Sport England offering £5k grants for storm damage ! Given that this is a modern stand compared to Invicta's ex stand you have to wonder about the design of stands where they are exposed to wind as Cheriton is .

With hindsight the problem with our ex-stand was that the open front was exposed to the prevailing wind and had an enclosed back. With nowhere to go but sideways the severe wind lifted the roof up and the columns too as they had lost their sound footing.
So we need a well planted stand!
The grandad stand is opposite to the prevailing wind and is sheltered by the bowling club, which probably ensured/ensures its survival.
