Westfield Updates :: 01 March 2004

With the main stand now nearing completion, daily changes have become less obvious when passing by Westfield. However things are still progressing very much according to plan.

The latest news, as announced late last week on the club’s website, was the name of the first six hospitality suites. As reported, these are called the Brockville Lounge, the Captains Lounge, the Internationalists Lounge, the 1957 Suite, the Kevin McAllister Suite and the Alex Parker Suite. Despite reports to the contrary in this weekends Sunday Papers the stand has NOT been named after Crunchie!

The building work is on target to meet the revised schedule and the boxes are currently being fitted out.

The under soil heating will be installed shortly and it is zoned meaning that if only one area of the pitch is affected by frost heat can be turned on in that area only making it cost effective.

The wall lining the main entrance to the Stadium and consisting of the sponsored bricks has been designed and brick sales continue to do well-its not too late to secure yours if you haven’t already done so!

On the ‘boring but essential’ side of things, both the Police Plan and the Traffic Plan are complete. In addition, there has been healthy interest from prospective tenants for the areas of the main stand available for lease.

BairnsTrust will be conducting tours of the new stand in conjunction with the club once the relevant safety certificates are received-keep checking back for more news on this.

Letters are to be issued to existing season ticket holders today to gauge the interest in advance season ticket sales. This will give the opportunity to current season ticket holders to reserve their season ticket for Westfield on payment of a £25 deposit although at present seating plans and reservation of specific seats are not available.
