:) Well the new season has started and still no word or any imformation or statement from Stanley about the new stand,think we all no that we need somethink sorting for the club to stay a league club,with 3 teams on minus points i would think its safe to think we would be safe from relegation,so why the delay either a new perpuse built or a temp stand would do,we all no we're not awash with dosh but there is grants for the stand,and we need to keep moving the club forward ,:)

Eric has already said, more than once, that the required seating will be in place by 1st May 2009. so what is the problem?

As I see it fans have been kept informed - Eric says the seats will be in place by the required date. This doesn't neccessarily mean that we are going to build a stand. We could erect a scaffolding structure, like you see round the 18th hole at golf tournaments, that wouldn't take long to put up. Eric has said that the seats will be in place, if they aren't and we get relegated then God help him.

There probably isn't any further news except that the required number of seats will be in place. It probably hasn't been decided yet where, how and when the seats will be put in. When it is I can only hope that they will let us know, but at the moment it doesn't look like there is any news to update people with.

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 
In todays Matchday Magazine Eric reveals ( Quote)Currently we are planning to remove the whole of the Whinney Hill side of the stadium and replace this with a covered modular seating structure.This will then become the designated area for visiting supporters'which unfortunately means home surpporters will have to choose between the terrace behind the goals and the main stand.(unQuote) there is more which out lines the benifits to the club as a whole,in my view its a positive move by the club :)

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 
Can someone clarify what a "Covered modular seating structure" looks like compared to a conventional stand with seating?

Whalley Red 23-08-2008 19:14

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 
"modular units" are units that are "plugged together" to make one whole unit ... looks like we're buying our "covered modular seating structure" from IKEA :D

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 
I think modular seating is the type used in temporary stands ie golf stands etc. The seats are fixed on to a tiered frame in samll groups so they can join several sections together, instead of being fixed on to concrete steps like a lot of grounds. If thats the case it may actually be a good idea because it's effectively temporary seating so if the money comes along for a more permanent structure it can easily and cheaply be removed.

Re: Whinney Hill Stand
 
So, if the new stand is the designated away fans' area, will the Cowshed Crew be moving to the Coppice End?
