McNally wanted to do it but it hasn't happened

Here are his exact words from 2012, with the important bit highlighted in big letters for any passing dimwits:

"We would like to put a small stand in front of the hotel, HOWEVER THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS INVOLVES A NUMBER OF STAKEHOLDERS, SOME OF WHOM MAY NEED SOME CONVINCING that it is in everybody's interests to put some seats in front of the hotel! However, discussions continue and we will keep you informed of any progress."

Conclusion: it can't be done.
