weekend is what the builders have done so far

To be fair there is a good chance I will try the new stand out anyway...

The further away from the boxes the new stand is the lower it must be or you impede the view from the bar. It is also restricted at the sides because of access to the changing rooms and for the emergency services.

The problem with netting is that it’s quite a porous structure and do football clubs allow drinks to be consumed in the stands.

I'm purely talking about seating, not a stand with a roof.

Thats exactly what I was hoping for.

How much better does that look!!! I can't see any reason why we can't retain that. It can't cost a fortune and basically you have a proper end with extra seating.

Think I’m going to relocate from North stand to new East Stand when completed.
