buzz Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 24 minutes ago, DETTY29 said: I think the directors seating is getting moved upwards and they need decent access / exit points which wasn't working where they were mingling with everyone else and getting abuse, both home and away directors. It will be simpler to give the directors either exclusive or priority access / exit points at the top of the main stand. It seems strange that the directors didn’t get their own access stairway like they had in the old stand. It was always going to be a bad idea having them coming in and out with everyone else.

People leaving in a stream is going to lead to standing. My view is regularly blocked for the last 10 mins. Also stewards patrolling constantly (which doesn't happen in other stands) is a real pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The development of the new stadium on a cramped site has been a major achievement at modest cost ... at least until the new main stand where cost over-runs have nothing to do with the architect but more to do with the management of the project.

The Natural Order Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Can anyone share what the problems the architect caused are? I've seen the same obvious ones like access for directors, poor bog layout, electric supply etc but there must be more to it than that. Also, if we have new architects coming in are they just going to be reworking the internal layout a bit or is there going to be bigger changes to the stand?

kila Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 So male toilet layouts are a problem, I'm not convinced the kiosk locations are optimal (trek from middle of the stand) and the directors location and entrance/exit was glaring obvious it was never going to work. What other problems are there with the current interior design and what else is likely to be changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I moved over to the main stand after a decade in the Wheatfield. Pros and cons for me. I love my view as I’m pretty central and high up. Get served quicker at kiosks too. Downside is leaving takes a lot longer from seat to exit and the kiosk toilet area is pretty claustrophobic compared to the Wheatfield which is delightfully open plan.

False ceiling looked good in the early photos during construction but having been in there now, probably be better without! Maybe it'll open up more once the directors are moved to the sky lounge from their current location in between the north and south concourse sections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can we surmise that the board have decided to put Stand Development on hold until they work out what remedial action they want to take to aforementioned 'oversights' and plough resources previously earmarked for that into the playing side for the rest of this season instead? The stand is at least open and functioning at a basic level so probably not a bad shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
