Personally, I was very impressed, perfectly matches the clubs current needs with an eye on the future for potential developments if/when need be.

Whats the deal with the uncovered side? Its very slimline, doesn't look out of place with the ground (which looks cracking by the way, none of this bowl shaped flatpack shite there!) - i know its that safe standing thing they are testing or whatever, will it remain uncovered?

You could probably wear your D&R shirt in the home end and still be very welcome!

Due to the cost particularly of the fantastic main stand they had to scale back the uncovered side. Also due to the recession some grants that had been available previously were withdrawn.

Piling has apparently been done to enlarge/cover that side probably with more hospitality boxes as they sold the ones in the main stand quite easily.

Also the ends have been built with flexibility so that the grouund can be enlarged to a 10,000 capacity in the event of us being promoted.

Pretty accurate that Peter but I thought an "assband" was married to the wife, and you have missed an "r" off Sarrfend
