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/I think there is a bit of an optical illusion to it at the moment. You still have the security fencing around it which is going to be six feet tall, maybe more. I keep thinking its the advertising hoardings and only a couple of feet high. Also the seats going in will raise it and it will have to have some rear safety railings.

Also the seats going in will raise it and it will have to have some rear safety railings. The main stand is roughly 24 - 26 seats . The far left should be around 12-14 seats on orginial plan. I counted about 8. I think it's still unfinished on far left and more rows should go in. Even so I still don't know 100 % what the far left gap will be used for . I thought it was for the scoreboard screening ?.

... can't pile deeper due to the old Alton Road steps... Strange comment. 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. Quite obvious to the untrained eye. The piles are already there with the steelwork of the new stand, so nothing to do with that. Clevedongas has said on here months ago it was where the new scoreboard/ screen was going, have no reason to doubt Sean on this

It looks like we’ve missed the opportunity to put GAS or PIRATES spelt out on the seats in white. Very disappointing, puss up & brewery? Looking good though 👍

The lower bit is the same height as the lowering for the South West Stand, potentially a little look into further developments would be my guess.

Should have had more seats in the left hand gap who needs a scoreboard anyway ?

This picture looks more like the original plans. I thinks it's a combination of a few more rows added today and a safety bar.
It looks just the right size for the proposed screen being added.

Emailed TG at 1600 today as regards swopping standing ST and moving to the new stand. He confirmed that once the stand is finished shortly that will be the case and to look out for an announcement. His reply was at 1604, so obviously is still very much in position, but it would appear I did not interupt any Managers interview!

Screen / scoreboard makes sense in that gap👌
Wonder if the barrier at the bottom is gunna have digital adboards or those ones placed infront of the old stationary ones like other stands.
