Have the plans for the station even been submitted? Will there be anything significant there, other than better queueing system? No new platforms, and certainly no new tracks to accommodate extra post-match trains.This will probably mean a big hold-up, as it's not even mentioned in any of the future transport plans for the region.Even new lifts, access and space for queues is a £10m - £15m job... who is going to pay for that? Us probably!It can’t need much more than a platform extension and access egress onto station road throw in a footbridge over railway for foot traffic from new academy site a lick of paint for the bridge job done. That will be £20m please.

When was the mooted time of completion, sometime during second part of 2024/25, was it?
Our beloved local paper now reporting that work will only start on the new North Stand when plans for an upgraded Witton station have been approved, and as nothing seems to have been discussed yet, that's surely going to set it back by quite a while?

A planning application has gone in for a 180 capacity terrace on the Upper Holte. There's seating and a bit of a canopy planned. Application number 2023/01507/PA

I propose the instillation of two large nets, one outside the Holte, one at New St, and two extra-large trebuchets (10 people per, er, journey) in the same locations. We wouldn't have to bother with all this expansion of Witton station nonsense. We can just crack on.
