Says the North East corner work starts next week, with the work on the South East corner starting on the 8th August.

Disabled Parking will become the construction compound with disabled parking being allocated infront of the main stand, assuming that will be along the edge of Tesco Carpark.

Anyone think this will effect capacity or crowds until the work is complete?

It will have been well planned so that it doesn't have a significant impact on our attendences, at the end of the day the people paying through the turnstyles are our biggest form of revenue outside of the sky money.

It shouldn't impact on our attendences with it being just the corners, they can do the link work once the season is over where they join both corners so the stand is as one. They will probably do all the external work first like the foundations and steel work outside then crack on when the season is over.

With a job of this size, the preliminary works will take quite a few weeks with the steelwork not going up i guess until the season is over

Wondered why they was drilling in that corner the other week, thought it was due to start end of the season.

Is the Bevan wall being located?

I heard that there was a hotel going up in the North east corner along with the stand. Budget type-premierinn etc.

All paid for by a couple of the board members.

Is the any artist impressions about???

yeah .........

Haha

Looks good! What is the capacity going to be increased too?

15000

Not enough space. The only place for a hotel would be in Tesco's car park or in the club car park off Dallam lane

like someone has said, the new capacity will be 15000. i THINK there is also plans in place to fill the other 2 corners in if crowds continue to rise over the next few years, which will take the capacity to 18,000 i think.

I think the next stage of development after the 2 corners will be a 2nd tier of hospitality effectively in the roof of the north stand as this is where they will get the biggest returns from the investment. (or so AG has mentioned previously anyway). When this will be though I have no idea.

Hopefully sooner rather than later, but I guess it depends on success on the field bringing more people into the stadium who want corporate facilities

Shame this wasn't already done for this season, the Saints game, Wigan cup game, cup semi-final and our league game later in the year could all get 15k.

Can't wait to see this finished. Will definantly stop the place looking like an IKEA stadium. It will be class.

Indeed.

Its great when you can be proud of something and call it your own.

Odemwingie......Ben Cross.
























Oh, you kill me. The way you tried to talk your way out of it as well.
























Sorry, we don't take anything you say seriously. Just a source of amusement for us. Backtracktastic.

From a fans point of view the next stage will be to fill in the NW corner (by the shop). The final corner would be the easiest to fill but that were all the media setup shop for the big games so they aint gonna like more mortal supporters pinching their butty wagon space.

For the SW corner they could have a cool looking media centre similar to Quins

Maybe they will and then they can move the TV from the gantry and make the south stand double decker

Think before they added a tier on they would just extend the terracing back above the concourse. Presumed it was designed to be easily expanded like this - fair enough it includes the expense of removing the roof but certianly easier than adding a tier. THe south stand would be brilliant if it went further back.

Pity they didn't make the south stand the same height as the west. It looks to be about 4 steps lower.

as for the north west corner-this would be ideal for away seated fans as we saw on Saturday, they were only allocated the end block of the north.

Will only be done if it is needed though.

if you look closely at the south stand it has the potential to be made bigger at the back already, there is a space between where the terraces end and the outside wall which would fit another 1,500 without having to remove and replace the roof. next time you go just look where the wall is on the outside compared to where the terraces end. it's plainly visable from where i stand in the west stand (i often wonder what is actually in that space currently, is it a secret passage a la harry potter?)
