Club are looking to extend the stadium

[viccarlton]

The first thing they should do, is move the tv cameras to the east stand, Boro have done it, Luton have also done it, as have Blackburn.

……and have the sun ( when it shines) directly into them?

That’s a great idea. The stadium would look more impressive on TV, and we could put the away fans in the North Stand lower below their own away fans next to the NE corner. With suitable walls in the concourse and tucked away from the main cameras. Also sell the bottom tier first so it won’t be noticed on the TV, with larger allocations getting into the upper tier where they are now.

Dont think that can happen (cameras in the east) due to the sun

If they extend, they should extend the Roker end as standing only in a single tier up to the same height of the Main Stand so that it resembles the old Roker End. Charge much lower season ticket prices for this stand only and I bet it would be full most games.

Aye this. The red and white wall to resemble the yellow wall.

Too much beer.

 

[Ashley In!!]

Has the work started yet?

Not an issue, the sun was shining into the cameras at Ewood on Monday. Made no difference to picture quality.

Rightio

 

[Northumberland Rocks]

Build it and they will come.

HTLs

 

[rey mysterio]

Building the Roker End to the same height as the North Stand single tier would be unreal. Big windows at the back to let more light in too, or boxes at the back rather than halfway up.

Surely it can’t cost that much to extend it.

 

[Robanner]

Idiotic idea. We can’t sell out what we have. Seriously laugh it off as the April fools it is.

What's the point?

Magnus get much right? Always seemed a bit of a 1 in 50 kind of poster during the takeover

[jcrossan]

The original post says the rumours came from Magnus over the road, no clue what's been said on the other forum since

Good idea that. Ignoring the small bottom tier in the pic below, that's a bit what one of the ends is like at the Millennium Stadium. As below, the SW corner would need to be a double tier, but the end could be kept as one tier.

Surely they could build a giant retractable sun visor type thing on top of the West stand to be used on match days

Millennium stadium is a brilliant place to watch sport like. Went to 1 FA Cup final and 1 Carling Cup final there and the atmosphere shits on Wembley especially with the roof closed.

Yeah think it would be a great idea to have a huge roker end. Get bored of perfectly round stadium bowls.
