5000 capacity? That's less than the New Lawn!

I though Dale had ambitions for this club!

Zaha Hadid!!

Going to be the priciest 5,000 seater stadium ever built.

Are stadia allowed to be completely made from wood? Fire regs etc?

Sounds like a PR stunt.

My thoughts exactly -all modern stadia are built using concrete and steel to ensure Bradford never happens again.

I will be amazed if this gets permission to be built. I agree with RCS - I don't think stadiums made of wood will ever be allowed to make a comeback, it is sheer Folly.

I suppose that makes Dale "The Folly Wally".

The stadium can be made with anything. The internal seating area will be made from concrete. The picture below clearly shows concrete and plastic seating. [img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016110 ... a21e36.jpg[/img]

It's 5,000, but designed to be extendable to 10,000.
Not that keen on Vince but have to admire the attractive design.

I think the stadium plans are very appealing. It's the way forward. Well done FGR.

Looks good prefer the other design on offer though by the same company who built the new M5 services. Shame they will never fill it!
