You could try reading the proposal before passing judgement Tails - unless you're after Bowden's job of course.

I've read them before, I just couldn't remember if it said we'd have flats in the corners or not (I'm sure I remember hearing that they would be included).

More helpfully, the proposals do include the suggestion that the outward facing aspect of corner infills could be used as either luxury flats/commerical office space as part of the capitalisation of the project. But that would be visible from the outside, not the inside. Whereas what Orient have done is just dropped blocks of flats in the gaps and it not only looks toss, but is also wasteful of space available. I hope that helps clarify slightly more than the "grumpy old man" response of earlier  |

Although it would be pretty neat standing on the balcony of your flat watching your team play. |

There is an intersting article in 442 about those flats at Orient and more specifically those that live in them. IIRC the club sold the land to a developer (perhaps links to their own small scale stadium work) who then built the flats (rather crudely IMHO). I believe what we are looking at if I've read it correctly is similar, somewhat ironically, with what Rovers are planning, things built into the back of the stand, a poor mans version of the luxury hotel like at the MadStad.

It's a nice dream isn't it.
A stadium like the pic that Sam posted.

But won't the pitch be spun round by 90'or was that previous plans? |

The pitch rotation was part of the club's plans. We didn't believe it was necessary for the kind of community sports hub we're proposing (wheras it makes more sense if you're looking to cover the whole area in houses as the club were) and it added significantly to the overall cost of the project.
