pedro111 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Gallowgate expansion and safe standing introduced to bring capacity to between 60and 70k and I'll be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yeah safe standing will surely be with us by the time any new stadium/expansion would be completed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Oh definitely, I haven’t been keeping up with the progress of safe standing. Is there a serious prospect of PL clubs using it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Oh definitely, I haven’t been keeping up with the progress of safe standing. Is there a serious prospect of PL clubs using it? Many clubs have it already installed. Spurs, Wolves etc. On same one seat one person capacity at the moment. Still some way away from what we see on the continent.

nufcjmc Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 From what I read I thought safe standing was still 1 person one seat position in terms of capacity if that was the case it wasn't increase anything just possibly change atmosphere in ground.

D. Yimentov Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Can these blokes not just turn the whole ground into the platinum club? Cushy chairs for everyone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Can these blokes not just turn the whole ground into the platinum club? Cushy chairs for everyone! Arsenal have that, guess it's what contributes to the sleepy atmosphere. New Spurs stadium has nice seats but very little width so everyone is still packed in.

Kanj Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 My preferred route would be something like Greg[/member] mentioned above - 1) buy the strawberry place land or enter into a lease with the new owner of the land and pay them rent and 2) expand gallowgate end 3) total renovation of the interior/exterior of the stadium to modernize and take it to the next level; 4) create more premium seating to drive additional revenue within the current stadium My secondary idea would be to develop on the site that SJH wanted to create the new stadium on and build something brilliant - hopefully with an "ode" to SJP in design Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 How many fans could we get to turn up on a regular basis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hard to say, last time we were really good the stadium was smaller. Then there were long waiting lists for season tickets and it was impossible to get individual tickets for most matches. Maybe 60-70k ish? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 you don't want to add capacity for the sake of it - but think getting to 60-70k (max) is the right idea if possible. More-over do we think we need to basically re-do the seating, add additional premium options etc and enhance the concourses etc to be able to justify charging more for seats? or is this someone that raising the prices will hurt the capacity?

nufcjb Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The owners will have seen many different stadiums, sporting venues around the world and they would probably saying we want to have something like that. Look at how they modernise the sporting venues in the Middle East like how they make the F1 a spectacle over there. Look at Qatar hosting the Club World Cup last year. They will want to show their prowess to the world soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yep - extend the Gallowgate and add 8-10,000 seats and refurb the stadium. 60-62,000 would be enough. 62,000 would be pretty much the second biggest stadium behind Old Trafford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Spurs have a club shop that's absolutely gigantic, must have about 100 staff on match day. People spending hundreds of pounds at a time, it's crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People spending hundreds of pounds at a time, it's crazy. I went to the LFC one last year on a non-match day. It was fucking packed with a line to pay that took about 20 minutes even though they had 10+ registers open. Compare to the one time i've been in our club shop and seeing some generic shit with a badge on it, just really sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Can we do literally nothing with the East Stand ? Potentially yes not in terms of extending it back but probably modernising it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Or do something like Boca Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Can we do literally nothing with the East Stand ? Maybe it could be extended vertically, would be a challenge but Leazes Tce means it's the only realistic option. It's a long shot, the only other example of another club to do this that comes to mind is Boca Junior's ground Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 don't think you can even build upwards there can you? would block the light etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 think that was ashley's plan all along. flog the land around the strawberry to a mate. sell it back to the new owners at a massive price and he splits the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just occured to me that with the Rueben Bros involved they may have land (and plans) earmarked already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Adding to the picture of the new Feyenoord stadium I posted yesterday, I didn't realise that they were redeveloping a whole neighbourhood. Could definitely see something like this for the Arena area of the city centre. https://oma.eu/projects/feyenoord-city Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
