At a guess I'd say this is the original main stand for the Barr design ?greenroberts":hsi4zuec said:After visiting the consultation and having a week to think about the proposal I have come to the conclusion that the main reason for lack of support clearly evident amongst the green army is the lowering of the ground capacity, already slashed over recent decades. Therefore the lack of a proper second tier is the real issue. With this in mind, and also bearing in mind the need to keep the rest of the development (hotel/cinema/ice rink) intact which no doubt makes the whole thing financially viable I have drawn what I believe would be a quite workable solution for consideration here. This would give a full second tier, but maintain rest of the current details. An external structure would be required to enable the columns shown supporting the cantilever roof to be removed but this would fit between the stand and adjacent buildings. No doubt some additional internal space would be required to cope with the additional capacity - wider fire escapes, more toilets etc. - but I would think these could be accommodated. So here it is:
The very one that was planned at the time of the balcony promise ten years ago. If we're goi g for a carv up this had got to be a happy medium neither side should have a problem with.
