Article in the Champion today about the Shed, great photo of it in the title decider against Shams in 1977. People on the roof and everything, I kid you not!
im annoyed that it has been knnocked down and then the devolpment thats gonna be taking pace will now be at the railway end though..
what was wrong with leaving it up?
i guess they felt it was unsightly and potentially a hazard?
maybe.. maybe...
i hope its replacement will be terraced though
i think days of terracing are gone. u need to look to get to an all seater at some stage. replacing with a seated stand would be the job. then just call the new stand 'The Shed' ala what chelsea did
said in other post just there dat shed was knocked due to asbestos.
all seater = no atmosphere...
can we not do this...SIMILAR TO OTHER PROJECTS
build the shed new but with terracing..
and then if we get in to europe put in permanent seats..
it can easily be done over 5 months
I know you are only relaying what you read Nutrino but I would query the asbestos thing.
The Shed had a corregated iron roof with wood beams and plaster/cement walls (with lovely white flaky paint).
I cannot see where the asbestos may be in situ.
I haven't got a clue what asbestos is nor its purpose, apart from it being pretty evil sh*t, but the word is it was in the roof...

Asbestos is a noncombustible fibre used primarily in the 70's and 80's in construction as a fire retardent and insulation material.
The problem arises when you try to break up the fibre, small particles (dust in effect) that result from the breaking up of the fibre are the particles that people inhale and can lead to lung problems including breathing difficulties and and lung cancer in later life.
As such material was usually placed in a roof cavity or void (similar to modern day insulation) I dont think the Shed could have had same in situ.
Yea why would they want to insulate it? I doubt that was high on the agenda when they were designing it.

i know its terrible the shed is gone but on the atmosphere point really what atmosphere? the shed heads did do some singing but they get drowned out very easily. would all the "true fans" not be better off in the lovely new stand and make the most of the biggest area on the grounds?
It they roofed a section of the railway end, could make it into the new shed. Better view of pitch from the railway end it raised higher.

Its the Shed end for the new stand and gym but you will probably be looking at mountains of muck for awhile yet. The old entrance has been knocked so the new turnstiles and gate should hopefully be finished soon.
the railway end, thats what was said at the meeting
Its the shed end that'll be developed. They said the building will over look the pitch and the astro turf pitch.
