This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave I noticed that the models don't show the present floodlight towers. Are they going to be removed and replaced with a different lighting system? Of course the floodlights on the Main Stand roof will be removed. Edited by kenbarr (19 Jan 2018 6.43am)

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave The floodlights at the Whitehorse end will certainly be going, not least because the column of the one in the Whitehorse / Main Stand corner would obscure the view of those at the far end of the new stand The new stand is so tall, they can mount lights on the roof of it instead of having pylons Everything is still in development, but if you want a fair idea of what it will kind of look like, have a look at the West Stand at Brighton's Amex Stadium, as our new stand is being designed by the same people (KSS Architects) and they are very similar

Apologies for the bright circles in some pics, the model is in a glass case and there were spotlights on the ceiling above reflecting onto the glass LOL, I thought the light circles were fancy added lights on each corner of the stadium on the first few pics. I quite liked them.

Currently the main stand is a rusty old cow shed. This petty behaviour is typical of jobsworth council workers. Despite the fact that pretty much anything would have a nicer external appearance than the current stand they have started to pick up on details like competing motif's, corporate appearance, and not enough ironmongery. All very subjective opinions, particularly when the club has done more than simply put forward an identikit stand. Although, it looks as though there would be less to critise if we did that. Hopefully a bit more "austerity" will get rid of these bell ends.

Although there is a move towards curved stands, logic being that you want to seat more people over the halfway line than the corner flags as these seats are worth more, which in turn creates an elliptical shape, across the country it seem standard fayre is either sheet metal or this new fangled cladding which exacerbated the Grenfell fire. We are proposing a mix of brick at the bottom and glass above, to replicate the brick terraces and glass building of the Crystal Palace. And they are still fussy over a club crest and some 21st century design!
