The east stand is barbaric from the outside, could do with some cladding or something to make it better if it can't be changed structurly.

I kind of like the brutalist nature to it. 
 

Shows how the ground has been developed over the years.

I wonder if there's an argument to made that because the existing east stand is solid concrete, you could actually build a higher, much more transparent stand and actually increase the light that Leazes Terrace gets.

 

You can't really make a stand transparent. Also, light isn't really the issue, although it could be past a certain point, the main issue with building up would be the increase in scale of it and the way that would visually dominate the setting of the listed buildings.

 

Maybe NCC's planners / conservation officers would have a completely different view on it :dontknow:

I'm thinking that too.

 

It's such an archaic design. It would almost certainly (and probably incredibly easy given we'll have top Saudi architects working on it) be able to be demolished and rebuilt, while increasing capacity and also maybe even with less imposition on Leazes Terrace.

Love this - if only for the imagination - from one of the folks on Skyscraper City, including the Lords style media centre within the East Stand, enabling us to replace media/corporate in the Milburn with more seats.

This is great work but making Leazes Terrace the focal point and main entrance of the ground seems a weird choice

Here’s a SJP question that doesn’t relate to or involve relocation or expanding:
 

If you were going to your first match all over again, and might only get to one for the foreseeable future, where would you sit for the one time awe-striking moment? Stand/row/etc.

 

Asking for a friend. ;)

Knock down The View, St James' Point and the Business School, do away with Barrack road and move St James' west a few hundred metres. Sorted.

Gallowgate would be the obvious answer if you want to be in the middle of the flag display and the best singing area but good luck getting a ticket. Really anywhere is good at the minute with the atmosphere.

I would honestly sit exactly where I'd been sitting for my first match at SJP.  1997 v Barcelona.  Keith Gillespie cross; Tino leapt, time froze. Where I was sitting?  If Keith's ball had kept going the ball it would have hit me in the face.  Perfect. :)

Think the East Stand could be demolished and rebuilt. Would reduce capacity for a few years but surely it could be redesigned in the same footprint to increase capacity in the long run?

(YES - I actually agree that the best thing to do would be to replace the "old" East Stand !!!!!!)
