Not sure. :smt017 It looks like they are doing something alongside the pitch where the advertising hording used to be.

Prizes for ideas :smt038

There should be three boxes along the frontage with slopes to the under concourse for the wheelchair users and their attendants.
There are 7 on the south side , 10 in the centre and 10 at the north side. These give many more platforms compared with the previous two west areas. Originally on Drawing AL-20-110. :smt030
Forget the prize I just want a pint of Everards hand pulled ale from the new big bar under this new stand.
Hope this helps!

Wrong type of boxes Wormus - earlier there were giant sized 'pizza boxes' stacked along the side of the pitch in front of the North Stand.

Makes sense if these are electronic advertising boards, these will have a smaller footprint than the traditional a frame design, these will allow playing surface to be wider without losing surrounding walking/spectator areas. This could be a solution?

You may have won the prize.

They have certainly erected a vertical hording in place of the previous 'A' frame hording in front of the North Stand. Whether or not it is electrical we shall find out on Sunday but I suspect you are right :smt023

Posts are back up, looks like they are in the front row of the stand. :smt001 Could those red seats now installed, have been in the boxes?

If they are red seats (which is what they look like) they must have changed the colour scheme. All the illustrations to date show a continuation of the colour scheme used in the north stand which would suggest dark green at the bottom :smt009

Perhaps the red seats will turn green when it rains on them? :smt017

It hasn't worked Bill. Any more suggestions?

I'm not going to be the one to call you sad, or tell you to get a life, 'cos I'm not a doom monger (nor a happy clapper - which is possible despite what certain doom mongers think). :smt023
