why are they using temporary seating? they have the same type on the new stand at luton I don't know about Luton but the South/SW stand at the Mem is not a 'permanent' structure. In this case it means little or no above-ground concrete or brickwork, everything is metal so it can be bolted together and (when required) taken apart in reusable pieces rather than having to be demolished. So it's not 'temporary' seating, but it's not being bolted to a concrete base like you'd see in a permanent stand (like Oxford or Reading).

Just read an interesting article re Blackpool FC. They plan to buy up an entire street so they can expand their stadium and create a sports village, compulsory purchase being mentioned and they seem to have the backing of the local council! Pssst! don't tell residents adjacent to The Mem!

Pssst! don't tell residents adjacent to The Mem! I've read about it too, a big chunk of the land needed/money for it comes from the council rather than the club - although the club massively benefits from the space to build a larger East Stand that their owner is paying for... ...why not let those living near the Mem know? This is a local council working with a local football club to enhance facilities both matchday and non-matchday facilities. Their highest average attendance in the last decade has been 12,000 so they are a very good comparison....

Pssst! don't tell residents adjacent to The Mem! Looking at an aerial view I assume its Henry street. Nosed at the house prices and one sold a couple of years ago for 60k. A large chunk of the street is a builders yard so not many householders to shift. My grandparents were one of a few to be moved out of the bottom of Muller road for the M32 junction. Got a decent bungalow for their troubles. I believe someone stayed put until they were offered a significant upgrade

I reckon something like Rovers or The Gas will be marked out by the seat colours so blue and white ?

For Tilly and all the others who come on here for UPDATES. I have been in contact with Tom G this morning , he says the seats are being installed over the next few weeks, they will be blue and the south stand will have a designated area for families and those with special needs.

Missing a trick if they don’t have BRFC or GAS in white seats spelled out

The stand is not temporary , it is a prefabricated , but has piled foundations and is perminant. The green seats are put in on a game by game temporary basis , but they won't be used for much longer.

At least they are not green !

At least they are not green ! With the way the stand is constructed, is changing the seats, in the off season for example, an easy/quick alteration? If they decide they want to get the lettering in at a later date.

If they decide they want to get the lettering in at a later date. ..I can't imagine it would be any harder than any other seating in any other stand. Buy the same seats in the new colour, figure out which ones to swap them out with and pay people to replace them. No idea why you would, it's irrelevant during games and unless it's a sponsor's name it costs money that could be better spent on other things...

Oh yeah apologies not suggesting it is an important issue, although getting a bit extra sponsor money could make sense depending on how much. Was more just wondering, I suppose, if they were inserted individually or whether they came in like pre made rows/sections and just slotted in.
