If interested... work in progress at my home stadium (local club will play until next march in Pontedera, due to move the pitch 15 metres in front of Main Covered Stand and.. to wait that grass born!)

From my website... www.soloprato.com ... you can see the demolition of 3 stands in the rail area of the stadium, the built of a end stand for first time in the history of our stadium, and the new away stand.

The only stand that remain the same it's the Main Covered Stand, that hold about 600.

Congratulations for your website, it provides a very thorough overview of the Lungobisenzio.
I have a few questions concerning the current renovation:

1) Were will the away stand be moved? Where the Maratona used to be, or next to the Circolo Etruria, as a real curva opposite the curva Matteo Ventisette? That would be the best solution in my opinion.

2) I assume that the curva Matteo Ventisette will also have to be dismantled and moved, since the pitch will be moved 15 mt. towards the Biancalani stand and the curva is already off-center in the opposite direction. Side comment: indeed the Lungobisenzio is a collection of asymmetries, I hope the renovation will bring some logic and grace to it.

3) I read the new capacity will be about 2.200, but the 3 current stands sum up to 3.096 (1.636+847+613). How will the capacity be reduced, since of course the Biancalani won´t be affected?

I´ll be looking forward to your answers, thank you
