Perhaps the last one got off track, so the thread is locked but I've received the annual members update from TFSC in the post today. This includes a few key items for Vallis Way improvements:
1. New small stand built seating 111, bringing total seated to 2115. 2. East Stand Bar added. 3. Existing screen being refurbished, and smaller outdoor screen being added. 4. Plan for additional new stands before new year stated by Sir Mike Gooley. |

Northampton had scaffolding stands for a while in 1998

Quins did in the 90s too, obviously Bath have a demountable stand still now, Tigers did from roughly 2003 to 2015 before we built the replacement for the clubhouse. Exeter's two end stands are less permanent than they sometimes look. Saracens' end stands come down in the summer too for athletics.
Could be a very good solution for Ealing.

Blues have done a bit of work to the ground, not quite Ealing standards

This was a well written update that made me chuckle, especially the bit about sprucing up the ref room to get more decisions.

The article link above states that the replacement of the main grandstand roof was unplanned and will now meet the new safety certificate standards. What was the problem ? |

I’m not sure but it was very old and probably the original one so as standards change I guess it wasn’t fit for purpose. One of the sponsors stepped in quickly and did it for cost.

I believe that the roof suffered damage from adverse weather conditions.
