johnking123 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Police box cut back yet. Is the lounges on the second floor almost done yet. Not to much detail coming from the club at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemclaren Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Drove past today and not much more was obvious from the last time I was there. Seemed to be a lot of stuff stored in the hospitality areas, looked like a dept store so might be shop stock. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, definitely a mistake to not have the tens of millions that would have cost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David McCaig Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Why would it have cost tens of millions more? 3 of the 4 stands were built pretty much immediately anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hearing that there have been quite a few changes to the drawing and also the people drawing them. Can anyone ITK confirm if Jim Clydesdale is still part of the project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Row 31-er, it takes ages to get out unless you do as others and try to nab a seat lower down just before the final whistle. But FFS you shouldn't really need to do that. I'm assuming that once the top level's ready , we'll be able to exit from those doors, but would be good to have that confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horses for courses is a good motto but probably hard to find, and afford, someone that has built a football stand to similar scale, complexity, constraints and timescale. Let’s hope any outstanding issues are relatively straightforward to mitigate or resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah O Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 So only a few people will be exiting from the top of the stand? A small few battling up the stairs to nip out to the lounge? Sounds mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
