[NORTHERNSOUL]

I think there are people on here who should understand whats being considered before making statements about a product that simply aren't true for instance you will see from the pictures i.ve included the links for it simply isn't possible to have a concourse underneath it even if you bought one three times as deep as the one at Salford due to its design and the way the stantions are placed.

Going by what Andy Holt is said to have said on the subject the other evening the pics i.ve included are of a stand of a similar capacity to whats being proposed for the Whinneyhill side and as for the hospitality area behind the stand at Salford there are lots of pics all over the place from the opening/renaming ceremony last week take a look if you don't believe it looks more like a tin shed.

And despite what they're tweeting Stadium Solutions currently do not have a way of extending a stand by increasing the number of rows of seats [ in other words the depth of the stand ] once its built as i understand it the solution is they buy it back off you at a fraction of what you paid for it and then sell you a new larger one.

Yes clearly they can be extended lengthwise but once again the stand of the same proposed capacity at Salford runs the full length of the pitch so you have to assume the one theyre talking about will do as well making an increase that way not possible.

The other thing to consider is the aesthetics yes when its completed at Salford and there is a continuous roof with a front cowling and the corners filled in and covered it will give an enclosed look which despite its small capacity i agree does look quite good but i think you.ll agree the single stand-alone structure that's being considered for Stanley doesnt have that advantage.

Please don't think i.m waging some sort of campaign here because i.m, not i just happen to think Accrington Stanley and Andy Holts legacy deserve something better than what's being proposed here.And if Andy wants to hear my views and suggestions based on the study of Football Ground development over the past 50 years [ having been introduced to the subject by Simon Inglis for a project while i was at school ] he has me on Twitter and only has to say so.
