I found this on Wikipedia - never heard about it before...
"There is a second concourse inside the stand which can be opened and used as a second executive area to the ground. If some seats are removed this would allow the club to use this concourse to add executive boxes to the County Ground stadium.
It is understood this concourse has never been opened due to the lack of funds Swindon Town have had over the last 10 years.
On 14 April 2008, Chief Executive Nick Watkins told a fans forum that the club is currently considering opening up the second concourse to add executive boxes to the ground and in 2011, when plans for redeveloping a new county ground, this was confirmed."
I can't quite picture what it's on about though - help!

Are we sure it's not bricked up to create the illusion of a second concourse?

Here's a photo of the stand under construction. http://www.flickr.com/photos/churchward82c/3871980900/Looks like there is space above the existing concourse for a second with a face out to the pitch if part of the existing seats were removed. If it was done then it'll look like the larger stand at Adams Park. |

Have you seen that episode of the Simpsons (Homer vs the 18th Amemdment, I think) in which Moe presses a button and the bar becomes a pet shop...it's like that. |

The only idea of boxes I remember hearing was from Fitton to put them above the stratton bank!

I assume as it currently stands, there is no access to the hidden concourse. I wouldn't be overly surprised if there was something dodgy stored in the second concourse!
