Pop side seats have been done. All except the middle section, which looks a bit odd but they were only recently done in fairness! Is Block C counted as the middle section? The frame of my temporary seat was rusted and falling apart. Yeah if that’s the yellow block. It’s the seats that are that weird shade of metallic blue. All seem to now be in the yellow block and fresh seats in all the other blocks. |

Is the yellow block full of rusted, falling apart seats cos those that sit there constantly wee themselves during games? |

Them Yellow Block seats were from Maine Road weren’t they?
Also it’s not been reseated. Apart from the sponsorship on the inside back of the stand and the roof, it’s is not been touched for years.
Thousands of people pass the ground on trains every week. Does look scruffy, especially with the out of date advert.
Hopefully it’ll be flattened very soon for something much better anyway.

I saw with my own eyes it had been reseated last week. Either that or they’d polished them up really well and were lying to me. |

I stand corrected if they have re-seated there too. Didn't mention they were going to, unlike the CE.

Not sure if the upper tier seats have been changed but if not and the club wanted to be proactive maybe rail seats would be an option...
it would add safety...let's face it not many people sit down up there...and it would improve the atmosphere... it could easily be managed because you have to go up further steps to access that area...probably wishful thinking but a fair few clubs seem to be doing it. About 5 weeks ago, County's Twitter stated " All 5180 seats in the Cheadle End are also set to be replaced (and recycled) with brand new seats" 
Agree about rail seating, though. Maybe in the lower tier of the Pop side if/when it gets done? Don't think there's been wholesale replacement of any of the seats there recently... 
Cheadle end looking good and like it's going to be completed pretty soon.
But this view of the back corner of the Pop side looks a bit naff. A coat of dark blue paint along the upper back wall and roof edge and a proper sign (does that one have a Scandia advert on it?!) would look much better, and of course it's visible to anyone passing on trains... but maybe that stand is being left alone for now, as any improvements there may not be just largely cosmetic. Hope so! 
The Scandia advert has been there so long I’m starting to think it’s structural |

I can see the stockport express headlines reporting multiple garden fires breakout in the stockport area as county fans try to restore old cheadle end seats with a blow tourch🔥 |
