Alongside 2 artists impressions of the ground there are 5 detailed floor plans showing the proposed development of the pavillion and surrounding stands.

Shows the extra room set aside for media and players, the shop being re-located to the ground floor where currently sits the Banqueting Suite. Above the shop lies the main club offices and museum. Several large spaces for lounges/bars are shown. Looks potentially quite good to me.

Anyone else get a good look at these? Thoughts?

The CEO has gone on record as saying that there will be no permanant alterations made to the City End, so maybe we may only be down there 30 years*.

*Based on the fact that the "temporary" scoreboard which preceded the rubbish at the pavillion end was only there for about that long.

I like the new pictures of the new stand, though was somewhat intrigued that there is no pavillion as such - it is just a stand with media centre and more seats. (I appreciate that there are players changing rooms etc behind the scenes). I thought it looked pretty smart, but I can imagine that this might not appeal to the more "traditional" cricket fans who would prefer an actually pavillion.
Also, have we actually got the go ahead for a) the redevelopment and b) permanent floodlights? I was not aware that the fllodlights had been approved by the planning department.

Finally, and most importantly, have we actually got all the funds to pay for the development? I would suggest it would be a mistake to start knocking anything down before we had 100% of the funding in place, otherwise we could end up with a half built stand.

With the museum contained within the new development does this mean that the new building will not be for members only?
