I haven’t gone though it all yet, but from what I’ve seen of the proposed ‘East’ stand it’s not immediately apparent how you’d segregate that into home and away fans, which was the plan I thought?

I note from the proposed ground floor plan that the new Railway End will have its concourse split in two halves.
Since the document specifically mentions "4No Turnstiles (Visitors)", I guess the plan will be for the southern portion of the RE to be allocated to away fans? Perhaps only sometimes, since that corner also allows access to the Pop Side away section. Not sure how the 500ish execs will feel about being sat directly next to the rowdy away supporters.
Another thing to note is that the new Control Box will be in the top corner of the RE. I had thought that the Main Stand extension would come first, but that would necessitate demolishing the old Learndirect building that the current control box occupies, and you can't host an event without one.

The "East stand" will be the new family stand. Suspect we in the popside the ones who will be sacrificed on the alter of larger away followings. Same as it ever was.

Looks like Duncan has read it properly and the Railway End will be segregated after all, ignore me. Us popsiders will sacrificed on the alter of corporate and executive types longer term, and quite possibly away fans while the Railway End gets re-done.

Actually looking at the documents the one titled “indicative phasing’s) does show the North Stand as being plan 1A and the railway end as plan 1B so assume there will be some temporary relocation.

Lots of things to talk about but to get to some small details i noticed The DB stand roof change looks great ......its still going to have painted brick on the new extention walls (yuk) The knotweed problem has been treated for the last 2 years on all areas....... the enviromental impact on wildlife, Fauna/Flora can be mitigated according to experts At the county consultation stage a large section of replies asked for safe standing but it hasnt yet been applied to any planning application (YET)

Keeping the facade is a big part of what this development is getting right and the extension looking different would be hideous.

I suppose the club don't want to commit costs to anything they can't be certain of just yet.

Presumably a temporary control box will be put in place somewhere else in the meantime? I'd guess at the CE/MS corner, where a studio box goes for the occasional TV game.
