RodneyCisse Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Even if we got a new site I’d want some type of lopsided nature to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 That’s just odd like What does it matter if it’s lopsided or the same all round? Boggles me mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Do people think we're going to be getting something like this if we redevelop like? It's 100% going to be more Spurs than Smog, regardless of whether it's symmetrical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Obvs I want a cool design and good atmosphere, TBF. I just want maximum number of seats so I can get tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Aviva styling could work like. Sharp taper down to a redesigned east stand and then back up to behemoth Gallowgate and Leazes. Make the Gallowgate a fuck off single tiered stand also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf even the otherwise utterly bland White Hart Toiletseat has one end that's bigger than the other. Granted it would make less sense if you're deliberately building something brand new in a way that mimicks the conditions that have led to SJP's lack of continuity; it would be too obviously artificial. As the architect says, its lopsidedness has been largely dictated by what's been possible within its surroundings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Yes, if you’re building a large stadium and you have one end significantly bigger than another for no apparent reason that would seem a bit odd. And probably a bit try hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie1892 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 defo need to make the gallowgate a full wall of safe standing in my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelintoon Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Surely the talk of a singing section and the Gallowgate full wall of safe standing has to be in their thinking. Must include the corners also. If done right, it could be incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Defo love the Wall concept if you could add the corner right round the Strawberry section to it (if and when that upper corner is built) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Yeah, I think if we do stay on the current site, and Leazes Terrace can't be moved, then we will end up with a design that looks like the Aviva. As long as the roof actually protects from the elements, goes all the way to the edge of the pitch perimeter, and is also designed to keep sound within the stadium it could look really special.

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.
