It looks great but did throw up one or two surprises!
Initial observations that someone might wish to put to the club or make via supporting comments.
I think the home disabled fans who wish to be in the East Stand are getting are bum deal. They have positioned the two disabled viewing areas right at the stand ends on the try lines. I think having them next to the two vomitories around the 20m lines, to still retain easy access (on the side towards the centre line), is a better location as they get a better view and also are part of the crowd as opposed to being slightly remote from it. On lower attendance fixtures like Catalan or London then they are going to be totally left out on a limb. Conversely away and home disabled supporters get a great deal in the centre of the North and South stands, which is very good. The main West Stand disabled viewing area are towards the ends of the stand as well, but I think layout does probably does dictate this in this stand.
Do you guys have a disabled supporter association and if so can someone pass on my comments please?
I am surprised that they have gone for an all seater 'away' North Stand just in cost terms, but this might have something to do with the concert use format that is being proposed?
I am also surprised that they seem to have done away with hospitality boxes altogether (with the exception of the TV studio on non-televised games), while I do think the banqueting model and VIP seats is a better modern option I thought that maybe 4 to 6 hospitality boxes would have been a good shout?
I will have a more detailed look later but just some quick initial thoughts for now.
