I’m told by one of the project management team that the stand will not be ready till the offseason.

These hasn’t been one major delay however there has been a number a minor issues that have built up and developed to the point where it has had a significant impact on programme.

So we’ve gone through this disastrous season and sticking with Applegarth for nothing?

What's the link?

I wonder how many supporters bought seating tickets and picked their seats in the new stand on the fact that the club clearly stated it would be ready to occupy in part or in full during this season. They now have to endure the possibility of the full season in the inadequate temporary seating. To actually get an opportunity to try the new stand then they will need to buy another season ticket despite the fact we are most likely to be in the championship. It will then depend on the costs, I think they should give this campaign season tickets holders a reduction on next season prices to thank them for putting up with the current facilities.

I'm sure I remember when JM presented this at the Shareholder meeting he said it was targeted to finish in August, so if it slips to off season we've only actually lost 3 home games.

As I understand it from when I spoke to the PM when I went to do the girder signing, the area behind the seats is the difficult part.
Although Carter said he wanted to try and get some seats ready before the main stand is finished, that will be decided by health and safety inspectors not us so that could be difficult to sign off.

Bought our stand tickets , but only used those end seats twice as we did not like them. We now stand on Western Terrace and I was hoping to at least get a few games in the new stand this year. But Hey ho ! just one more thing in this horrible season

We sit in the seats and they aren’t good. We would rather stand but after asking a few times we are told we are not allowed to stand in the ground and must stay in seating area.

Can we now stand?

Just walk out and into the Western Terrace, never seen a steward and never been stopped. I even on a couple of occasions gone to the north stand lower. Got stopped before going there with a steward near that tea bar, showed him our season tickets and he let us through.

Give it a go, far better than those seats

I want to retain my new seat in the stand but I may go into the west or north lower. We will see Sunday.

Son and I ordered our east stand tickets as soon as we were able .
To be honest I never really expected to be seated there this season, as delays etc are par for the course with building schedules.
So be it.
