So to be sure . A family stand is going up behind East terrace ( near tea hut ). Will the away stand replace the terracing area ? Will the South / West stand be replaced ? Is the South Stand being extended ?. From the drawings I’ve seen it looks like the new stands are going over the top of the existing terracing. South west and south stands are staying as they are. So will there be access to the away terracing or will the terracing be used as a stand ?. Another words will it be just one or both ( terrace and stand ) in away end ??

The diagram in the ticket section of club website indicates there will be both, although logically thinking there will have to be oas otherwise away numbers will be cut drastically if they are all seated in future and there's no logic is doing that when the likes of Sunderland and Pompey will sell out the away ends.

I understand the SW stand is being lengthened towards the west enclosure. I'm not 100% sure but think it is actually being rebuilt as the seating / aisle layout is changing.

The tents, the tents, Wael, never get rid of the tents.

So if they're making it one whole bar where does this leave the Supporters Club? Seeing as you had to be a member to get in the bar which seemed a bit odd as that's not money going directly to the club.

I contacted Tom Gorringe asking him to put an update on the club website ref improvements being made to the Mem. Tom said he would put details on the official website next week, other than the fact I am pretty sure the south stand is not being upgraded but other new stands are going in, I don't know much more than any one else on here. So I think you all need to be patient and hopefully all will be revealed by the club next week.

It would make the stadium look more welcoming if the south stand was extended the whole width of the ground

It would make the stadium look more welcoming if the south stand was extended the whole width of the ground Can you imagine that? Fully roofed and enclosed. That would actually be a massive step forward even if it is done by temporary stands. Theres a lot of negativity on here but I’m starting to get the feeling the club are preparing for the worst case scenario that we’re at the mem in its current state for a few good years yet, due to the sorts of problems we’ve been seeing at other clubs and our own in actually getting these sorts of projects to the build stage. With the increase in seating, now from the sounds of it at the expense of terracing, it feels like they’re getting ready for the possibility of a 3 year stint in the championship before we actually move from the Mem or get it properly rebuilt. Whilst we all want the proper redevelopment, or a total new stadium somewhere else, Rome wasn’t built in a day and if you read between the lines these works could actually show a statement of intent. As others have said, and I have said previously, we’ve had sod all for 22 years now so this is a welcome improvement even if it isn’t the real McCoy. We are heading in the right direction.

It would feel strange if the terracing is being used solely for a stand to hold the same amount ( 1000). This still means the section in the south stand ( 300) wil have to be used for away fans. Overall : it won't increase away support or address the lack of seats for home fans. Surely : the stand would go above away terracing allowing restricted away terracing even if it's only 500. So 1000 in away new stand 500 plus in away terracing. I suppose we need to await the full plans coming out soon.

Wait till Glastonbury ends wael and co will have plenty of tents too choose from and all free.
We could knock down all the stands and replace them with tents with sleeping bags and be the first club to have sleep overs.
Beat that landsdown ⛺️🏕⛺️🏕⛺️🏕

An issue could be we only have a safety certificate for the present ground capacity, I assume it's not easy to just increase it by another 500, although the Mem rarely sell out anyway, so if we can get 30% of 10,0000 gate paying for seats it makes more economic sense than just 20% paying extra, assuming the ALQ's have done their sums right/fans are prepared to pay extra to sit down.

If they're making one big room then I'm guessing Irene's kitchen will be either gone or relocated....
Any interference with the availability of cheesy chips can only be regarded as one huge step backwards....

Not in shape anyway, a cosmetic update maybe but no whole knock through as I understand.
