The Thomas Powers Stand is covered standing spectating with a capacity of 1095.
Even though it is brand spanking new and named after the family which owned the
land the Stadium is built on, it will still probably be known as 'the Shed'. |
West Stand |
Currently the West Side is hard standing for 586 spectators.
This stand is due for completion for end 2005,6,7,8 9. (but we have heard that line
before...) Once completed, the West Stand will be covered seated spectating with
a capacity of 500, plus hard standing. The junior facilities and changing rooms
have now been completed and are situated behind this end. |
Segregation |
Should the need arise for segregation then away fans will be allocated the
West End of the ground. Sorry, but this means it's all uncovered hard standing
with a capacity of 850. Also 80 seats will be allocated at the west side of the
Main Stand, meaning a total segregation capacity of 930. The Away Turnstiles are
only operable when segregation is in place.
Should the need arise, it is possible to extend the segregation point into the North
Stand, increasing the away capacity up to 1200.
