    Gillingham's away stand

    Apparently it collapsed yesterday during the storms.
    If true then how will this affect us for our last game..

    Three sides of Wimbledon ,s new ground are temporary and terraces are built out of steel rather than concrete.
    I was speaking to one of their stewards outside the ground before KO who had seen them right through non league, the crazy gang days and the fa cup win so he was very passionate.
    He said the idea behind it was that up to three stands can be easily removed with a crane and large stands replacing them if they go up the leagues and their attendances rise

    Yeah. great idea. When we built NYS the largest girders went in to the East stand with the idea of just taking the roof and building over the turnsyles and bars with another tier above/behind the present one. The East side is the only one not covered by the footprint of the ground.
