Was aware of this one that was withdrawn in the mid noughties, didn’t think there was a previous one. yes, Rovers got planning permission for a new North stand. The reason for not going ahead with the build seemed a bit lame.

Can anyone tell me the plans for the very left of the stand where the seats don’t go all the way to the back of the stand?? What’s going there??? Or why have they left it blank?? That bit is intentionally missing so we can remain just a little tin-pot and avoid getting ahead of ourselves....

Media suite? Security control room? Hospitality? Pitch view restaurant? Or wheelchair user viewing platform? Getting up there may be fun. 😀

Yes I thought that at the time. conditions can usually be changed over time. Ironically, it probably would have been a good move to proceed with that build and then continue with a wrap around East stand later.
Instead, the full stadium rebuild plan with student accommodation superceded this, but fell flat.
Piece by piece as Wael says.

Based on the planning documents I thought it was because of the Alton road steps (which are under that section). Although it was confirmed they are no longer used/required as an entrance/exit/emergency exit, they are still there and I guess they didn't want to complicate the planning application by either filling them in or drilling deeper piles into that area.

There was obviously some logistical reason it wasn't completed. Can't believe they wouldn't put seats in that section just so we could have the big screen there. I do think it would make a good wheelchair viewing platform though, would obviously need a lift.

Piles can go as deep as required! If you google earth the area at the top of Alton Rd you will see the steps encroach slightly into the rear alignment of the new stand. If you then see the concrete steps of the East Terrace, the location of the turnstiles then the area of missing seats is needed to provide a safe height and floor area entry/exit to the new stand.

I looked at original plans and there is an open section in top left . I assumed this is for the scoreboard ( unconfirmed ). However it's much smaller in the original plans than the latest photo. How do we know that's the final seating design ?. It does look a much bigger open space. Maybe they will carry on building that section and leave a smaller section for screen. Otherwise I am at a loss if this is the final design. Click below this is reflective of original plans. www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/news/planning-permission-granted-new-south-stand-memorial-stadium/
