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. ..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... Wouldnt be surprised to see a sponsors name. Hope we get a decent sponsor for the stand anyway.

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. A reply in itself is an update for readers of the other forum...he's still around! gasheads.org/thread/11572/gorringe-sacked

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. ....fair point, we will find out over the coming days/weeks I guess. I've not been to a stadium where it didn't look like I could remove the seats with some basic tools so I guess this will be the same - even if they arrive and are installed in pre-fabricated rows surely there is the possibility to remove/replace seats individually...?

Looks like it’ll be ready for the Cheltenham game on the 9th December, maybe that will be the test event? I’m sure I read somewhere it’ll have a reduced capacity until it gets a safety certificate?

Not sure exactly how it works but think you have to have at least a couple of test events. supergas probably knows ?

You would hope commen sense prevails. For the Cheltenham game 200 away 200 home for South stand only . Then gradually increase .
It be interesting for the Christmas games . If allowed I would expect Pompey & Charlton to be sell outs . But we don't know if that means 10 11 or 12 k ?.

Imagine a sellout game vs a prem team in round 3 of the fa cup (cracking atmosphere).

pa.bristol.gov.uk/online-applications/files/EF2C72759FAE7EE546E08D887965060F/pdf/23_03826_F-TRAVEL_PLAN_FRAMEWORK-3542287.pdfIs interesting reading and has some facts that local residents could do with reading considering the high number of objections related to increased capacity and parking. Among the headlines is the fact the capacity after the stand is open will be 12250 which is less than it was in 2018. Further the club are developing a transport plan to be shared with the highways authority within 6 months of the stand opening. Until then capacity would be limited to 10,500. The document also states bus services pass the stadium at 3 minute intervals, and that the club is willing to contribute to things like bike sheds. The new Ashley Down station of course will have a massive positive impact. Perhaps the residents should be open to the Alton Road end turnstiles being opened to make walking from the station for away fans easier ? If they genuinely want less parking in the area access from that end would make a lot of sense. This is the article something about 10500 (see above). Is it suggestion current capacity is 10500 or once stand is open it will be 10500 for 6 months ?. A bit confused.

It suggests capacity will only be restricted until they produce the plan, as soon as they produce the plan I assume capacity will be increased to 12K+? Which probably means if we draw a Premiership club at home in R3 the plan will be produced PDQ!

They would fill most of the south stand ?.
