On a serious note from a very quick look first thoughts are mostly positive, couple of minor reservations 1. No standing it would appear 2. temp stands always have the supports in the front that obscure a bit of the view.

Those sitting at the back of the stands will not be able to see much of the ball should it be kicked to any reasonable height due to the lack of height on the roof.

Yes the standing areas at the front of three of the 4 stands are visible on the elevation drawings. Also looks like there are no side or rear walls to the stands on the 3D visuals. That's going to be LawrenceBryce exposed in the depth of winter if it's the case. Hoping it's just artistic licence on the visuals but will check the plans in detail tonight at home.

Have to assume that the players will use the changing rooms in there too? Not ideal both in terms of the walk to and from the pitch and also if there is an HIA it will take the 10 mins to get to and from the sheds!

The planning reference number is 18/02489/FUL, for anyone who needs to search for it.

So not ideal but a good start I think.
Are wanderers being kicked out? Whats happening with their clubhouse, its a good space and could work well as a base.
