THE redevelopment work on Vicarage Road has continued with some significant progress made over the last few weeks. The Rookery this weekThe work is currently focused on the large concourse extension to the upper level of the Rookery Stand. Once complete, this extension will be about 250 square meters and will house a brand new 14m bar along its back wall. The current ladies toilets are also to be demolished and brand new facilities will be built on a further extension which will overhang the current lower concourse. The whole area will not be complete until the beginning of next season and it will significantly improve the space on the upper floor as well as giving supporters in the Rookery Stand a great new catering facility. ![](http://www.watfordfc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/f5/38/0,,10400~3160309,00.jpg) The toilets on the lower concourse are still being refurbished with steel work boarded and the paintwork completed. Vinyl flooring is now being laid. The ladies toilets on the ground floor have been knocked through to create one large area with 12 cubicles and new vanity units. On the West (Rous) side of the ground, work has begun on the new lift being installed in this area. The excavation work for the lift shaft is currently underway and work will continue for several weeks to come. www.watfordfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/RedevelopmentDetail/0,,10400~999162,00.html

So is this just going to be the same old stand but with a new interior?
Why didn't they knock it all down and build one that extends to meet the ends of the stands behind the goal? Or was that too expensive?

Nah, this is the first stage of the redevelopment. A new East Stand will be built to replace the shit heap that lies there currently ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Also the changing rooms, media facilities & the players lounge will be shifted into the south west corner of the Vic. The Directors boxes & boardroom will be moved into the Upper Rous, where we'll also have a new sports bar. The deal includes new housing for workers of Watford General Hospital which is next door, the housing will be built around the edge of the Rookery and part of the Rous stand.
