The areas being marked as part of the plan include the away coaches parking area on the old Booth St, presumably they must be part of the land covered by the council lease to the club then. New Railway End to be exactly the same height as the Cheadle End The list of nature reserves within 2000m somehow missed the 'Edgeley Wildlife Reserve' The old maps within the desk study are fascinating

Why yuk on the Main Stand extension? Keeping the facade is a big part of what this development is getting right and the extension looking different would be hideous. keeping the facard... that's brilliant..its just painted brick..I don't liked it...never have.. clean up the original keep it as it is ...yes agree with that..but why paint brick on the new build Glazed brick or a host of modern materials would compliment the old girl It doesn't matter what I think ...the planning is in for a painted brick extention Even if period bricks could be found and used where the old stops and the new starts will always stand out. Think painting the whole thing the same is the best option.

Looking at the plans it looks like the main stand expansion/refurb includes a concourse area so hopefully this might mean alcohol can finally be served in the stand.
Not sure how it would be doable though even if the plans imply it!

It's a pity the Bergara extension doesn't seem to be planned to extend all the way to the Cheadle End, leaving that odd corporate building that's there at the moment (unless I'm missing something).
Also, might be heretical to say it, but I'd love for away fans to be put in the CE or Bergara. When everything's done, they'll be the worst two stands, so it'll be a shame to give away fans some of the best seats. Probably more difficult to segregate the CE, but the Bergara would be easy enough as part of the development.

Won’t be huge but a big improvement on the current facilities.

Not in the plans submitted as far as I’ve seen , but is mentioned on COWS this morning as being the final stage of the plan

So decades away at best, if at all. Shame, not least because the façade looks unbalanced from Hardcastle Road (minor point, but still)

It can’t be done until the Pop is done at a later date as the directors hospitality is there. Once the Pop is done (if ever) and the hospitality areas are done then the Main Stand will be extended to the Cheadle End. The Pop will also include changing rooms so I’m guessing the whole underside of the Main Stand will then be a concourse.

Won’t be huge but a big improvement on the current facilities. Steve Bellis did mention the stadium tour that the plans would allow people to buy a beer in the Danny Bergara Stand, so that would support that theory as it would need to be away from a view of the pitch. Perhaps it'll be later down the line when the dressing rooms are moved over to the new Pop?

Way i have read it is the main stand extension will start early 2025 but no date on what i feel is the most needed development the railway end. Suppose we could discuss for ever which should start first but feel any main stand work should be at the back of the list.

Presumably they’re wanting some extra seats in before closing the Railway End, probably for the majority of a season if not a full season

I think they are doing the 600 extra seats in the main stand first to help offset the seats that will be lost once the Railway End is closed off for work to commence. That way the club will have a reduction of 766 seats instead of 1366 when work starts on the Railway End.
