Other than where the new stand roof meets the existing roof, the planning application drawings didn't include reroofing the holmesdale. The artists impressions and promotional gumpf showed the roof of all four stands bright white, but not otherwise changed. The images are either a bit of artistic licence, or it's a good time to buy shares in white paint, but that's about it.

The other stuff you list is certainly part of the project, and was shown on the planning application. You can see all the information on Croydon Council website (planning department) if you're interested. I'd suggest that you start with the design and access statement, as that acts as a guide to the proposal.

The interesting thing for me will be what happens next, once the new stand is finished and the dust has settled. If we can regularly fill the ground then perhaps attention will be turned to the Arthur or even the Whitehorse, though both present significant issues.

If we put in plans now to have a new stand , where the Arthur Wait stand is , we might get permission to build 20 years after I am dead .

The chairman has just done one of his periodic updates, and though I haven't watched the video yet myself, the website summarises his position regarding the new stand.

Seems the club are advanced enough in the process to be having to specify fine details for the purposes of tendering the construction contract. What wallpaper they want, where the catflap goes, that sort of thing.

We've let SP redevelopment drift for so long now we are way behind the curve of where we should be given the number of Prem League seasons we've had with all that cash. It's bleedin' obvious that 3 out of 4 of our stands are not fit for purpose...
