Nemesis
SERIOUSLY!
For those that haven't seen it. I believe this is Colchester's new ground
A hell of a lot better than this though.......

I am not sure about this. If I got planning permission to build a house in a Cotswold Village in that nice orangey-stone and thatch much used in the area, and then tried to slap something up with the same dimensions but in red brick and with loads of white UPVC because I couldn't afford nice wooden sash windows any more I think I might run into problems!!
Isn't it the same principle here?
You are talking about the detailed planning permission, we don't have that for the stadium yet, all we have is permission to build a stadium with a certain capacity and that has certain planning restrictions on it.
The silence from the club is a bit deafening here. .

I have asked the mods to change the thread title to remove the 30,000 seats bit as the Argus got in touch with me to say that it is wrong and the sub editors got it wrong
Apologies to everyone x x

Is it? So who are the quotes from in the story then?
Don't know about this exactly, but there is an extra building outside the stadium 'the Teletubbies Stand', which was not part of the original plans. That will account for a fair whack of the extra land. Don't know if it accounts for an extra 9,000 sq.m. though.
I assume a cost-cutting measure, but it's not integral to the stadium design - more an aesthetic thing. Could be made of wool for all I care.
This was mentioned at Hove Town Hall months ago.
This was also mentioned at Hove Town Hall months ago. LDC don't actually have any objections over this.
This is tied in with the Teletubbies Stand development.
A tad concerned with one or two aspects of it, but most of this is in the public domain already. Concerned, but not too much, unless there is something not being said as a result of all this.
Oh, and Baker - belt the f*** up, you shit-stirring cretin.
That's a good point about the Teletubbies building, I forgot about that. That will be the extra space for City college that is mentioned.
Does anyone get the feeling that the Argus is being a bit sensationalist here.
if falmer ends up looking like that shithouse in colchester it will be a huge anticlimax and disappointment

None of which, unless I am mistaken, mention the grass bank.
At the moment, bearing in mind what has been placed in the public domain already, I'm struggling to see what the big problem is here.
There's one quote from Martin Perry. Do you not think with news of this apparent magnitude, that the club should maybe try and tell the fans rather than them having to hear through the local paper and getting rather concerned as a result?
As opposed to the alternative-Withdean. I'll settle for disappointment. And a roof.
Can't agree with you there.
Like it or not, thousands of people objected to the stadium. Especially because it fringes the downs. Part of overcoming that objection was a design which makes it as unobtrusive as possible.
Now that we need a cheaper and more intrusive option, objectors will see another chance to try and torpedo the project. And they will claim that is is much more of a blight than the original plan.
I hope they fail of course but I don't think we can just shrug this off.
