People complain for years that there is no roof on the HSE, and when one goes up they start moaning about heaters. Perhaps you want carpets on the floor as well.

It may be better to they place seats in the corner on the arc of the terrace, but then they will be out in the open, but at least they’ll be able to see the pitch!! (Talk about putting away fans off a future return). Of course we shall need to provide appropriate shelter and viewing for any wheelchair users as well don't forget.
The reason for away seats going over there is not to do with segregation in the main stand whilst viewing the game, it is to do with maintaining segregation if the stand is required to be evacuated quickly. There is a timescale to be able to evacuate safely do this and we cant do this and maintain segregation as home and away fans would need to use the same mainstand east side stair well. Sounds ridiculous i know, but them’s the EFL rules apparently. ...I was thinking a new stairwell down to the the pitchside, mirroring the one by the home dug out, could perhaps be a solution to assisting in an evacuation scenario only (for home fans), whilst still allowing segregation and away fans to evacuate the stand using the east side stairs. Matchday Segregation could be made by taking out 3-4 columns of seats out of action and using segregation netting that you see at other grounds.
No scenario is ideal and as someone mentioned, the club will need proper long term solutions for the Steelworks End and the Main Stand if we are to become an established league club.
