There isn't time to do the Purslow plan before the Euros is there?
We'd still have two full summers if we wanted, either way we haven't much time
The Purslow plan involves demolishing the stand. The whole idea of the current design is for the stand to remain open during construction therefore reducing the loss in revenue and not having to play hugely important games with a building site behind the goal instead of fans. This is what's happening there's no chance of them reverting to Purslow design.
It was Percy, above, who said there was a whisper of a change of plan.
Yes, I understand why we are doing what we're doing but what happens if we discover during the work that the old structure is unsuitable? I seem to recall we had a plan in the 90s to raise the old Trinity roof and add a tier but that got scrapped late on.
All hypothetical at the moment but snags do happen. For what it's worth, I think the Purslow stand was to contain new dressing rooms among other things so it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that they could build a more simple stand, such as the one consented to this year, from scratch if they had to and in a faster time-frame.
