After all the talk about Wrexhams new kop end stand, they have announced they are constructing a 2289 seat temporary stand on the site due to delays with their plans. It is hoped it will be open for the Newport game at Christmas.

I see on BBC news that someone has built a Santa's Grotto without planning permission so may need to knock it down after xmas. Who would be so silly 🙄. (TBH it looks fine but no public transport for something rural) Not sure how much the journalists have investigated it though. Could be a big garden lodge disguised as a grotto. Nearly as bad as the sport, our game was postponed on Saturday - thought it was Friday. The FGR situation is 'common' using Barnsley as an example. Any more examples?

Could be the flood lighting has something to do with the delay.

I'm sure some of you were defending the club not long ago, telling me to have a reality check, now you aren't happy that you aren't getting the comms It is a sh** show and we the fans are being treated poorly by the club.? Not sure saying if we haven't got the money then how can we build a new stadium at the FM is really defending them? As far as the comms I'd imagine it's just an handful of fans on here who are waiting for news about the new stand as it really mainly affects away fans, you can only hope s/t holders in the SW stand have received some kind of communication.

News would be great. I will go to the Charlton game on 29th with a mate of mine. I travel from Sussex, he comes from Reading. We have three Bristol-based pals who will also come, but only if they can sit as they aren't up to standing for two hours. So ideally I can buy five tickets for the new stand. Otherwise it's two tickets for the West enclosure. How long before anyone tells us what the plan is?

Apparently Pompey have only been given 750 tickets for boxing day. Was hoping to see 3000 of them in the new stand and a sell out crowd Much better to get the away fans to test it out (they’re expendable). Wouldn’t want to injury our own supporters. Personally I’d give Pompey 4,000 tickets for the new stand, see if it holds up. Don’t let that stinky Mr Pompey in there we’ll have to fumigate it

What's happening with the SW Stand this Saturday, as it seems odd now all the seats are in place no tickets are on sale but previously fans have used it when just the temporary seating was in place? As a club it's hard to believe how bad we are at PR, as any other club would be pushing to sell tickets by advertising that it was MT's first game and DC's return. Comms are a shocker these days and have been since a certain someone took charge. They’re at a low point now and all. But at least he responds to tweets and emails from certain individuals he’s chummy with. Nice and professional!

Just because the nice new seats are in doesn’t mean it’s finished, before they went in it was just a steel shell, there will be toilets too plum in, lighting, emergency lighting, cctv, exits, fire exits even entrances to allow us in, that’s just the basics,all of which will have to be passed by the council, fire and rescue and the police, before the safety advisory group get involved. Could be a while before it’s in use.

South stand is going to be used this sat ( all being well) , as before with the same capacity as temporary seats . Then they need building regs approval. Then we have to have use it with 50% capacity, then 75% ( test events) .
From Tom Gorringe .

I wasnt one demanding we know everything about the manager situation, but this is different. Really makes no sense. Did TG have a section in the program for last home game (Orient)? Literally heard nothing from him in weeks

So unreserved seating for away fans (500?) plus equivalent of SW tent for Rovers fans until building regs approval. As that date is unknown, i guess they can't confirm if Pompey is same as above, or Test match one approx 1700 allowed, split home and away tbc Test match two approx 2500 allwoed, split home and away tbc
