From that perspective, admittedly not one many of us get often, it does stand out a bit. From what I can gather it's going to be redone with a white black and grey exterior. I don't know if it will feature the lighting like the south and Williams stands, but I hope so. I really want to see some action on the dolman stand now, it's for me the most interesting part of the redevelopment - building anew existing structure into a new stadium.

From that perspective, admittedly not one many of us get often, it does stand out a bit. I think that there are two parts to the work on the dolman. One is the addition or multiple entrances rather than two either side, and the other is the exterior, I know for certain the roof is being done to be in line with the new East End but I'm not 100% sure about the wall. though I'd imagine it will be done as part of the work to add more turnstiles in the Dolman stand.

Chairman Mao Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Phase 2: Buy houses behind Ateyo and swing the Williams stand around (probably add around 5,000 to capacity = 32,000 capacity) Phase 3: Wait for Council to demolish Council flats, buy land and redevelop the Dolman completly (add 5,000 to capacity) Total Capacity: 37,000+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LegionOfBrad Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 When did that change then?It hasn't. Prescription Act 1832. Easement. Basically if light has been uninterupted on a property for (I believe) 20+ years you cannot then go building giant buildings casting shadows where once there was light. With the Atyeo being to the south of the houses there would be huge shadows if it was higher. Its the reason its already cut off at the Williams side.http://lawcommission.justice.gov.uk/areas/rights-to-light.htm The south stand can build closer to its houses due to it being to the north of them. For the Atyeo to be rebuilt higher the houses either have to go or the club would have to own them and consent to the stand (the council probably would still deny permission in that case.)

Unfortunately there are regs limiting to where you can fly it in proximity of houses etc so it's quite tricky. I can however go quite high up from the park across like last time..

ZiderEyed Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I do hope, should the Atyeo be redeveloped, we don't become a bowl. One bit of the stadium rounded off looks good, 2 should be the max. Sod the extra capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention overbearing impact and loss of light are considered at the planning application stage so it's unlikely consent would even be granted for a larger stand. 27k will be fine for us for a while. Encouraging to hear on Monday that Griffiths is deadly serious about selling out every week once the redevelopment is complete. Absolutely what they should be aiming for, even if it means a cheaper pricing policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite some on here saying Barr are behind schedule, looking at these photos (to be confirmed tomorrow with my own eyes) I am confident that the new South Stand will be ready for next season.

ciderbeans Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 To allow a bigger expansion of the atyeo, could they not build an underground car park for players cars and team coaches? All that space behind the atyeo could then be built on with a concourse running behind it for fan access. Coach entry would literally be in one end, out the other. Would come at a cost, but would definately give our stadium something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
