Dartford's is nice and original, why not just a larger and slightly different version of that?
All these complicated designs are going to cost a lot and whilst DV may have the money, for 1,800 is it really worth it?

If the stadium is being built on Gloucestershire countryside - God's own country - then every effort should be made to conceal the stadium and make it blend into the environment. Brighton's new stadium is the same. It is sunk into the ground with lots of green landscaping so when you are in the South Downs the impact of a stadium is minimised.
why doesn't he bolt on another service area like the one on the M5 at Gloucester. Nice place that, well hidden. He might get a few more on top of the 1800 on a Saturday then lolLondon Exile wrote:Dartford's is nice and original, why not just a larger and slightly different version of that?

Well one of the people submitting designs to FGR is Glen Howells, the architect for Gloucester services.
On further inspection, have you seen how few car spaces there are? They want people to get to a new stadium off the M5 but where are all the parking spaces? On his Eco park maybe

The modified site plan has a slightly bigger car park, plus a "public transport hub".Ralph wrote: On further inspection, have you seen how few car spaces there are? They want people to get to a new stadium off the M5 but where are all the parking spaces? On his Eco park maybe
When they were doing the presentation of the site plan, displaying the scale model etc I asked the lady doing the q and a where the parking would be and she said the business park would be used, although there would probably not be a footbridge so fans would have to cross what will apparently be a dual carriageway by that point.
The Glen Howells plan looks by far the most realistic of those listed. Can see that being chosen.
Would much rather we stay at TNL though, it is clearly fit for purpose and it's where we're from.
