That's a very good point that I hadn't considered.

I did wonder about the small section of terrace - now out of bounds- behind the dug outs in the Compeed Stand, as a possibility. However even if it was possible to retrofit a flat area at the back of the terrace, by creating an access cut through from the concourse. This would mean moving the existing refreshments etc, providing less able toilets etc, but I can now see that egress problems would in fact be the deal breaker.

The North Stand at Hilsborough with disabled sections at the front which have been there for well over 20 years. It seems this type of facility would be fairly simple to implement on the terraced area of the Compeed stand.

IMO something like that would block the access to the Compeed terrace which is at the bottom behind the perimeter fencing. Re thinking the back of the Compeed terrace idea I wonder if only powered wheelchair/mobility scooters could be allowed, which would aid emergency egress before the top tier of the stand, assuming of course it is needed.
