Bear in mind its £16 to sit there, £304 for the season.

Plus it looks like it a 'new generation' of temporary stands? It looks just like framework design , ie No concourse facilities as such actually inside the stand, I bet if they do get planning for the new stadium they'll do what Farnborough Town did with the new stand and Unbolt it fold it up and move it with them, Stanley could easily have the same size stand like this on the halfway line with a few steps of terracing each side and an open concourse, like the rest of the ground for now. And it the worst comes to the worst unbolt it, fold it up and sell it on. The cut and shut world of football grounds has been giong on for years? The roof over the away end at Port Vale use to be Chester Citys Main Stand at Sealand Rd, just cut and bolted to a diff shape. When alot of grounds close ie Ayesome Park, Victoria Ground, Leeds Rd, Baseball Ground to name a few not only do souveneir hunters stake a claim to items so do many non-league and few league clubs. Leeds Rd is a classic example a buisness bought some crush barriers for there car park, a fan bought a toilet seat rumoured to have been used by Bill Shankley and I think it was Rushden and Diamonds who took the scoreboard.
