Is the main stand listed?

Given it's age and composition you'd think it was of some historical significance.

That’d be all we need. Just get everything tied up to start the new stadium project then find the buyer of BP pulls out because they can’t pull the Main Stand down.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

He was probably watching a slide show on his magic lantern

Can't believe GTFC don't have a seating number plan, i have rung them and they have confirmed one does not exist. Surely this is a requirement for a fire plan at the very least. Thanks for everybody's advise though.

Whenever I’ve been in the ticket office they’ve had one taped to the desk

The Main Stand is probably listing, not sure about being listed.

The stand is of historical significance.  In the 1930s it witnessed the equivalent of Premiership football.  We were certainly spoilt then, not realising how excellent we had it.

If it is listed it doesn't  necessarily have to get in the way of a redevelopment on the site, it could be dismantled and relocated, as an example I went to St Fagans Welsh National  Museum of History and they've got dozens of relocated listed buildings there.

Perhaps the EFL could use it as part of a museum. In the meantime perhaps it could attract lottery funding for restoration of the exterior?

Do we know anyone with some kind of political influence who might be able to make such a proposal on the club's behalf?
