TFF, check out the President's Update on the Club Website.

Trust they go with the option of building over the current stadium 

Just re read the Dees announcement yesterday. It looks like we are going with Scenario 1. (Seen in the Vic Parks minutes).  

Retaining current stand during building process of new Stan which will be from the Centre square to the Northern Half forward Flank. 

Not my preferred option as I would rather new stand to be right in the middle of the oval but I do understand why they are going that way. 

1. apparently telcos rent the top of the stand for there towers. They have an agreement to until end 2025 - we lose 600-900k to break this contract. 
2. we can continue operating and playing at Lathlain during the development. 
3. they have to choose one to get this bloody thing moving. Choosing now enables more extensive plans and final coatings and tenders to go ahead. 

All the above only from what I have read and I may be wrong.

Hopefully they can give us a good rundown at the AGM.

I can see a big advantage having the grandstand where it is in that image. The afternoon sun will be behind it offering good protection from the sun. 

Most other clubs have their members areas on the flanks and they have great atmosphere. West Perth members are stuck behind the goals in their new premises I would hate that but they've still got the old grandstand. 

Just make sure there is a definitive area under cover for Perth supporters and away supporters.  I don't want clowns from the opposition plonking their arse and shooting their mouths off in our area.

Thought you were going to tell me to Fck off and start a new Grand stand thread when I saw your name come up in the new post DD.
