Great footage, you can see the concrete on the North side ofvtte new stand going in ready for the terracing which is due next week I think.

It will be interesting to see how they will finish the gap between the north terracing and the new East Stand. Looks to be an awkward transition.

Was thinking this myself, I think the back of the stand there is some steps on the plans but at the front/pitch side not sure

I didn't mean we should go without toilets. I just think it is better to build new ones than try to make 100 year old urinals less than despicable.

One - money!!!

Two there are no 100 year old urinals in the ground. Those on the west terrace were built 20 years ago. The pee against a wall ones behind the north east were shut down yonks ago.

the east stand clearly all new.

The only issue regarding the North stand toilets is what level we go to. I’d favour some new or good second hand modular units as we had before. The reason being that the North terrace is not a finished structure - it will be revisited at some point, so keep it basic for now.

Toilets are not an issue in my book so long as there are some.

It always was an awkward transition but at least they are on roughly the same level now but will be interesting.

Wondered about solar … but according to the plans that’s not the finished roof… there’s another layer on top???

I think you’re wrong there, I think the roof with the solar panels on is finished and the roof in front of that will be due another layer.

I think you are right. Putting a roof over the top of solar panels may, in my unqualified opinion, be counter productive.

You could be right … the plans may have changed … the drawing I referenced is below…

I know those directly behind the north terrace are closed, but last season i remember going in those right in the corner next to the Donny Road turnstiles. They were still open and are identical to the ones further along the north terrace. I would describe them as grim and thats complementary.


However its all down to money and as we both know . Although we have made a good start there is so much more that needs improving. Toilets are probably not at the top of the list right now.

Looking at the video, the roof kinda looks like the drawing but the bit with solar panels is an extra piece.

I’m not sure if we can put much faith in artists impressions, sorry the ones you have posted have little resemblance to the Architect plans submitted to Planning approval. I will accept that sometimes things don’t always go according to plan. Once the new terracing steps are in place and the, then the front roof installed over seating area, all will then be revealed, just a few more weeks before that happens.
