Correct, they won't leave a drop

From the latest terracing plans it looks like all the rows have been added. The only thing left to add is steps that go down to a walkway at playing level

That’s what I meant by a mush mash. There will be seats and bits and bobs but not as part of the mains searing. It’s hard to explain as these things are but it will look eight in the end with no huge drop.

I’m told the stand is identical to Salfords main stand minus a second level of boxes, so however that is.

Just curious but are we having the side panels for the stand?

They were initially on plans I believe but I seem to remember something about them not being installed due to cost cutting or view. Can’t quite remember.

The Rain Screens have been omitted due to cost cutting, it’s a shame really, it will get some bad publicity once the away fans sat at the end start getting wet. I’ve opted for mid stand seats halfway up, hopefully, should keep me dry.

That’s such a shame we’ve had to cut back on that as well as all the cut backs on the north stand too.

Can they be added retrospectively?

I'm sure they can.

I think Carter commented that it was just a priority call on resources.
He said the number of days when a game is on and its raining so hard it comes in the side will be quite small so prioritised other stuff when the costs went up.

I don't think anything is off the table. It's just when Trinity have those kind of funds available again.

I’d have thought so but somehow you can’t imagine it will happen, sadly there will always other things to spend it on.

Shame but most games are summer games so should be ok.

Makes sense that.

I’m just waiting for Leigh to have a dig at the club now for the pitch. It’s usually a week before we get the pitch negative articles.

Does anybody know when the club can use the pitch fully again outside of game day? Can’t be far off now I’d have thought.
