North Stand extension


Dirge said:
While not wishing to sound pessimistic why is there such enthusiasm for ground extension and extra capacity?
Were the bookies right and we go straight back down would we be able to fill the ground.
Prefer to spend money on team strengthening until we are established

Because it’s going to be really hard to get tickets? It’s obvious this team is going to really kick on, don’t be surprised if we turn over Burnley on Saturday

The white metal cladding used instead of the brickwork is more irritating. Especially when (thankfully) brickwork was used for the North West Corner part of the extension, just daft they then decided to use cladding instead mixed with brickwork where the big black cats are.

The next 1st world problem if the sol is extended with brickwork is that the mortar pointing colour is inconsistent.

This photo looks brilliant. I'm salivating at the thought of the South and East extensions been done

After reading the complaints on this thread about fewer rows, misaligned gutters, wrong number of pigeons etc. it makes you realise that they’re inconsequential.

Compare that photo to anfield 😆

They have all sorts of oddities to join the stands together.

I wonder how many extra seats the North Stand would have if it had the same depth at the prem concourse there

its 48707 now, It must have added another 1000. it looks sh!te like :lol:
You'd think the south stand would look the same or it'll look odd. It went from 42000 to 48707, so you imagine the south stand will make capacity 55k'ish

If they did extend, I'd rather they did the East Stand first, rather than the South Stand.

Might depend if the focus is on corporate or noise

If the away fans have to be moved then the south stand might be a better option but who knows. Wonder if they would get a 1 year delay whilst it’s extended

Only if people could sit in the very same seats that they’ve sat in for generations 😉
