Unfortunately the Project Team do not yet have access to the Forum to answer the questions. Hopefully, this will be resolved later today. In the meantime the answers are:
LSC funding
The loss of LSC funding will make no difference to the design. The Club are currently looking at how the space will be used but externally the stadium will look exactly the same.
New South Stand
The foundations are 70% complete but the steel has to wait until the thrust blocks have been completed. It is anticipated that the erection of the steel on the south stand will commence towards the end of September.
Ticket prices
We have not yet set the ticket prices for the Community Stadium but the Board has made a promise that it is not going to impose massive increases in ticket prices because we have moved into a new stadium.
Catering Contracts
We are preparing the catering tender documents now and local companies are going to be invited to tender.
Big Screens & floodlights
There will be two big screens one at each end behind the goals. The floodlights will be installed to meet current Football League criteria for Championship football but the cabling is future proofed for an increase in standards for when we reach the Premier League.
Progress
Yes it is on programme
