It's above the crossbar, granted..It's not well above the crossbar. But then I really suppose it all come down to how you like to view your football. I personally find that unless your up high behind a goal( i.e away end at Millwall) you can't really ever see what's happening at the other end, most of it is guesswork and waiting for the crowd reaction.Like I say, twenty years ago maybe, but West Stand Upper will do for me, even if I do need oxygen after climbing the stairs.

That's exactly what he said. We thought we had read that they were planning on renting the top floor out to a local business, hence the reason we asked when we got there during our tour. His answer was exactly as I wrote it before, and this was all before last season had even started. TB has his sights firmly set on reaching the top flight, sooner rather than later, I'm just glad to be along for the ride.

That is amazing. The only thing that really could improve the Amex is a big North Stand, it would be TREMENDOUS!!! But surely it would be a ball ache having to relocate the big screen and commentary boxes etc!?!

Think we may be getting wires crossed, the space will be used for additional administration etc when we get to the EPL, not for an extention to the North Stand, at least that's what I though he meant.

Its all a matter of personal taste, I prefer to watch football the traditional way and at the Amex despite being 20 rows back you feel really close to the action and get a good persprective. Personally if I want to watch a game with goals to the left and right I can watch it on TV

Bigger ball ache moving the arch thrust-blocks.
Spot on. The North Stand is out of proportion to the rest of the ground. From West Stand upper it looks smaller than Goldstone North Stand.

But the reason the main TV view is from the middle on the side, is because this is the best view of the whole game. Would be a bit stupid sitting at home and watching the whole game from a camera behind the goal. As Sky very quickly found out. That's why they are the cheapest, each to there own though.

Agree with DFPerm. The rest of the ground is coming up to a very decent standard now but the North Stand just looks far too small. Should be at least double the height. Is anyone aware of any contingency for increasing the North backwards?

But he is quite right though.
I cant see how we can increase the size of the North without completely altering the structure of the buiding, which isn't going to happen.
What we need is for terracing to come back, then we could probably fit another couple of thousand in. How many did they old North Stand at the Goldstone hold? 3,500? 4,000?
Imagine the Amex but with a 4,500 terrace at the North end.

Yes...the North Stand at the Goldstone rocked ! IMO the north corners need to be "part of the north stand " and that will help,the new South stand fans can forge their own brand as well !!!!!
