Maidstone United Stand - UK

A unique stand to enhance Maidstone’s capacity.

We worked directly with Maidstone United to design, draw, fabricate

and erect this structure at the club’s Gallagher stadium. This included

the steelwork, cladding, handrails, and disabled access ramps.


The fully galvanised 81 tonne, steel-framed standing terrace has been

built behind one of the goals. It consists of eleven double standing

rows, formed with non-slip metal decking supported by a series

of steel rakers. The roof is an 11m wide cantilever steel roof, which

includes a 1m high fascia for advertising.


This structure is unique as it can accommodate 1786 standing fans,

but can be adapted by removing the intermediate steel infill panels

and bolting in seat, to accommodate 884 seated fans too.

This upgrade significantly enhances the capacity at Maidstone and

allow them to meet National League standards.


We finished the stand in time for a grand opening in front of a bumper

crowd before the club’s Vanarama National League match against

Sutton United.

It was a pleasure to work with Maidstone United and we hope the new

stand will give fans all the support they need to cheer Maidstone to

success on the field, as well as help the club grow off the pitch.
