wouldn't fit in the space unless it was very tall 🤔 Or we only let very very small people in. Baggy would be fine then

I'm still amazed that even with a newly designed stand going in they have so many upright supports restricting the view.... Imagine it would be quite a bit more expensive to have one without uprights - better support struts, cantilevering etc

Not sure it would make much dent in the £50m or whatever needed for a stadium though!

I don't know if the club knows about any grants it is entitled to. I'm not in a position to know that.

The Club are well aware what is available but you can only use it once so you have to sure that it is used for LONG TERM benefit

Farnborough's new bespoke doesn't have those awful poles in the way. It's not bespoke and has been there a number of years and is still not finished !

Although I was an engineer by trade, unfortunately not a construction engineer. However I would suggest a cantilever roof would require a proper foundation and would surely be difficult to achieve on a structure that is temporary and just sits on the ground without any foundations. Over to the experts on here!

Over to the experts on here! That would depend on the span, depth and weight of the roof. Would imagine that a canvas roof like the South Stand was very doable.

I'm given to understand that the wind can be a major problem in the design of that type of roof irrespective of what it is covered in. I would not want you to witness from your seat in the south stand, 350 Gasheads being tipped backwards into the adjoining gardens!

It's not so much the weight of the structure that's the issue, it's holding it down. The wind load / suction uplift on the roof structure will be the governing factor, the poles are a very efficient and cost effective way of tying the front of the roof down, given it is supposed to be a cheap (and temporary 😉) structure I can understand the club not going for cantilevered roofs.

Yeah most of them will take £5 a hour

The poles will only keep the roof in place they won't stop it blowing over, it's like most things at Rovers apart from senior appointments, all done on the cheap. The only thing we seem to have spent decent money on his the pitch and I'm not sure we'll even benefit from that.
