Some more Mercury mockups of how it will look from various positions around the city. It will be visable from the station, apparently. Massive.

One of their journo's definitely sits on FoxesTalk crawling through threads, see stuff like this all the time 

Here’s another assist for the Merc then … having poured through some of the documents because I’m extremely sad, it reads to me that there will be 2 levels of Hospitality Boxes in the new East Stand (only level 3 is the full length of the stand though).

The way I read that and from the drawings is that this would be for the premium Loge seating outside which is 3 rows of seating and has a balustrade at the bottom row to separate it from the main stain. It has access through the hospitality area glazing.

I think you might be right actually, can’t see any hospitality boxes at all, just lounges and allocated seats in the stand. Below are levels 2 & 3 from the plans …

It was called the "Suprastadio" and made a few waves about 5-6 years ago. Supposedly, Dresden was going to use it on a much smaller scale (Images here https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/dresden-ddv-stadion-32-066-45-775.1209185/page-2), but nothing has really happened.

 

Those seats in the top tiers look like Oblivion at Alton Towers, do they come with seatbelts?

Interesting how the documents make lots of reference to the Eon site now being owned by LCFC but there’s no actual plans for the site. 
 

I wonder if they’ll submit plans in the future for it because that’s still some substantial real estate to play with that could be used really well.

A mini stadium for the games against smaller clubs. First match is against Spurs.

Bet you still can’t get a beer in the ground without queueing for 20 minutes

That isn't Brendan in the technical area. He's not that tall. 

 

I'm worried now.

I have it on good authority that it's Mick McCarthy 

[ian__marshall]

Whoever it is has a massive head. Looks like Fat Sam to me. 

 

Interested who the away team is, looks like Joachim Low on the touchline.

Seems to be a feisty game between us and Watford - both teams down to 9 men. Schmeichel must have been one of ours sent because it looks as if Ward is in goal. Must be the second half as we're attacking the Kop.

 

Ref looks like his whistles in his mouth and the Watford players are protesting so looks like we're getting a penalty!

...I was actually thinking a mini stadium....but for the Women's team!!!

  Everything all in one area and the supporters would have easy access to games, car parks would cater for both Men and Women's game along with the fan store with merchandise for both.

  Would be a generous decision to build this, with Covid and flight embargo reducing cash flow, it would bring everything together under one umbrella.

Looks like we'll be it with a big fine when it kicks off due to lack of segregation.
