That can't be right, eticketing shows the East Stand as being fully available. According to that though, the South Stand is 100% sold out.

Time to get the tickets for the East Stand bought then? A second final hurrah

Looking at that picture there seems to be a lot more room at the back of the stand than I first though! Surely there is enough room to put some parking in there.

**cwilliamson85** · 03-03-2010 12:26 PM

Not that much room for parking. You might get 1 line of cars down there but who would want to park there unless you leave early to miss the crowd. Or maybe you stay the full 90mins and miss the crowd due to everyone leaving early.

**NOLA** · 03-03-2010 12:27 PM

I take it there will be security around on saturday to stop anyone just wandering into whats left of the stand through the construction site?

I was actually thinking more for the disabled supporters. I know they have disabled parking beside the cemetry but if you are at the bottom of the road I would imagine it could be a bit much for some disabled supporters.

I think the police wander around the back of the east anyway as kids usually try and jump the fence and get into the game.

I would doubt there would be. Looks like it is taking about one day per floodlight and with only two left, they should be down and most, if not all, of the East Stand should be bulldozed by the time we turn up on Saturday

I some respects its sad to see as it's the last part of the stadium which has been there for many years but going forward it is significant progress for the club!

Let's hope that we get some top flight games once the new East stand is complete to justify the faith behind the decision to build it!

**K.Marx** · 03-03-2010 02:19 PM

christ they arent hanging around eh!

cant wait to see the foundations of the new stand though, really think E.R is going to look something special

they have already started taking the roof off on the left hand side

**cwilliamson85** · 03-03-2010 02:25 PM

Is it just me or why dont they just put a bulldozer into it, Get it down ASAP and get the new stand built. Watching the video withteh guy with teh blow torch taking seats out. Who honestly will pay £10 for seat? It it is not your seat why do you want it?

Get it built. I want it ready for the first game next season.

PETRIE!!!!!

**~~Speedway~~** · 03-03-2010 02:30 PM

It really was made out of nothing wasn't it?

That said, I'm still sad to see her go.

I always thought it was way overdesigned in terms of the number of columns, steel profile sizes, etc. for a simple roof.

Anyone spot the deliberate Health and Safety hazards in that clip?

Site manager will get his backside well and truly kicked for that one

Obviously no idea they were being filmed

***Mikey*** · 03-03-2010 03:07 PM

Can't say I did. Maybe some kindly passing yam will bring it to the attention of whoever it may concern, now you've raised it, and get everything stopped.

***johnrebus*** · 03-03-2010 03:08 PM

Sad, but it had to go.

Still remember the first game with the new roof, IICR it was V Aberdeen c. 1985?

Easier to reclaim bits that will be sold for scrap by the demolition company I presume.

Must be a blast living in those flats just now

Well done , U can't see me.

This is what we are all wanting to see...

Progress.

***.Sean.*** · 03-03-2010 04:04 PM

Horrible to see the stand like that. I've made friends in that section of the stand and have memories that will stay with me forever from 42. Bring a tear to a glass eye that.
