To be fair, the problem is the dugouts and players/staff stood around them. As soon as they move them back over to the East Stand the view will be a lot better. Not perfect, but better.
Agreed.
Truth is much as I'd like it sorted, for now the West terrace full re-vamp would be more a vanity project.
However were it to be the difference between a Grade A or B when the IMG proposals are firmed up then it may well become a priority.
The easiest way to sort it short term would be to buy some second hand temporary seating and run it from where the west terrace roof ends (that terrace is ok) and run it up to the turnstiles. You'd lose nothing in capacity but you get proper viewing angles and it would look way better, and it could well be enough to swing a Grade A.
North stand 3,500 approx
East 2,600
West 2,400 approx (mix of seats and standing
South 500 (approx 300 in the seats and 200 in the boxes
Thats 9,000 approx.
Unlikely to top that for now but should be enough to placate IMG.
