Although its great to finally see people working on the new stand i was wondering if everything is going to plan and also if it will still be finished on time?
I know that most of the work is being done inside the stand at the moment but there dosnt seem to be much progress when you visit week to week.
I appriciate that most of the work is in the structure and hopefully we will soon see big changes, i for one cant wait till its finished.

Av a gander.

cant wait til the blue seats are in. having looked a miserable gray for so long makes me wonder why they didnt end up just slapping some paint over it!

Have they left the offices/corporate in the corner ?

Thats getting left, and screened off, will probaly be developed at a later date.

2060

So there'll still be a bit of an eyesore remaining? That's a bit naff. Ah well, baby steps i suppose.

If i remember rightly, they are cladding it so it wont look like it does now.

As in Jack & Vera cladding or something more modern?

Is there anything more modern than pebble dashing?? Dont think grand design will be visiting soon!

Got a feeling this has been covered before, but why the hell call an entrance a 'vomitory'??

From the site - "Making adjustments to the structural steel frame for the new pitch side terrace, banqueting rooms and vomitories (the entrance to the stadium)"

It's been called a vomitory just to remind everybody that they were sick of waiting for it to be built.

Also called vomitorium. an opening, as in a stadium or theater, permitting large numbers of people to enter or leave. Number 4 is a bit though

Its nice to see that things are progressing, but I was a little bit dissapointed that the last update was 3rd March 2009, it then went on to say what was planned for the comming month. Well March and April have gone, so it would have been nice to see what happened in March and April and what was planned for May, but then again it is a Council Website (and no better than our own

)

I never really understood why a greater effort to finish the conference centre wasn't made originally. It would've been finished for a relatively small cost but could then of generated a regular income to finish the rest of the stand.

from what remember this bit will be finished once the rest of the stand is up and running and producing rents etc. then the money will be used to finish the end bit.
