It’s an out of date dump and an eyesore. The rest of the ground looks really impressive, especially at night. The BS needs a complete replacement. I assume it’s wood and probably has asbestos in it too
It's actually mostly brick and concrete, under the stand are quite a number of small rooms and it's quite a substantial and well built building. I believe asbestos was cleared when they replaced the roof. I agree though, I don't think modernising would work and would look a bit odd with three newish stands. The only thing is to level it. I do understand those who argue it isn't necessary, but I disagree, the club is about more than just it's players who come and go, it's about the fans and the ground too.
