Just want the new capacity to allow more of our fans into the stadium; so keep it there or move it - I hate seeing our own not be able to get into to watch us live, particularly with the 3p blackout rules that fuck it up if you don't have a dodgy way to watch. Any stadium expansion needs to allow loads of radge packets in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 The only way to achieve 60k+ is to expand the Gallogate, surely? But they've just about completed the Stack which is to remain in place for 3 years. Something doesn't tally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 1 hour ago, ponsaelius said: 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. This just a hunch or have you heard something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not Manor Park that said the Gallowgate wasnt structurally strong enough to simply extend? Would need completely removed and rebuilt as it was literally built over the old footprint or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I reckon they'll demolish the East Stand and rebuild full of hospitality. After being there at the weekend, the view you get from those seats is too primo to be a "standard" price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, put the posh seats and the cameras in the East Stand and make the rest amazing I reckon. I still think three big sides and one small looks like Parkhead which looks amazing I think, and doesn't traditionally struggle for atmosphere.
