lorne st stand.

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

when ryder takes over at pv lets hope there is a concerted effort made to finish lorne street. a cheap option could be to make the unfinished half a standing area. in the championship peterborough have the visitors end as a terraced area so it can be done and a few quid cheaper to get in.

[v2001 out!!!]

they would have to relocate the shop for this to happen not worth it with our current gates

I'm sure it was posted on here some time ago that Vale have the seats already for Lorne St.If thats the case they should fit them even if safety issues prevent them being used.At least the stadium will look completed!!!!!!

I think its on the 'to do list' as it were, but certainly not the most important thing we need to do.

[BIRCHES HEAD WHITES]

if any part of the l/st is to be completed it should be the rw suite first . if the rw suite is completed ,once opened, it would i am sure bring in further commercial income and thus become of much needed benefit . i do agree that the seating needs to be added but atm it is not something which would bring in added business .

Regarding Peterborough, the Moyes End away supporters' terrace was used for the final time on 21st April. It was £20 admission to that part of the ground, with the seat price in the Main Stand at £25. The opposite end of London Road remains as terracing for now, although should Posh retain their Division Two status then this will inevitably be not long for this earth.

Don't think that they can do that - the terracing is too steep for standing - health & safety. If we have the seats I would fix them so it at least looks better.

[For Us All]

The completion of the Lorne St.Stand is way down on the list of priorities imo:-

 

1.RW Suite

2.Railway & Bycars bogs.

3.Tunnel Clock

4. Lorne St.stand

The concrete area of the unfinished half of the Lorne Street Stand cannot be used for standing as the angle and rake are different for standing than seating.

 

The current setup of the stand is for seating therefore it can never be used as a standing area, hence why it has remained like it has for 10 years or more.

[Tosh]

I've stood many times in a seated area, what would be the problem with allocating a seated area for standing if you know what I mean? Everyone would have their own space for safety but allowed to stand like most do at the Bycars end of the Paddock during the second half.

I think with the German standing/sitting system each space/seat has a handrail to cope with the H&S issue.

to be honest would prefer money was spent on the pitch

Tbf the pitch has held up ok this season. I think speedy deserves a medal for keeping it in a decent condition. Some of the other pitches at this level are worse than a school playing field

I was just going to write the same thing, the German mixed seating and standing model means that the same rake can be used, so if we could get standing back that part of the lorne street could still be used as terrace.

Thanks for the pics, could not remember where they were. Must be more expensive than ordinary seats, but no doubt worth while at the likes of Dortmund. Whether English rules will ever allow it when the cheaper version with ordinary seats and turning a blind eye is cheaper. Do not the handrails obstruct the view during all-seater games?
