No we don't.

The amendment is not permanent.

Steeper terracing has been put in and the platform lost.

It doesn’t say that anywhere - shows me where it says any of that on the amendment. Apart from some very minor amends it’s exactly the same as the plans that were passed last November.

What is your problem, why the need to create huge issues out of nothing.

Also, the first row of the new terrace section is raised over half a metre higher than the previous iteration, massively improving the viewing.

Further, the new layout is a steel based terrace, rather than a concrete overlay.

I imagine it will be semi-permanent and can be repurposed elsewhere in the ground, should finances change the stadium progression.

He's probably off to the Algarve to play golf for the 4th or 5th time this year and wants to cause a bit of mischief before he goes.

It’s like people want to be disappointed and are just looking for the most petty things.

If I were JM or MC I’d tell Trinity fans to do one and leave, and allow them to wallow in the self pity they so obviously enjoy.

Better still let’s all vote for Scarlett to take over.

Don’t panic everyone he won’t take over because nobodies found the rock he lives under.

What you mean someone’s come up with a better solution rather than a cheaper one. This cannot be as all these professionals are incompetent crooks so that can’t be right.

You can tell immediately that the moaners haven't even looked at the planning portal to see the changes in the plans.

I have the old and the revised doc open in front of me - people should try it!

The kiosk platform has been lost.

I'm sure it can be added in when finances allow.

No, the terracing overall area has been lost. Its harder to calculate because as you say the new terrace has a steeper slope and the original kept the original profile and was laid on top. Plus looking at the plan, the original retail facility would be right at the rear of the stand. If it was replicated on this present scheme , it would be much lower down.

Look we will disagree on the size of this down grade , but my worry is that this will not be the last.

Re: All Things New Stadium : Tue Aug 23, 2022 7:41 pm  

We've gone from 22, low angle steps, to 16 steeper steps, with, as mentioned, a starting point .6m higher than previous.

We have lost the platform. Currently - it can be added later.

The loss of 6 steps of terrace will undoubtedly reduce it's capacity.

However, the viewing will be considerably better!
