No point in being cynical with timing
We’ve cried out for it they are doing it. So can’t complain.
If anything it’s better than expected. Expected another kicking the can saying they have started feasibility etc
At least we know what they will be doing about it. Feel for wheelchair users in that position.
How will it work with removing the seats where will others go?

Great news. I wonder whats going to happen with people that have season tickets in the seats to be removed though
Have they mentioned anything about actually starting to reward loyalty
How's that going to work with the UB section moving to BF3 ?

No idea but disabled fans deserve the priority over them firstly

Maybe the plan is to put the w/chair fans in where UB are at the moment.

The board committed to revealing details of the development with a timeline at the AGM.
I hope the wait for our disabled supporters will be worth it. Perhaps without the delays embarrassing the board into action, this multimillion project would have been a lot less fit for purpose.
But I still give the board a lot of credit for finally getting it done. I'm not in the anti-board faction and I'm very happy with the running of our club.

Don't disagree but looking at those plans doesn't look possible for UB to move

Not before time.
From those drawings looks like the sections will either be right up the back of the Sandy jardine or in the middle of the Copland and broomie and well back from the elements.
They must be putting lifts in the stands also.
Takes up a large amount of space so will be interesting to see where those currently in those seats are being moved to and will this mean a significant capacity reduction.
Anyone who currently sits on or near the back 3 rows of the broomloan front or Copland front will be moved elsewhere.

Wheelchair section, unless raised and internal access wouldn’t be directly behind the goals but I’m hoping this is a proper well thought out plan that be if it’s those supporters that need that little bit more support.

Fan survey/moving Union Bears last week.
Signing off on redevelopment to boost disabled facilities today.
AGM tomorrow.
You can set your watch by it.

Looks like a row or 2 along the back of the lower stands. Seems sensible but would rule out standing in those sections

From the Herald article
Is that infront of the rear stands? Cant really tell.
Edit is the rear of the front sections as the rear sections arent shown.
It’s pathetic. Radio silence for 12 months since the last AGM then all of a sudden they start leaking things to get the fans off their back.

Yes the back rows of the Front sections

So this potentially means that fans in the Copland and Broomloan will lose their seats? Can see some people moaning about that.

They will have to be raised platforms to be able to see.
doesn’t matter if fans love or hate them it’s how the shareholders vote that matters

The drawing looks like the last couple of rows in the three stands will be removed and built up for wheelchairs.

I'm not sure if it's the last 3 rows as how would you access that? You have the stairwells In the way, they won't be adapting each stairwell

Needs to be done regardless of timing

Yeah
Certainly going to interesting how they do it in the Broomloan and Copland Stand as there is a retaining wall when you walk to the seating deck in the Sandy Jardine Front there isn't from memory

does that mean those in rows WXYZ of the sandy jardine front are now required to find another seating area?

You also have the overhang on SJ Rear.
have to presume there’s been no engagement with these ticket holders too, which will be a kick in the teeth given that bf3 are being consulted on their future

A lot of people across three stands that need to be moved, that away section that sits 3/4 empty for most games could be utilised before papping thousands of people out their seats

Yeh looks like any ST holders in the back 3 rows of the Copland and Broomie front will be relocated elsewhere in the stadium.
I’ve a mate who literally has sat under where the old scoreboard used to be in the back row of the Copland front for 40 years. I’m going to message him, he will bump his gums but at the end of the day it’s for the greater good.

If nothing, they’re predictable.
Pretty sure we’re going to be required by law to increase the number of disabled spaces and the access to them, so it’ll be done regardless. Those affected will be contacted in due course id guess
Yip there’s a small disabled area at the back of BF5.

Well I am shocked they’ve thrown something out to try and deflect attention away from real matters deserving answers tomorrow.
I suspect we’ll be told they’re going to have another study into safe standing too to try and deflect even further
You could be forgiven for thinking they’d been on the phone to Sir Duped today asking for ideas on deflection tactics
