Looks so much cleaner/more appropriate. Still think they could smarten it all up like a hell of a lot. 

 

 

Would like to see new black n white seats

Me dad and I were wondering whether whatever Saudi company becomes the main sponsor would have its name/logo in the seats, a bit like Anfield, rather than just slapping crass signs up.

Should definitely be what the surrounding area of our new stadium should look like in Leazes Park to be fair. 

 

Pretty much what was planned in 1997 . . .

Aye, I actually think if they did the ceiling Black with White writing too. There's a. Whole host of things. I'd change the tunnel and all the outside bit on the South West corner too

Definitely. Made these edits for my FM save

In one of those pics it looks as if the black and white stripes are divided by thin gold lines. Could be a good strip design when we become champions. Not sure but I feel we've had a strip like that before so it might not be as original an idea as I think.

That looks fantastic

My only worry with black seats is that the black colour may fade a while later.  Of course our rich and wealthy owners can use high quality paint for the seats. That is why I thought we switched to grey seats for a 'cleaner' and neutral colour.

 

Red seats turning into pink seats down the road makes them look like playing in Peppa Pig's stadium.

2005-07? Definitely reminds me of that one.

Had gold Northern Rock logo. I think 97-99 is the closest with the gold trim down the sleeves and shorts.

More concerned with what kind of burger they're going to give us when we rock up with our toolboxes.

This is based on absolutely nothing at all but maybe the East Stand didn't get bleached as much or at all is maybe because it has its "back" to the sun? If that makes sense? So the sun would be shining directly at the Milburn stand at peak times but not so much on the East Stand so it's a bit more protected. Maybe it doesn't make a difference or maybe the paint they used on seats in the 80s and early 90s were a bit more "chemically different" by modern/we actually care about the environment standards. 

 

That's my crazy theory for today and it's not even lunch time yet.

Aye I’m not sure I like black and white seats. I think Grey looks decent but there are rows of seats dotted about that are a different shade to the rest of the block.

 

I reckon all Black seats would look decent, with “NUFC” carved into the East Stand in white. Mebbes the old school NUFC crest in the Gallowgate too. 

[David Edgar]

Black and white seats are minging.

Yeah, MK Dons black seats always look ok when I’ve caught sight of their stadium.

I expect the Saudis know a thing or two about the sun.

I was trying to think of examples and couldn’t, but aye I completely agree!

[midds]

Quite fancy the idea of randomising each seat with either black, white or grey. I think Brentford's stadium is an example and there's one in Portugal too? Probably loads actually. 

[RodneyCisse]

 

Something like this again at the front for me but symmetrical.

[midds]

We've discussed changing the colour of the seats and possible options to expand the ground but one thing that's been overlooked completely is putting in some safe standing areas. Would increase the capacity (not by as much as we'd like obviously) but more fans, more ST holders, more guaranteed income, no need to move ground or extend the Gallowgate? 

 

It's something I think we should definitely be looking into. It's not everyone's cup of tea and there's arguments for and against but I'd like to think it's an option. Just throwing it out there.

Unless I've got it completely wrong but I thought safe standing doesn't increase the capacity as it's still the equivalent of a seat per person?

The ones I've seen have doubled the number of rows, like on 2 levels? Same number of people in each of the rows? 

 

Someone will know

Big fan of those organised chaos patterns they had at Russia 2018, not sure how it would work for us though, might have to just be gray-scale.
