I wonder if the screen is the reason why the South West Stand is so much lower than the South Stand. Could it go on top of the South West stand? Apparently it's lower to stop the residents behind the stand objecting to the plans, as the old SW stand was a similar height? Although if the TV was put there then nobody in the West Stand inc the exec boxes could see it? Not even sure if the North Terrace could see it? Unless you get two screens, there will always be an area that cannot see it. |

The screen was planned to go directly above the goal on the front of the south stand. This is what Dave bright said That can't be right, the South stand wouldn't be able to see it... 🙄 |

Shame we can't put it back in the old location. That was perfect. Problem is, someone has gone and built a stand in front of it. |

I was always under the understanding it was going in the space at the top left, I can even recall seeing it in an artists impression that the club released.
Wherever it goes hopefully we'll see it put up over the summer

Wherever it goes hopefully we'll see it put up over the summer I don't ever remember seeing plans or drawings with a screen in that space. Having said that I remember reading somewhere the gap was because they couldn't pile due to the Alton Road steps but now I can't find any reference to that either.... |

It seems very likely indeed to me. What else is it for? Did they run out of corrugated sheeting? The gap in the seating is there to link the east stand seats into the south stand , when the east stand is constructed, that info came from TG. I’m not doubting the information you were given, but there are a couple of reasons why it’s a silly idea. Firstly, heaven only knows when the East Stand will be built, so the meantime fill that area up with seats. They could easily be removed when required. Also, the South Stand is a temporary structure, so why would they join up a permanent East Stand with a temporary South Stand? Having said that, I am no architect or builder. |

Whilst I am sure it is stated somewhere that the south stand is a temporary structure, surely no one actually believes this? I am resigned to the fact it will be around a lot longer than I will be! |

It's temporary in the sense there's no above-ground brickwork or concrete - it's basically just all bolted together on the foundations so you don't need to demolish anything to remove it - it just comes apart and in theory could be reused somewhere else. In reality it's there until we relocate, go bust or become rich enough to buy up all the local residents' houses.... |

Stick it above the South Stand and make the South Stand the family area. If we are playing poorly it can be switched over to Babe station.
