Temporary seating has started to be erected

Thanks, can you say if the seats are in front of the hospitality boxes, or on the West Terrace.

In front of flats south side

On Trinity facebook page that all East Stand season ticket holders will have a seat in temporary stand for Saints game.

I look forward to seeing the finished product.

On reflection I think those not holding a ground season ticket could have limited access. I have one for the East Stand so my place is guaranteed. With the West Stand suppose to be for away supporters and the North which is for home supporters limited to 1500. If the club do not look to limit the away support then we will be limited to 1500 standing,

This is of course subject to the temporary stand in front of the hospitality being allowed to be used or they will have to move to a place in the West Stand.

I’m wondering if we will retain the seating in front of the boxes. Would be nice to have a four sided ground.



It used to be a health and safety issue but clearly that’s been resolved so can’t see why not.

it could be linked to the bottom bar taking away part of the hand railing for entrance, bit of a faff but wouldn't look out of place and depending on the angle of seating even taking it to the next level above

Will you [iactually[/i be using your ST??

I was thinking the only way you'll see it is if someone posts a picture.

Almost 100% sure minyards has said we won't be

No probably not, but you never know.

Seats look well in front of the hospitality hope they keep them.



Up the Trin

Are there some photo's we can view ??

If it’s possible to keep them for a few years (not sure of their lifespan) then it might be worth it. If they’re on rental then it might not be a stretch to actually purchase them. I’m sure the club will do what’s best for them.

I can’t quite imagine how the seating is gonna look/work, if they do, then after the East stand is built leave them in, unless it’s some h&s issue, lack of exits, toilets etc.

I think they would prefer open space at that end for emergencies.

Once we have the East Stand complete, there seems little point in having the temporary stand to me.

Anyone who wants to see how the seating/ground is going go wztch reserve lads in action 12 clock tomorrow.gutted i cant go should be a good game

No they don't. In the past the club has asked to place seating at the front of the flats. It was rejected for fear of falling objects. Silly arguments when you look at how many overlapping 2 and 3 tier stands there are. Maybe new planning people at WMDC are more reasonable.



I think the seating should be kept if possible, gives a great option for away fans who may wish to be at the end even if it's only sitting. Will also look way better on TV.

Sod off!



Don't want away fans spoiling the atmosphere in Fox's Bar!!

I'll take your word for the access part but I agree with dboy too. If it stays it should be home supporters I'd it's in front of the flats.



I guess the point about the drinks is that it's a straight drop from the top. That will kill someone.

.









I was assuming that would move to the new stand. You seem very attached.

I'm not bothered who uses it so in that case it's all yours.



Yes it could but that surely applies to most modern stands where the second and third tiers are often 30 - 40 feet above the seats directly below.



I know in Italy they use what looks like netting that protects those below from most objects I can imagine other than say an office desk. I'm guessing that's what we are using or we are shutting the boxes.



I suppose we will see on Sunday.



Tragic really that the only thing I have any real interest in the weekend is what the builders have done so far

To be fair there is a good chance I will try the new stand out anyway...

The further away from the boxes the new stand is the lower it must be or you impede the view from the bar. It is also restricted at the sides because of access to the changing rooms and for the emergency services.
