New planning application on the council website for cladding the infill panels on the east stand and for a new ticket office with canopy. https://planningexplorer.barnsley.gov.uk/Home/ApplicationDetails?planningApplicationNumber=2025/0471
Maybe because it will take years to get approval so nothing changes till then. Well be on our 5th head coach from now by then.
The east stand proposals are greatly welcomed. Should make things much more comfortable for people. Not so sure about making the ticket office completely outdoors unless I've misread the application. Looks like they want to make the club offices bigger, move the ticket office staff to where customers would now be, and serve customers outdoors under a canopy?
No. It is to replace the frontage to the superstore, change the box office to an outdoor under canopy window and fill in the empty 'windows' on the back of the east stand with grey cladding
I wish they'd fill the corner in even if it's just with cladding (and a proper big screen). Would make a massive difference.
We've only been banging on about the infamous East Stand gap for 15 years... We've been going on about the gap between the North and East stands for nearly as long - there will be plans for that in a couple of years.
