In that picture, behind the East stand is a big hill that is lush green. Is that still part of the plans ? thought that had been changed ?

"The north stand − which will house away supporters − is positioned behind one of the goalmouths and incorporates a single tier of seating."

:eek:

Didn't the article in New Steel Construction or something (I just remember NSC was its acronym) say the same thing about the North Stand?

Where are they getting their misinformation from?

I think there's still going to be a hill (as it's already there), just with nothing in it.

it also said incorrectly that it would be open at the start of next season like this one does.

This looks to be more or less the same article to me. Still, as seecider says, nice to see interest in the stadium in the construction industry. Must be one of the major projects under way at the moment. How many stadiums are being built? I can only think of Chesterfield and us. Also, perhaps with the recession, there is not much being built at the moment. Certainly, roads construction is virtually at a halt (though that is more as a result of government policy). Only major road being built at the moment is the conversion of the A1 to motorway, and at least one skyscraper in London has been put on hold.
