Small upper tier. 

You mean above the kop and the family stand?

Both the ends being done first?

Surely doing the 2 ends and then building up the east stand to them wouldn't make any sense construction wise.?

Like i posted a few pages back, see the ground plans for Tigers thats the only i can explain it from what I've been told.

 

The only thing of our  current ground youll see is the main stand. 

They'll be some sort of over hang between the top tier of the east stand and the lower

Yes.

[Spudulike]

So, unlike the Welford Road design where the roof of the ends slopes quite low, ours will go from the West Stand (exixting height) sloping up to the roof of the new East Stand ??

 Yes, i tried to draw it but failed massively. The roof has some sort of curve in it too

It depends what you class long term. Some on here give the impression it will be done in 18 months. Realistically it will be 3/4yrs. But I don't think they mean 10yrs.

Yeah I would of thought anywhere between 2-4 years realistically 

[yorkie1999]

I would imagine it’ll be horse shoe shaped with the centre of the curve titled up to the centre of the east stand

Is there likely to be an announcement about what the plans are to coincide with the upcoming England v Switzerland match?

Basically it sounds like this what we're getting. Google "Suprastadio"

Basically, an incredibly steep, high stand where all seats are still near to the pitch. Looks amazing.

Looks plausible. Now if we could get the 10K capacity terrace that they've got as well 

[thesilverfox]

A better idea of the stand design here..

Doing some digging into Dresden's expansion:

I can't see more than one new tier especially behind the goals but the far end on that mockup looks sensible.

I think your more than likely right if the aren't going to close the ground and the are planning alteration to 3 side, it's going to take some time.

That seem reasonable, and from what Ashley say it would appear the would be a sloping down of the roof on both ends to met the main stand.

[Ted Maul]

Looks superb and should be pretty unique in this country.

 

A modern and stylish ground, big enough to cater for our fanbase, city centre location and with some great history there already? It really is going to be a home to be proud of.

[Guest Markyblue]

You'd need seat belts in the top section. 

[thesilverfox]

[davieG]

As long as they make the concourse bigger which doesn't look necessary with those designs.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I'd want the roof pitching down more than in those Dresden graphics, to help keep the noise in. Even if it meant not being able to see the whole ground from the seats at the back of the stand. 

[st albans fox]

Not sure the ‘poznan’ would be a good idea on those top sections!

remember behind the goal at fc Copenhagen and being relieved at the end of the game that it was 0-0 - was a long drop below the temporary structure! 

[Babylon]

Where does this incredibly steep tier stuff come from?

[LCFC FOX]

Will the club think about safe standing with the new stands?

As knowing our luck the stadium will be completed and then parliament will allow safe standing again

Somebody mention a thing, somebody drew something like the thing, then everybody got carried away about another thing. 

It’s FoxesTalk.
