Time running out. ..

For a positive decision on expansion?

 

Looks more likely that this won't get done this season!

Not really surprised. The discussions with the architect have been quite protracted which could imply it's not as straightforward as originally implied.

See today's Advertiser on this subject. Sounds very positive to me.

Advertiser says Tony Stewart had a 4 hour meeting with the architects on Wednesday and reported good progress to increase the number of seats and enlarge the hospitality areas. More details are awaited on costings and a programme of work. An initial increase to 16000 is the favoured option by either adding a tier on top of each stand (presumably North and South) but there is a Plan B which involves using the existing structure to build a tier inside which seems to be more cost effective.
Development of the Family Stand is also on the agenda with the eventual aim of taking the capacity up to 20000.
Planning issues and protocols have to be sorted out but, if the programme fits and doesn't cause disruption, the aim would be to undertake the work in the season.
Hope this helps.

Ta.

A tier inside?

No idea what that means.

 I thought the tier inside thing sounded a bit odd as well but that's exactly what it says in the Advertiser.  I can only think it means adding more rows of seats above the existing ones by building outwards, maybe as a cantilever arrangement.

Or it could imply an athletic shape arrangement suspended high above the pitch with glass bottom, that along with Morgs departure goes in line with an expectation of losing the long ball game next season? Dunno what they'll do about Arni's shooting though?, maybe ban him altogether :)

Can't wait to see the plans for the proposed tiers. I hope it's not just an extra row of seats running from the players' dugouts and then all the way around the inside of the low perimeter wall.

Maybe it's a glass roof with suspended seats. I'd buy one of them. It would be like playing sensible soccer in the 1990s.

The suspense is fast becoming too much to handle. Even Alfred Hitch**** never dreamt of anything like this.

Personally I would like to see a cantilever stand above whats there now.

Due to costs it will be cheaper to add four rows of seats behind the original seating areas.
