i reckon blue and white strips in the way they were on the last day of last season with the clap banners, like one block white, one block blue, one block white and so on...

BRILLIANT !
We could have the North Stand painted up in honour of the THOUSANDS of Albion fans who won't go, because they can't pay on the gate.

Just looking at that stand at Colchester;although small in size its incline looks steep.
when looking at the Falmer webcam and the east stand being built,is there any one else thinking that the incline is not that steep or is it just me or is it down to the web cam position?

Colchester's stand seems to have a straight incline. Falmer's incline will be PARABOLIC.
Parabolic achieves a better view of the whole pitch.

Ill take your word for it as i know you have already visited the shrine.
The technical term for the incline is "rake angle" - if you want to read more. I'm sure they wouldn't f*** up something as fundimental as this

Im sure they wouldnt but looking at the new south Stand at Blackpool for example, the steps/incline seems to be steeper.
Im not saying this is a fault at TCS and i know whose ground i would rather have but i cant help but notice the the incline does not look that steep.
I hope its just an illusion or the angle from the web cam.

The stadium architects, KSS, know exactly how to achieve what's needed. They are particularly proud of this aspect of the design.
... and they are getting commissions to do some good work elsewhere:-

Check out the new Spurs stadium.

Might have missed the boat on this one but re Easy 10's pics I don't think it's particularly the pic of the face that makes Fratton Park look so shite so much as that it's Shitesmouth's stadium and is by definition in Portsmouth and thereofore Hampshire as a whole. They could play in a replica of Camp Nou and I would still stubbornly cling to the belief that it was a hovel. Happily next season it will be one of the poorer grounds in the Championship following their inevitable relegation.
I am anxiously awaiting Martin Perry's explanation of parabolic in next weeks podcast on Seagull Player. Do you think he will get out his banana again?

Take a look at the parabolic seat rake at the back of the auditorium at the Hull Truck Theatre:-
It's designed to achieve the best view of the stage for everyone in the audience and improve leg room..
Spurs new design looks the dog b*****ks

Who's Next?
Talking to Derek Chapman recently, he made a point of asking whether I had been to MKDons' ground. 'Cos if I had, he said, I'd have a good idea of what the seating at Falmer would be like.
This article explains rake angles and sightlines quite well.

Getting back to the original topic - we might not have much choice what's written in the seats if the sponsors have their say. If someone is prepared to give us millions of pounds they are welcome to write what they like in the seats.

I also see that Leeds have a design for a HOTEL to be added to Elland Road (as predicted vocally by Brighton's finest at Ken Bates first game in charge).

Same as Porto's. Class. The steps do for the white stripes and the seats are the right shade of blue.

Fingers crossed, the club will opt for something similar.
