To the Magnificent New East Stand 2008 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Page 2 and another
season further on! This is the start of the New extended North stand.

As you will see later
this helped increase Sixways to just over 9,000. I think it was 9,700. Kept below the 10,000 for logistic, legal and cast reasons

|
The standard view from
the side of the press and communications port-a-cabin As you can see it was considerably smaller than the East Stand |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The metal bases for the seats were going in really quickly and they have started to construct the cover | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A view along the stand showing how it was fabricated |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The roof has started to take shape and looks really foreboding on this horrible wet day | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The covering was being stretched over the top of the stand and finally the supporters would stay dry |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Almost completed as they
start to load in the seats. I don't think they should have had seats on the very bottom as it is so difficult to see the game from there |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Seats in |

 |
Roof on and ready to go | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 |
The close season saw the decision to change the shape of the East Stand Superstructure to provide covered bars | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The whole seating was
removed and solid steel structure to support concrete seat bases were
built in This gave all the space underneath |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
This was the season we also
got the "NEW" grass. The whole surface was removed and a lattice work nylon sheet was placed down and then covered in a mix of sand and soil laid in ridges. The idea was the grass would dig down and root around the nylon lattice work providing a similar surface to Franklyn's Garden |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The agreement with WRFC meant Cecil would build new pitches and changing facilities in exchange for a 125 year lease on the stadium land. Enabling Rugby Trading to negotiate with some big sports Center players |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The concrete bases for the seats was completed | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Now we started to see the
bars being built. Ended up with a Debenture bar and two "ordinary" supporter's bars |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
This is the main
supporter's Club bar down at the Southern end of the East Stand may not look much but there has certainly been some beer drunk in here |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The East Stand Debenture
bar. This could be classed as packed the amount of use it gets. A bit of a waste |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Here it is the outside of
the East Stand Go to week 1 and see how development has gone this season |
