Initial plans were for the Main Stand, Railway and Pop to be joined but would cost a lot more to do this. On the revised plans it’s 4 individual stands with no connection. That’s a shame Roman. If it is necessary to do it later it will cost a lot more than doing it now. It is what it is, as SR would annoyingly say!!

If the current plans are all completed it would give a capacity of around 18,000, if we get to that number I don’t seen any likelihood at all of adding any further to it. It was considered and decided it was too costly but we’re still looking at a superb stadium if everything is delivered upon.

It'll be way more than a thousand. England games bring people out, especially if you make a thing of it. Be that friendlies, u-20/21/18, women, etc... It certainly was a decent attendance when we hosted England U-18 V France U-18, about 25 years ago - just looked it up - 8,260 were there - and we had smaller fanbase, resources, exposure, marketing potential, etc..back then. I had a look. Last year's games vs Italy and Portugal 1,700-4,700. More than I expected but justification for not opening the whole ground straightaway. If its advertised enough we certainly could beat the 4,700 figure even if its a glorified youth team international friendly. As a game itself it could be far more interesting and cheaper to go than for senior friendly game at wembley and thats with what County charge for food.

Forgive me please if this has already been mentioned in the thread so far. With the building of a new popside stand and a new railway end stand, both similar developments to the Cheadle End stand. Would it be possible to join these stands together, and not shown in the pictures, like they have done at Plymouth, Stoke and other stadiums thus providing extra setting in the two southern corners of our ground? No thanks, it looks awful

A lot of the time corner seats in bowls end up not being used for segregation purposes as well. I’m happy not having the corners filled in, even though I’ve always felt like the Railway/Popside corner should be filled.

I am hoping for 4 distinct stands - nothing worse than seeing a ground you’ve been to on the telly and having no idea which bit you were in!

Has anyone found out what phase 5 and phase 10 is? Yeh - phase 10 is 2 x more serious than phase 5 and phase 5 is half as serious as phase 10. The stewards stand around scratching their arses (hairy or otherwise) for both!🥳

My take on this is phase 5 means show your muscles and it will quell the naughty boys and phase 10 is step down phase 5 is complete. 😵💫

Hearing the phase calls from the family stand, I expected to see multiple hi-viz jackets in the Cheadle end suddenly lower to a squat position and expose their weapons. But bizarrely, none of them moved. I won't be at the next home game so please update me with any further phase actions.
