"Lack of stands"?
05R/23L doesn't usually open until after Sunday lunch has been served, so there is your available diversion parking.....on the taxiways between left and right and north of R/W 1. If necessary, tow all of these already parked a/c out of the way. It's not rocket science.
Runway 2 and southern taxiways are having repair works this weekend whilst closed.
Southside not favoured for diversions due to the number of tug, bus, slow EBTs pulling steps, and general vehicle journeys required to cross Runway 1 - best avoided. Also lack of any floodlighting, difficulty in positioning steps and equipment, I could go on.
