Absolutely bowled over by this news. Yet another fantastic thing that these amazing owners have fixed. 

 

The next thing that simply has to happen is the existing Gallowgate being turned into a safe standing Kop end, once the inevitable Level 7 extension happens. And I actually have every faith that the club will deliver on that too, so long as the Trust get involved and make sure they know about it. It will be a bit of a headache moving fans around but it will absolutely be worth it in the long term.

Will make it about 60k if they expand the gallowgate to the leazes/Milburn size won't it?

 

Yeah, the existing Level 7 development added 16000 seats and the section behind the Leazes & the Leazes corner represents about half of those 16,000 seats. So looking like being bang on 60K capacity with this one piece of expansion.

Unless they get creative and go for a Dortmund style mega single terrace with safe standing built into it 

Hopefully this. And when safe standing is established, maybe go to the German standard, which is something like 1.7 people per seated space, increasing the capacity greatly.

Assuming it mirrors the Leazes End it would give an additional 6,300 seats as the current L7 leazes corner holds 3,500 and the 5 blocks in Leazes L7 hold 2,800.

Really? So the Milburn Level 7 holds 10,000? I find that hard to believe.

They added extra seats to the lower bowl as well during the L7 redevelopment by adding a Level 4 above the Leazes West Corner Level 2 which added an additional 1,800 seats. Doubt they'll do that to any Gallowgate expansion as there's lucrative corporate facilities in Gallowgate West Corner.
