But when you consider that match day revenue is still £6m lower than the £34m in the last season before Ashley’s arrival whilst others have surged, feels necessary at some level.

RobsonsWonderland Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I know people say the main problem is leazes terrace but is it not the building further down on the corner? Is that building also a listed building? I reckon without it we could upgrade the east stand and even mirror the architecture of leazes terrace if we wanted to.

Even the houses behind would be affected if you try and extend the East Stand - it would block out their light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St James Terrace is closer to the East Stand than Leazes Terrace, also grade 2 listed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking a massive increase but an improvement on what we have. You could add corporate and keep the same or increase the number of seats but the added benefit of the outside not looking like a 70s eyesore.

I would rather keep the roof low than have that huge gap between the top of the East stand and the glass roof. I don’t like the one posted with the glass panelling there either. Suppose beggars can’t be choosers though in this instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the idea there is so that the corners can be slightly extended without blocking their view with a roof. Nice idea like but probably nudging slightly toward fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I don't even think the Dresden proposal is an option for the east stand as there isn't space for the stairwells and stuff behind the stand, the last row on the east stand actually sticks out more than the actual foundations. The only solution I can think of is a new far steeper stand designed for all standing like Dortmund and then be able to revert to reduced capacity for European games once the PL gives plus capacity safe standing the green light.

You’d hope so, but 5 years is tight if they still need to do some planning, getting through the planning process, demolition, and then construction.

If you added Parkhead and the oversized B&Q stadium you could have 6 nice regional fits: Scotland: Parkhead/Glasgow London: Wembley/Spurs South West/wales: Villa/Cardiff Ireland: Dublin/Belfast North West; Ettihad/Kings Dock North East: St James/ SOS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
