Firstly, I love the remodel and think it’s bringing Home Park bang up to date.
But I still get aggravated looking at the east end of the grandstand. For me it’s such a shame the stand doesn’t stretch to the Barn Park goal line which would certainly balance up the aesthetics. I’d have liked to have seen the extension of the cover even if there wasn’t an extension of the seats. The gap left could have been used to accommodate the control room above the entrance and made a more utility area. Maybe at the back of the east end grandstand could eventually be used as a scoreboard screen. At least then all the seats in thegrandstand could be utilised.
The west end could then be tidied and perhaps have a fill in to match up the grandstand to the Demport in the hope that’s at some point safe standing could be incorporated in that corner.
Once again, it’s not a gripe about the rebuild just that it is one of my bugbears.
