I was under the impression that to make the City stand worthwhile the road behind it would need to be purchased.
Probably, although I can't imagine that there'll be too much of an objection to that from the council or locals.. If not we'll just end up with a very steep stand.
I would doubt very much that this could be made safe through the season for seating. They could probably still use the changing rooms but not too much else. If the purchased the road behind they could put in foundations and groundwork of the new stand and then demolish the current city stand after the season. Not sure though.
...........ricoh arena anyone? what a souless waste of money. no thanks, stay with what we have and improve it. new city stand and/or second tier on jarrold.
