Project Overview
Nolan Associates designed the foundations and infrastructure for GL Events and Exeter City Football Club’s new Stagecoach Adam Stansfield stand.
The £3.4 million project, which has seen the construction of a new stand, changing rooms, away end and associated facilities, was opened in October 2018.
The new stand was named the Stagecoach Adam Stansfield Stand in honour of fans’ favourite Adam Stansfield, who died in 2010. It also features a heritage display which has been created thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the work of the Supporters’ Trust history group and the Grecian Archive, in partnership with the University of Exeter.
Julian Tagg, chairman of Exeter City FC, said: “It’s a huge achievement to build new facilities such as these and deliver on schedule. There have been numerous hurdles to overcome along the way, from legal challenges to the student housing, to the everyday problems that building a development like this in a working stadium creates.
We have been very lucky to have a dedicated team, working closely with excellent contractors and project managers to deliver this successfully. I am looking forward with great anticipation to seeing the first fans in their seats – and I’m sure they are as well.”
