there is already a 24 team lobby of support for this, and representations have and are being made. Town said they may well consider adding their name to this group if the survey showed sufficient demand for it..
Costings would be an issue, but as I've stated before, the temporary seating in the FM Lower will, at some point, need replacing to remain 'safe'.So there is a cost avoidance at a future date (whatever that is).
A permanent structure would have access points within the stand and at either end...a concourse with 'facilities' under neath, safe railings as per the video clip attached above...
As for the argument about future 'rock concerts' , well the market has shifted on this although I believe there was a local schools concert there not so long ago..
There is space enough below the FM private boxes to have a decent enough incline on a standing area, and space enough at the front to extend it a few meters too..the capacity would be greater than the existing seating , as shown at Hanover 96 in the video
Croke Park is a good example of it done right with a 13,000 terrace, not this "rail seating" which surely is a compromise too far in all areas.

Its funny how boozed up gaelic footy fans can behave well in the terrace (without segregation aswell!) and yet football fans cant.
"For most international soccer and rugby matches temporary seating was added to comply with their governing body rules. At every soccer game at the stadium to date, Hill 16 has either had seats added or has remained closed (despite UEFA regulations allowing it to remain open as a terrace for friendly games). Since the redevelopment of the IRFU owned stadium at Lansdowne Road the usage of the stadium for soccer and rugby matches has ceased."
