New east stand

Les Simmons ?

The former grounds man who was at the Vic for years...

 

Those thin guys in red look like our defence - McKinlay's sharp. he's spotted our weakness already & is working on it...

 

So is the bit to be used Saturday between the black seat covers?

 

Almost 350 Watford fans will try the view from the new Community Stand during tomorrow’s match against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The supporters, known as ‘promise holders’ due to a commitment made by the club to prioritise their return when fans were moved out of the old Main Stand and Family Enclosures, will be the first to return to the east side of the stadium if the view is to their liking.

The former East Stand season ticket holders will sample the view from the central and northern blocks of the stand, which is due to open fully when Cardiff City visit the Hornets on Saturday, November 1.

The Hornets have confirmed that while there will be no transfer or supplementary charges for those wishing to migrate to the Community Stand for the remainder of this season, there will be a new pricing tier for the stand from 2015/16 onwards – falling in between the Upper Graham Taylor Stand and the rest of the stadium.

There will be an opportunity for other existing season-ticket holders to relocate to the Community Stand once this process has been completed.

 

One wonders what facilities are available round the back? As there are only 350 maybe Troy and Fernando could run a tea stand.

 

With people sitting in part of the new stand tomorrow, I wondered if they had been waiting since this was published.

I've noticed black vertical stripes in the rows of seats, what do you think they are going to do?

 

Post 363 same question, I reckon it delineates the area they'll use tomorrow with access through the central stairs therein... makes sense

 

When it is done, do you think we'll get a sell out this season?

 

Almost certainly. I'll stick the neck out now and say Norwich.

 

Thanks Aberdeen, teach me to take in more of what I read. As you said ... Makes sense.

 

Great view and certainly got the sun when it came (and rain..)

Big toilets and loads of space underneath.

Looks good.

 

Is there photograph of supporters in the new stand?

 

teething test passed then....

 

That is good looking.

 

Hurry up get a roof on before the snow comes

 

There are some pictures here of the concourse beneath the stand as it is at present.

The people I have heard from who were seated in it were very impressed with the view. They also were pleased to find hot water in the toilets and good hot air hand dryers.

 

The roof was probably going to be put on starting today - but I think it's too windy.

 

The safety barriers and netting are going up on the roof steelwork today, so the cladding is not far away.
