SteV Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 3 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: I can't see how that's possible, would mean even less general sale tickets than now. Yeah, I don’t think they would increase ST numbers, even at 65k. Ballot success rates should be a fair bit higher though… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Say what you want regarding their human rights record, but at least the North Korean dictatorship listen to their fans and deliver with a 150,000 capacity stadium. PIF on the other hand.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had posted a concept and I've commented that or would be disappointing if we couldn't touch the East Stand as that would stop it being an elite level stadium in my opinion.

ponsaelius Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 19 minutes ago, huss9 said: i'm more worried about the reduced capacity for a couple of years whilst its rebuilt. If it's just Gallowgate extension you wouldn't have to. You could do a large amount of the work while the existing is place - then complete during off season like Liverpool did. Only likely a small period of time with reduced capacity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 To be fair that mock up isn't for me either. I'd be gutted if the Gallowgate lost the low roof. But I'd be more than happy with it if it meant an increased capacity and therefore more way for my mates to get a Season Ticket again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I have a feeling the plans will be above and beyond what most are imagining. I hope the goal is to get to 63k so it's bigger than all but OT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 14 minutes ago, tgarve said: It’s honestly pathetic most miserable fan base on the planet at times owners who have practically saved our club want to rebuild the ground after developing a huge fan park and funding improvements all over the place. Lad sitting at home ‘ not good enough ‘ It's probably the only opportunity to seriously develop the stadium and a major part of the club and city for a generation or more. Can't blame people for wanting to get it right and make their view heard. It's not a criticism of the owners; if anything it's about trying to help them spend their money more wisely.

If you are the club though - and we can argue the rights and wrongs of this as a fan base, they’ll be looking at price elasticity with respect of demand. And a lot of the survey seemed to be teasing that out ‘would you pay more for xx’. If there’s an additional 15k general ballot tickets can we sell those at the existing pricing? A lot depends on what’s happening on the pitch. But let’s wait and see, assume they’ll announce something close season as it gets towards planning.

Elma Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Wondering if another tier or at least half tier of height could be added to the East Stand with a new glass roof - the additional bit could be primarily glass and used for corporate (boxes) and/or media freeing up that space elsewhere for additional seating, alongside the additional capacity we'd get from the new Gallowgate/Milburn corner and the extra tier on the Gallowgate. Might be able to get close to 65,000? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
