If the acoustics are so bad then how come you can clearly hear the away fans making noise? 

Fact is that we simply don't make as much noise as we used to. Lots of people sitting on their own now and not with friends and there's more bairns and ladies going. 

 

With expansion it's in evitable that it will be a stage process where any new seats will be used to house some current ST holders while the next stage can go forward. 

Eg build a stand behind a stand like anfield road at gallowgate - then move east stand ST there for a season or two 

 

Theres absolutely no way we are playing anywhere else, it's fantasy 

Can you hear away fans from Gallowgate and vice versa though, the strawberry corner seems loud in that half of stadium but doesn’t seem to travel around.

[Superior Acuña]

Can't possibly see us playing to 25k for a year. Would be massive uproar.

 

It'll be Riyadh.

Riverside stadium?

More likely the riverside cricket ground with temporary stands

Lot of season ticket holders would end up very disappointed if that were the only option.

And it would need major updating, as it's falling to bits from recent pics I've seen.

It is dropping to bits. George Reynolds went with the cheapest materials possible.

The only real solution to a temporary home is unpalatable. Stadium of Shite. It would be fun for all the inevitable fyem it would cause 

It'll be Boro or Leeds.

This surely has to be the camera angle, if not hope for the East Stand yet.

I cant be the only one who thinks Everton's new stadium looks a bit shit? Compared to Spurs, and the ones going up in America, it just looks so cheap and basic.

Aye, but the only reason you can't hear strawberry corner from the leazes is because the away fans drown out the noise x10 because of the close proximity.

 

90% of noise comes from strawberry corner and the gallowgate but it counts for very little unless the rest of the ground joins in

Crazy to think it will have slightly bigger capacity yet looks small in comparison to SJP 

[Wolfcastle]

I don't understand stadium acoustics admittedly but you hear how roofs help and yet when there was a completely open Gallowgate and half demolished open Leazes the atmoshpere was fine. The same lay-outs of stadiums have alternately been jumping and subdued. For example I've never heard it said once or thought it myself in 30years that the City Ground has a good atmosphere until the last 2seasons.

Its more about who is in ground surely and its just not coming back to how it was.

If you’re in Strawberry Corner you cannit hear the away fans. Maybe some banging when the Euro cunts bring a geet massive drum 

 

If you’re in the Leazes you cannit hear Strawberry Corner, even if the away fans are quiet 

 

I’ve been in both this season 

 

The acoustics are shite

Its quite an enormous space and nobody is using a megaphone. So unless people are really belting out a choon in unison it'll be unlikely to hear much over the massive background noise of chatting/moaning

Moving from their traditional home to Lego land.

I fucking HATE the whistles before the end mind.  Seeing a old man doing it somehow pissed me off even more

 

They’ve been doing it for decades now, and it needs knocking on the head.  I can’t see how it does anything but make the players and crowd anxious. 

[Guest]

Aye when it's a pre-determined number of minutes and we're not over, it's pointless like.

 

Can sort of understand when we didn't know how much longer there was and it was to try to pressure the referee to blow for full-time. 

[madras]

I noticed the clock on the TV now continues beyond 90mins, where as it used to just stop on 90.

Yes. Only taken about ten years but welcome nevertheless.

Might be wrong but think it’s a rule that was introduced this season across all clubs.

I might be wrong too but think before this, it was not permitted to go beyond the 90.

Very surprised if the rail network could handle that to be honest, even then you’re talking about possible 2.5 hour journey if you factor in metro and trams either end. Coaches up the A1 would be shite as well. As much as I love Edinburgh I doubt that would be an option. 

I’m travelling from Edinburgh each game and it’s usually around 1 hour 30/40 min depending on stops. I’m not sure they’d even have the number of trains available even if the owners were to splash the cash and pay for one after the other for 4/5 hours before and after the game. You could send some via Carlisle and into Haymarket too I suppose. It’s probably the most realistic option if you are going to keep all ST holders going and avoid Sunderland though.

Aye but that's you and maybe 30 others. Add 40,000 all going back and forth at the same time.
