New corner stands for disabled fans - any updates?
If I understood correctly the club said that these would be built ready for next season and that building would commence in January. If this is the case, has any work started? Has anybody heard if planning is all signed and agreed. I think the timescale is tight even if they were to start work this month.

Was at the Q&A at Turf last night, believe they said work is due to start next week

Next week, or touch and go equates to a long time, or longer than stipulated:)

I hope it does get sorted soon but it did look like the plans had been drawn on the back of a fag packet.
Hope the calculations weren’t.

Re: New corner stands for disabled fans - any updates?
When they said "next week" I think they meant work on the detailed architectural design rather than breaking ground. Assuming the previously-seen artists impressions were the most presentable part of the work done before Christmas, the contractor will be a long way off receiving the completed set of construction drawings. And there's the submission of the planning application to consider. That'll be at least eight weeks.cav wrote:Was at the Q&A at Turf last night, believe they said work is due to start next week

I know that work is due to commence after the Manchester United game, for certain.

No, I just recall seeing that CTU was involved with the screen at some point.tybfc wrote:Or do you suspect some sarcasm knowing it isn't going to start this week?
Re: New corner stands for disabled fans - any updates?
Given plans haven't even hit the council website it will be a fair time before any building starts. The close season seems the obvious option to start the work.

The club will just apply for permission retrospectively won't they?
No one at the council would have the stupidity to turn down a minor application from the biggest company in its borough.

Doubt that as the new stands have to be in place by the start of next season.aggi wrote:Given plans haven't even hit the council website it will be a fair time before any building starts. The close season seems the obvious option to start the work.

Surely they can start construction whenever everything is ready. Its not going to interrupt anything during match days, other than the tele

They don't need planning to do any of the pre work that will be required. Planning only kicks in when they break the soil and start groundwork.

Re: New corner stands for disabled fans - any updates?
From my planning committee experience at a similar Council to Burnley I am sure the planning officer would have been kept fully informed of the planning work and the Council's disability access officer will have been actively engaged at all stages of the design process to date. As it is a planning application in order to meet a statutory imposition it is almost implicit that planning consent must be given unless there are SIGNIFICANT implications affecting a protected area of land or a listed building, for example

Is there any update. Has any work started
Re: New corner stands for disabled fans - any updates?
Went past today, and nothing looked to have been started, certainly no heavy machinery around.
Re: New corner stands for disabled fans - any updates?
According to the video on the official site they said they had to be ready by August 2018
Re: New corner stands for disabled fans - any updates?
Well it wont be, certainly not to a very high standard if it is. 6 months to fully complete 2 quite large structures fit for purpose and ready for public use is very optimistic.Spijed wrote:According to the video on the official site they said they had to be ready by August 2018
I think there has to have been a snag, ammendment to the design or a change to the completion date.

Was talking to a friend today and he said the screen had been removed and the marquee that housed the fanzone had been removed in readiness.

Was round there last night at the ETC the screen has gone as shown in claptrappers photo and the fanzone is now over near the training centre
Re: New corner stands for disabled fans - any updates?
Any ideas where the screen will be relocated once all the building work has been finished?

There’s a few ideas, but it’s still to be confirmed, there will be a temporary one installed for the final 7 games.

It's be far easier to just paint new disabled car parking signs in some different bays.

The big screen
Walked past the turf on the way home tonight and notice its been dismantled. Either by the gypsies up towneley or more likely for the new disabled stands.
Anyone know if its being replaced and if so where it will go? Hopefully not in the cfs again. Perhspd the roof of the bob lord or the corner of the cfs?

Re: The big screen
It is not being replaced because it would cause lots of arguments if they had to show things from the VAR. The FA has decided that it would be better to keep the fans who attend matches in the dark as to what happens in a review, thus avoiding any controversy!

Re: The big screen
Bullnose volvo unit with a fancy trailer which the screen was attached to, probably very expensive.
Don't know what is shown on the screen I've never seen it, I sit in the jhu.

Re: The big screen
It is going to be attached, to the front of the longside and used as a roof extension, for those in the lower tier.

Re: The big screen
It was brought in to fulfill obligations to the sponsors who have shelled out for the season already, plus it brings in a lot of matchday revenue rather than Premier League requirements.ClaretAL wrote:My son shows it in his Vlog. Must have cost a bit to meet premiership regulations presumably
The the system they hired in was a SkyFly, really impressive peice of kit.
Re: The big screen
The wind breakers on the sides of the 2 main stands could do with a good clean, they are manky.

Re: The big screen
The sides of the stands probably need replacing to be honest. I mean the semi (lightly used) transparent ones only. The stands were cleaning over the summer and look a hell of a lot better for it, but those ones must be getting towards the end of their life.
Regarding the screen it wouldn’t bother me if it disappeared completely. I only use it to look at player names of the opposition, and they only show the teams for about 10 minutes of the 90. It’s basically an advertising screen, like we don’t have enough already.
