Was going to say Liverpool, Cup match 5th round replay, but couldn't be sure. Programme says Wednesday 11th Feb. Tickets 8 shillings (10 days before we went decimal) or 40p.

deanolegend1989 767 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 I’m hoping rather than just 1 huge stand on the east stand, they will increase both the north and south stand and be similar to old Trafford, with just 1 of the 3 sides noticeably smaller. It’ll look so odd with 1 huge stand 😂. Think it would look great if the north and south were added onto, or at least like a double decker kop end as well as the east stand. If the East stand is knocked down and replaced the 9k stand with a maybe 20k 2 tier stand and the south stand also gets a double tiered kop end , that would look incredible and could get it up to 48k without making it lopsided. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think realistically, if we're increasing to 48k, it has to include expanding 1 or both ends in addition to the east stand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They'll build up behind the stand then eventually start building back down. Taking the roof off and attaching the new roof will be the last phase of construction.

AKCJ 14,951 Posted 23 November 2020 Report Share Posted 23 November 2020 I hope it doesn't look like that. Looks rancid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That looks pretty good apart from the fact it doesn’t cover the two smaller stands (hopefully it covers them if/when they get expanded). Also if the east stand is the only one getting additional seats then I’d be gobsmacked if that adds 16,000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Babylon 28,519 Posted 23 November 2020 Report Share Posted 23 November 2020 You don't get an EXTRA 16,000 into that one tier either. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPeakFox 10,502 Posted 23 November 2020 Report Share Posted 23 November 2020 I find it hard to believe that that would produce 16,000 extra seats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fox in the North 1,488 Posted 23 November 2020 Report Share Posted 23 November 2020 (edited) Think that would look a lot better fit if the wrapping stretched so it was touching the west stand and if it stretched over the north and south stands to the bottom corners of the west stand too.

Guest Markyblue Posted 23 November 2020 Report Share Posted 23 November 2020 Have spoken to a fella who works at the kp. He says various ideas have been discussed and the 48000 plan would include expanding the east stand and kop and family stand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
