New Stadium Discussion

[MikeH72]

That looks fantastic.

Just wait til later when edgelords start kicking off about it.

When the designers have to fill the image with balloons, tickertape, flags and banners - none of which we'll have in the stadium - you wonder if they are trying to take the attention away from something else.

It's the shocking positioning of that centre back bottom right.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[MickA]

I like it

 

[Johnniepk]

That's a lot of balloons and a lot of banners.!

I like that, can't wait to see better detail but it does look like it 'grew from the docks' with the brick on the outside

I will be booing and popping for a whole season if we start bringing balloons and flags into it

If that is the actual design it doesn't seem to offer any views across the river, other than through the see-through wrap-around. I can see how the brick frontages are designed to be in keeping with the existing warehouses along the dock road, but I would be a little disappointed if the roof features are as shown.

What time are we expecting white smoke at lads?

One thing that seems back to front is that it would be better to have the rail seats at the back of the stand not the front.


The idea behind one huge home End is that the intimidation is at it's best when everyone is stood as one.


Standing at the front, a raise followed by half sitting in seats would surely fragment our support more. If rails werew at the back you naturally get fans standing more at the front so you would have a seemless run of fans stood, plus they would be stood more often.


I'm answering my own question here, but they are however held back by the ridiculous rule that you can't improve safety on standing in seats for gradients above 25 degrees. Surely standing in a steeper stand would require more safety! Madness.

There's nothing to see across the river, the big home end will be facing the city though so a boss view of the city and up river

The middle picture shows fans carrying banners like a union march as they approach the ground.. In all my years I have only ever seen fans carrying curry and chips .....

Yeah, your mum getting absolutely pummelled in the home end by 46,000 fellas
