I agree. people moaning about a few pillars is unreal, I think the stand looks fantastic. If we lost the pillars then we’d probably use some seats. I think it’s an upgrade on what we had for sure but I’m not sure it’s fantastic, not for me anyway.

We would have liked it without pillars, but I expect we got more seats and got it done quicker by having them! Plymouth still have pillars inb their main mayflower stand, which was redone a few years ago. The bottom section doesn't have pillars, but it doesn't have a roof, so they get wet😂.
Other clubs that people said are run better than us, are still waiting for theirs to start.

You'd think that the Alton Road residents would be very happy.....all their houses face each other, so they don't even have to look at us when entering/leaving their houses, and, the construction of the South Stand will help to keep noise levels lower than previous tents, plus no or less bouncing balls (!) down their road or in their gardens as construction is taller, so unless you're Ayunga, the ball will stay within the perimeter of our confines.... can't speak for a jch Pompey penalty, but it's win win win for them.

They won’t be happy. Probably still trying to claim 10,000 fans spend all Saturday afternoon fighting in their street or going to the toilet in their front gardens !!!

Worst ever was Northampton's old ground with a 'Scaffolding' stand.Opp there was nothing as it shared with the County Cricket club and the floodlights were very poor. Whatever the thoughts on our new stand it is virtually the only improvement I have seen since Eastville's North Stand replaced the pitch long shed.

Surely there is going to be some advertising at the front, like the old totaliser. Could help raise some additional funds to save costs. The angle of the roof is massive, so people will still get wet in the first few rows. Has there been any sponsorship/ naming rights announced? The prevailing winds are from the south west, south or west. Fans in the new stands will be kept dry.
