Revised plans for Revoe Sports Village submitted

"It is hoped to begin work next March, with the project due to be completed in January 2026."

I guess this is the key bit.
 
What are we looking at regarding the stadium here? I could be wrong but all I'm seeing is a nice little house for the pitch grow lights.

Well at least the adults are back in the room... 😂

I see their employment rights bill is classed as not fit for purpose, another blunder to add to the ever growing list.

Hopefully the sports village timeframe is right as we dont want anyone locked up for misinformation...

This is an amendment to that building yes but it gives somewhat of an update and some timeframes.
 
That new groundsman building appears to be located where a NE corner of the stadium would have been. That suggests we won't have a completely 'joined up' stadium when the East is built?
Also, have they moved the full size pitch around 90 degrees and put it closer to the ground? I thought the original plans had it parallel to Central Drive and further to the north and east - basically north of the petrol station?

That's what this and the stand leaked pic tells us, no corner, as they clearly currently feel that's where they'll store the pitch stuff.

No it's been like this for a while. The original plans were larger like this, keeping the car park where it is.

It unknown now what that land to the north, where the old karting / bowling place was.

It’s obviously happening - you can see with your own eyes surely ??? I don’t get why people post this stuff about the East stand. Do the compulsory purchase orders mean nothing ???

Maybe it's the whole Central Car Park debacle casting small doubts?
 
Another smokescreen,plans were past in january 23,but if no work been started in two years,then plans need to be submitted again,I think that’s how it works,but I could be wrong.
It will take more than 9 months to build aswell.
It took the club long enough to smarten a few flags up,lol.
 
I think the layout generally looks more compact and suitable for any community needs? The building in the corner is really awkward. It looks like they had no where else to put it and prevents and possible development of that corner. You wouldn't even be able to disguise it with cladding or an external wall given it's position. Surely a space for that equipment can be found under one of the stands? Lazy. Hope the planning committee knock it back.

I've seen a mock up of what the council want the club to do with the east and stadium. Its just an artists impression at this stage, but the east and corner can be built but will be a big multistory car park, the north may get converted too.

Even the lower tier of both those stands is way bigger than the one SS wants to build. One last chance to bring capacity closer to 20,000.. but no!

The costs of resubmitting plans are considerable and most consultants will want paying upfront. You are more or less correct with the rest except the original permission lasts 3 years but I assume these plans are a major amendment?

What picture? This one?

Because it looks fine to me, it's just a building next to the sports pitches and fencing, with the area landscaped and trees and modern benches added. Looks perfectly fine for what it is.

What were you expecting?

Will look crap not having a corner much better the stadium looking all as one connected

It's definitely a disappointment as it not only adds more capacity and onto the north too, our most popular area, but it completes the stadium. However it'll be no different to now really and the new stand image revealed to only the select few at the summer meeting looked good.

What will be the capacity of the new east stand? Surely it won't be less than the current stand

4600 I think, although lower figures were put out at one point, which would be silly, am sure this was clarified.

I believe capacity will be similar, maybe a tiny bit more...but it'll have far more usable capacity which is key.

I see we have a "Ground Person Building" At first, I thought it was a building where football offenders would be ground into dust, and applauded this move.

Then, I twigged it was just the club getting with the modern nomenclature.

Maybe the ground person building could double as a smoking shed on match days for all the North stand bifter afficionados? It does seem a bit OTT, Stan just used to rock up with his pitchfork and a bag of seed.

That's correct. We also played on a cabbage patch where he Trigger grazed before pulling the milk float.

The bigger the building the more it costs. It’s got to be suitable for likely needs.

Are those parking lots between the trees.Save money on white lines.

No if you look at the plans, it's clear, the current car park is where the big pitch is going and the car park will move to round the back near those newer houses.

They'll be plenty of trees planted too and that tired looking north side of the ground will look far superior, more welcoming.

Then it's just the east, once that is done and landscaped with trees etc the whole stadium will then be looking good all around and it'll be a huge difference in how it looks and feels.

Should that be no'person'clature.
I'm hoping they rebrand Manchester United into something else. Their name is all very non PC.
:)
 
From the 'proposed north elevation' graphic, it's clear the 'grounds' building isn't very tall. That means at some point, the non-adjoining edges of the north and east stands could be filled in/joined together above the grounds building, even if its footings aren't able to support the weight of a building above it.
Or, you could take the roof off the grounds building and fill it to the height of any floor above it.
No fuss.

Interesting no road access to the north or the west. How are the team coaches going to get in? Or is the wide pale grey path off the car park access actually a road?

As the existing road under the stand seems to go on round the north and link to field stret would they go from there maybe...

Bit of a sensationalist headline if the other plans are still there. Wonder what the thinking is behind this?

Reads like that groundsman hut thing would be OK as it was in the original plan or it's to change again from whatever this revised plan was? At least it's something of an update.

I heard a new application for the hut will go in and it'll serve pizzas, no idea what they'll call it though.
 
Just keeping it ticking along until he can get rid of the club. Should see some actual progress on this in time for the 2035/36 if the club still exists.
