Fair play. How about putting the pics of the new stand under construction on your official website?

ya, drove up the dyke road this evening and was very happy to see all the metal framing of the new stand showing over the boundary walls.

Where is your new stand bveing constructed?? Is it directly across from the main stand or behind the goals??

ya. only the floodlights in each corner will remain. the ones infront of the stands will be taken down after the construction of the new stand is finished.

excellent - clear views at last

The two sets of floodlights in front of the new stand will be placed on the roof of the new stand, the end ones will remain. There will be a new TV gantry built quite soon on the current stand.

When is the stand expected to be open. What is the first league game where we will be able to use it

**gufct** · 14/05/2007, 1:54 PM

the official opening is the day before the Sunderland Game.

Where exactly is the stand ? Is it only covering a small part of the Ground or is there more stand to follow so it stretches to the end ?

**corbyeire** · 14/05/2007, 2:24 PM

i think its is going to be just in the central third/half for starters - it can then be extended on either end to the full length of the pitch as necessary

opposite the existing stand. i personally thought it was going to run most of the length of the pitch but maybe it's not

**corbyeire** · 14/05/2007, 4:10 PM

even on the sunderland tickets - the ground map shows the new stand being smaller and shorter than the old stand

i know from the design of the stand that blocks can be added
