What would you prefer to come first, the upper east tier or the corners filled in?

[Max Paper]

IF IT WAS ONE OR THE OTHER

Poll to follow if I can work out how to do it? Dont hold your breath...

 

[Racek]

Corners for me.

Corners for me.

Really? have you seen the East stand?

 

[pasty]

For the view for the people that would sit there, the upper East tier, but for the general look of the stadium as a whole, the corners.

This.

Ive not been there as yet so maybe not for me to say. I do think it would look a lot better with them filled in but maybe im being greedy!

 

[brakespear]

which one of the two would get more seats in? whichever one that is then that one.

Corners. That's a hell of a lot of triangular concrete crying out for a load of seats to fill them.

 

[Max Paper]

I've not been either, and I hope aaron doesn't mind me using one of his pis as an example, but look!

Corners , they can be done during the season , the additional tier would have to be done off season.

It also has to be appreciated that the corners are 'compleecated' as it is essential that access is retained for vehicles required for maintenance, emergency services, not to mention that 'probabiltity of future expansion so there may be an order in which things have to be done.

But let's fill the Amex this coming season and thereafter, so that particular problem can reside with the board who will, I am sure, be more than happy to consider it in due course.

East Upper looks as though it would only hold about 173 seats in that thin strip - anyone know how many seats would go up there? East Upper being completed with seats would make the ground look less 'lop-sided'

Either way, It beats The Theatre of Trees on a wet Tuesday night in February, or the landfill near Thornton Heath.

Will corporate boxes not be filling that top stretch then?

 

[severnside gull]

fill the holes in the South?

It looks that way but I think the plan would involve the upper East coming way down over what you see there. You are probably talking about 3000/4000 seats there (as I have read previously). With the corners, that would take overall capacity up to 30,000 plus.

Your's in Alzheimers (cannot remember how to spell it ! )

When the corners get filled in, the south east corner will have a mezzanine floor put in above with corporate boxes above, not sure about the east stand but can find that out if needed.
As soon as the traffic infrastructure has been proved, all the other extra building works applications for increasing the capacity will be submitted

Is that definite about the south east mezzanine? Will it be mirrored in the west ?

 

[moggy]

Only know the south east is definate....

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I wonder what other little bits and bobs are lined up? The stadium is immense but it's going to look incredible when all the extra work is completed.
