Wonder if for any time during construction it'll mean North Terracing will be out of commission on matchdays. The latest Plan I believe is to close off the top of the terracing whilst constructing the stand , and allowing fans to stand in front of fencing , maybe about 6/7 steps back from front , similar to the space in front of main stand Edited December 21, 2022 by Finlay21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.T Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Probably asking a stupid question here, but what is the difference between the west stand and railway end? See both advertised on your website for away fans but is the railway end not the west side of the ground if that large area of terracing you’re saying is the north? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, but I woke up today convinced it was Friday and there was a game on. Disappointed now on a couple of levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Pundit Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Just say the stadium plans yesterday - look pretty good. What’s the plan with the other three sides, keep as is or any plans to freshen up / replace? I assume moving hospitality would allow you to do something with the old main stand, whereas the two end terraces are probably fine as is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the meeting with fans when discussing the plans , someone did ask that question , the reply was along the lines of let’s get this done first and in the future we will see what finances would be available for further improvements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they ere trying to strike a fine balance between modernisation and keeping the likeable features that make people want to visit Somerset. Basically, if folk want a seat, they can have it, or if folk want to stand, they can do that as well. There will be about 3000 seats in total after the new stand is built and about 9000 standing capacity. Any new main stand would need to fit the same footprint I'd imagine. So I doubt that it would be touched any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hursty Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Looked like Dempsey was training based on that clip the club put on social media earlier, hopefully means he is fit for tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sign of Houston, Musonda or O'Connor ffs... JML was in it though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 AP says Friday night could come just too soon for Musonda but Kirk is back training with Arsenal and expected to be back with us beginning of January. Houston and O'Connor remaining out with hamstring injuries but JML is back training. There's a sweat on Dempsey's fitness for Friday night too... if it was me and he isn't 100% i wouldn't risk playing him incase he aggravates something and ends up missing couple of months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be negligible right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
