I reckon they can’t knock the main stand down until the next round of IMG scores.(October 2024) they would lose the points from the main stand.
The the other seats, lighting etc will be done at the end of the 2024 season to maximise their grades but if they have planning permission by then… then much of it is likely to be pulled down shortly afterwards because they will want to start on the stadium.which is why they are likely to spend the Bare minimum on anything they bodge up.
Hiring seats would be cheaper than having to put seating in.
Their build isn't even properly funded due to the Environment Agencies objection and the cost of meeting their demands.
The earliest planning permission could go in is January, it seems, and we all know how that process isn't straight forward.
Then the time taken to get contracts in place etc...then timing builds to have the least affect on the on-going business...
Cas won't be scoring improved IMG stadium points for at least 3 years.
