Dressing room and away fans

Those 3D views do not show the extendable tunnel.

Regardless, the tunnel can only follow the path from the dressing room door, i.e. to the bottom corner of the Barn Park End.

Nope, the tunnel will be at an angle.

Jon Back said: “As a fan I’m very mindful that the players will come out between the home fans and the away fans.

“So just to maximise the benefit a bit more of being at home we will build it at a slight angle.

“We are going to look to commission a bespoke extending tunnel that will bring them just a bit further out to the pitch and a bit closer to the Green Army.”

It strike me that unless sky lights are put into the roofing, that there will not be a huge amount of natural light into the respective rooms, especially from the rear.

I can't think of ANY dressing rooms that have natural light, normally these things are in the 'bowels' of the stadium and as a private inner sanctum probably wouldn't want any windows anyway.

The latest 3d images posted today, Jan 15, continue to show the exit from the dressing room to be adjacent to the BP End, a low wall is shown up to the end of the pathway. The drawings for the stage 2 infill show that at that time the tunnel will be closer to the home fans.

Neither set of drawings shows a tunnel. They both show the dressing-room building door. An extendable tunnel is not a permanent structure so would not need planning permission. Jon Back has said there will be an extending tunnel to bring the teams out nearer to the home fans.

To be honest, if the home support can't make more noise than the outnumbered away support for 30 seconds, there is something wrong.

Large away followings are ALWAYS louder than the home fans. Especially the ones that will be in the grandstand.

Couldn't agree more.
The atmosphere at Home Park is hardly intimidating. Embarrassing at times to be honest.

I didn’t mean that as an Argyle thing, more a football thing.

I think the atmosphere at HP is better than most grounds, and will obviously be much better with four sides.

I think you can now see where the door from the dressing room will be, the brickies have left a gap on the wall they are building.
