SUFC: The Future RH Redevelopment

[onceknownasrab]

As we are talking years for the major development to complete, if it is started, are there any plans to freshen up other areas or are we expected to poke up with incredibly poor conditions? It's questionable if some areas are genuinely fit for use and the word 'insanitary' is a politeness.

Current capacity for East Stand is 2,636 (from OS)

Roots Hall boundary shown below

25 Roots Hall Avenue bit of a pain in the bum for development of the East. Guarantee the people In those new flats will complain about lack of light from any East Stand development.

IIam sure I’ve seen it somewhere before. A picture of all the land (and property)in and around the club owned by the club. I’m thinking revenue opportunities must extend beyond what could be offered in any rebuilt stand?

Very early on Justin mentioned how large the car park was and that maybe not all the parking was needed and hinted at the possibility of some property development. Personally I'd have thought that if they're having large conference/function facilities then a large car park would be necessary for that.

Someone living there complained about the football!

Yeah, but to be fair, that's all a collective of regular posters do on the Zone.

Didn’t know there were people living in a building site.

Something like that, but could we have corners to join up the north and south to the new east

1. Any corporate facilities wouldn't be in use on a matchday
2. There would still be some car parking
3. The stadium is in the city centre between two train stations and on the route of at least 10 different buses

Don’t worry they won’t have a Right to Light as it takes 20 years to acquire it.

He must have moved in before 1955, so I do feel sorry for him ...

That guy lived in the flats now on the South Bank and was an Arsenal fan so he can fro

Doubt that is possible unfortunately

Maybe not the right thread for this but is there any plans to open up Southend high school for extra parking on match days, or something similar?

Being discussed.

I appreciate there wouldn't be a clash between match day parking and conference facility use, and that some parking would be retained. But if you want to attract weddings and conferences to the town then bus routes and train stations aren't going to be enough - adequate car parking will be, imho, essential.

What is current car parking capacity?

No idea. I get the train or bus to the ground.

Looking at Google maps if you exclude the Club and match officials spaces I reckon about 250.

@Somerset Ex-TTB No that was from someone living in the flats directly behind the South Stand. The ones at 25 Roots Hall Avenue, as has already been said, are not completed yet.

Anyway, if memory serves me correctly, the complainant was a Gooner!!!
