They shouldn't be thanked for this, this is a bare minimum requirement. Still lunar years away from being a Football Ground

surely moving the bottom bit forward will just create bigger gaps behind it??
i hope they are considering 'safe standing'.

No mention of safe standing, no mention of the roof.
Its just rushed out bullshit 'cos the fans are getting restless again.

A lunar year is twelve days shorter than a year. Probably best to stick to normal years.

As it's a leap year can we ask for a divorce from them?

This was originally announced feb 2019
Yet they've only just announced contractor Feb 2020 and now they're finalising designs?
So incompetent it's beyond a joke. I do wonder if they've intentionally allowed LLDC to drag their feet with this/Wasre time and money as part of their plan to buy the stadium long term.

This is another example of GSB claiming the credit for something off of the back of someone else.
The stadium owners have contracted the work to be completed for all pitch-based events and is being done to cut the costs of moving the seats.
It is not being done purely because the club might have requested it.

That's well cheered me up, makes the shitfest on the football side of things seem insignificant for a FOOTBALL club of our size.

I need to learn to keep up. Does this sound the death knell for the cable ties and gaffer tape then?

correct they already wrote to people that sit there
will be the same for any seats we try to move nearer the pitch, the cost of replacing the roof would be ridiculous and as it's already the biggest roof of that sort on the world/europe or whatever I don't imagine extending it would be possible either

The website says:
"The designs will create a traditional “kop” feel to the seating arrangement for pitch-based events, such as football"
The meaning of Kop says:
Spion Kop (or Kop for short) is a colloquial name or term for a number of steep single tier terraces and stands at sports stadiums, particularly in the United Kingdom. Their steep nature resembles a hill near Ladysmith, South Africa, that was the scene of the Battle of Spion Kop in January 1900 during the Second Boer War.
Unfortunately a single steep terrace at the LS will only be achieved by knocking it down and rebuilding it.

Yeah the roof is built for a 3 week event in the summer not a full football season, I am not an architect but you not do adequate work to make that roof worthy of football stadium in the closed season. I doubt safety laws would allow the work to done during the season unless there are partial closures of the stadium,
In layman's terms the David will not spent the money to make that thing look anything like a football stadium

Check out these proposed plans for Villa Park and their kop. Shame it wasn't built.
