Not how I was expecting them to be arranged but looking good.

Good progress pic. Looks a strange random slightly CBA approach to the colour distribution though that initially I'm not keen on. I was expecting red white and blue stripes rather than a lego box approach.

I prefer symmetrical or uniform things.

I’d prefer stand length striped as top 3rd rows red, mid rows white and bottom 3rd blue. Or blocks of red, white, blue, White, red - completely symmetrical.

Maybe I’m boring but it hurts my eyes looking at that.

Think it looks good going to be one of the brightest stand in the Championship,far better than one colour

If I remember correctly, the randomness of the colour placing is designed to make the stand look full even when it’s only sparsely occupied, especially on TV

I was wondering that.
Looking forward to seeing it first hand.

I like it

Who gives a sh*t what the pattern is?
Could be sky blue pink as long as it opens!
(Obviously would prefer RW&B in that case, but hey-ho!)

When we have 2,500 people sitting in it you won't see the colour of the seats.

But yes, I remember JM saying the mixed colours gives a better view when not full.

I would be very disappointed if we couldn’t fill the full 2,200 with home and away fans.

Weren’t they on about effectively closing West stand once this opens unless the ticket sales demand it’s opening?

If it has a reason so be it but I still don’t like the look of it by design. I’m sure for every person who me who appreciates symmetry and organisation there’s others who prefer a complete cluster or splatter approach.

While I don’t prefer it I’m glad we are progressing.
