I took the rest of the development to be the retail/residential/restaurant elements as well as the fourth side, so not necessarily a 3-5 year wait for a Main Stand. That said, you never know...
Personally I thought although it looked very nice there are some concerns regarding the stadium. Family stand behind the goal? Next to the away fans? And an entire main stand devoted to corporate punters?
The SUFC guy I spoke to was very cold on the safe standing idea. Apparently it would cost millions in modifications to exits, etc. I'm not so sure and will continue to bang that drum. Couldn't find anyone from Populous to ask about it, they'd be more in the know about that type of thing.
I couldn't see any sign of a supporters pub either, that idea appears to have quietly been dropped.
This stadium thing may well happen now but I saw little to give me confidence that it will be built with supporters in mind.
