Does anyone know what the capacity of the ground will be when this is all done. Would be great to have a couple of full houses next season.

Thought I remember hearing something like 6250 give or take a hundred or so, Could be wrong.

Wow! This looks decent, always good to see it in the flesh rather than artistic drawings. Thanks for the pics, much appreciated by all.

Presumably that's for the away fans then?

No. I think the away end is for the away fans, but I'm no expert.

I've known Lan for years, and he knows that his 400 mm lense can't compete with my mobile phone camera

Yes Mark, I have more time than most.
Ian knows that his all singing, all dancing camera can't compete with my mobile phone camera

The new stand in the away end will have 522 seats. Add on the other 120 that are already there that gives around 640 seats for away fans. There is also room for around 300 standing spectators in the away end giving an away capacity of around 950

Why would you have away fans in one corner of the ground and then another cohort on a few rows of seats at the other end?

It was meant to, but others don't have the same sense of humour as you or me!

At least mine are level

No photos however for those living away, looks like the roof frame has gone up on the 'home' side of the 2 stands today.

Driving past looking at the pitch and angle of these new temporary stands looks like there could be restricted views from the top of the current main stand or lower down in the temporary stands... might be my eyes though
