Does it have a concourse shell prepared though? And even if it does the space is small. When in the concourse of the stand i've looked up and just can't get my head around the idea. It's never clicked with me to be honest.Same when looking at it from outside too. I just can't see it working without significant impact on the upper tier of the stand. Why do it there when its the best stand of the 4? It aint borken so fix the bits of the ground that are.

Its not just the spaces for the boxes, you are going to need space for the back of house stuff unless they are planning to carry the food round the pitch side on trays.

I'm trying to remember what the DRS concourse is like. Isn't it double / full height at the rear of the stand? I seem to remember looking up and assuming there was scope to put in an extra floor at mid stand height. |

Basically there is what there is on the ground floor on the floor above, but not as wide obviously. So plenty of room for boxes and food/drink stands, or more likely bar and hospitality area.

It's not worth losing 1000 seats over. Financially it probably is but from a logical point of view, no. You're just making a small ground even smaller.

Where is all that room, I don't get it? The steps from the upper tier stagger down and take up loads of space. There is minimal space unless i'm seeing it completely wrong. That's why I cant see it working without impacting on most of the upper tier. It is quite narrow really in comparison to the Arkells stand. |

The concourse is double height, with a floor above. The bottom concourse makes it seem smaller because you have the access points taking up a lot of space. You've probably got a good 15-20ft width available above though before you'd begin hitting the seat space.

Yep. IN terms of functional space it's not much less than the bottom. |

Box the bank?
Should do what Donny did on a similar stand at Belle Vue. Double stack fitted out Portacabins on the bank and use the space as its barely ever used and we'd probably still be able keep half of the seats on it. Maybe the boxes could support some kind of temporary roof and solve that problem at the same time. Seems a much simpler and more beneficial option to me. |
