The plan is for the Rolex clock to remain where it is as the roof's height will be below the clock.
That doesn't really make sense as you won't be able to see the clock anymore as the roof will obscure it especially at pitch level..... |

Clock will probably moved to one of the corners of the ground or even on the front of the roof.

Can't they just pawn the clock, Rolex that size probably pay for the stand itself! |

IIRC tis the only Rolex at a football stadium, gotta keep it on that basis alone. Works pretty much all the time whereas the scoreboard ... |

I'm all for someone investing money in the club. If you don't agree with the use you don't have to contribute. I agree it's not particular nice stand and with a roof it will only be marginally better but it does make it more usable but it will be better . I was so pleased when I saw all those supporters in the Stratton bank that day the trust organised. Many of them were new to the ground and quite frankly I couldn't care less that u paid and they didn't. If they had been pissed on all day that would have definitely taken the edge off the day for many of them but we got lucky with the weather. Also someone has made point regarding development of the Townsend, the most likely area to be develops by the club. These supporters could relocate to the stratton bank temporarily as ticket prices would not be an issue being an end stand. Also atmosphere could be better because if away supporters are under cover the noise generated,like the townend, leading to more responses from the town end leading to the side stands joining in more. All in all is something for the club for nothing and there are no disadvantages. I absolutely support Any organisation willing to raise and put money in.
From a supporter labeled as a daytripper at Wembley to someone who looks forward to going every week and does so

If the new Bank was given to away fans, would many people migrate from the TE back to the Intel as used to be the case?

The question has been asked around why not just put a new stand in. From memory, the likely cost of a new stand is between £1,000 to £1,500 per seat. So around £2.3m to £3.45m to replace 2300 seats. The variance will be down to the level of work required under the structure. The guys who did the PNE development confirmed these types of costs when Fitton/Wray were looking into the costs a few years ago and it ties in with published numbers from other grounds. That's without site clearance as well.

And an extra portaloo, that would jack the cost up.
