What are peoples opinions on the redeveloped south stand? It should be ready to sit in for the new season, maybe a game or two into the season at the latest. With the concourses etc completed late November early December. Then the TV gantry etc sorted presumably after that.
I actually think it looks quite good. All one tier, and the lower section will actually be level with the pitch with excellent sightlines. Should be a much better experience. Similar to the stand at Fulham and Palace but ours will be in a better condition with better seating.
Would be interesting to know how much it will cost to improve that stand. Maybe 2 million? That's just a guess.
Only drawback is there will be some supporting pillars in the way but with the buildings behind the stand, that's not really something that can be avoided.
Obviously the key to really increasing capacity is building a new tier on the North stand with corporate facilities.
However I'm encouraged by this improvement. The south stand will then be sorted. Unless in the future the club intend to fill in the corners with the south stand.
The redevelopment of this stand isn't massively overwhelming but it is certainly a good improvement on the current south stand.
