I understand the extended part of the stand will include a small concourse area underneath it. 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? Up until two days ago, I was gutted you couldn’t have a beer in the stands. But after seeing the Swiss fans’ reaction to their (disallowed) goal against the Scots, I feel it’s a small price to pay for not having to get changed and have a shower after a game. I’m clearly not “ultra” enough…

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. 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. That was certainly how Tom Mahon described it at the Jameson’s event

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. Just noticed that the East stand (Railway End) will be constructed with Blue Glazed Brick on both ends That will look smart and adds a bit of weight to my painted brick thinking...although i conceed the point ... The DB stand extention will be painted 6 – Blue glazed brick masonry - colour SCFC blue (RAL 5003) on the elivations Key

Most clubs in the lower leagues would throw up some coloured cladding at best. The Main Stand looks impressive too with the additional tunnel and concourse. I've been waiting a long time to see plans like this.

Suppose we could discuss for ever which should start first but feel any main stand work should be at the back of the list. someone said on here week or 2 ago (I can't remember who) that they had spoken to someone and they said pretty much what was said that the main stand would start in January and then the railway end next summer which would probably make sense Whilst on the tour Steve Bellis alluded to Main Stand work starting in Jan 2025 (knocking down the building with the Odin sponsor on etc) and work to begin on Railway End that summer.

Hopefully they can make a start on the Railway End by doing as much groundwork as possible before the demolition of the stand(shouldn't take long) so that we can retain a 10K capacity.

We've talked on here before about how the CE was built in about 7 months, and is architecturally utter dogshit (okay the second part of that is mainly me). If that was the timescale in 2025 and we ended up with a godawful CE clone, I'd much rather they take a year and do it right (which to be fair, I'm sure they will)

The CE is sound. Especially after it's full facelift, it's like having a new stand again. Was mind blowing watching that being built behind the old shit CE steps. I remember it being incredible going through the gate for a look when it was just finished. That's why I can't wait for the new stuff to start. Much needed.

Love the little bits they’ve looked at as well, noticed the height of the railway end is going to be identical to the Cheadle End. Going to look proper smart.
Hopefully we can get to the championship as planned so we can see the full plans before Stott passes the baton onto someone new!

I'm sure someone who has got as much property as stott does and much bigger property than edgeley Park will know what we can do. There's indication of that in the way of the ground improvements are gradual and not just all at once

Not a criticism, just reality.

In a few years time we will be pinching ourselves as we stand there thinking this is magnificent
