1. Make sure the fans are as close to the pitch as possible. Have a look at HKR for an idea of what not to do!

2. A standing area

3. No stupid voids between the stands like Goons and Hudds.

4. Compact so you get an atmosphere.

5. A leaky roof above where Phil Clarke will sit.

6. A throne on a high vantage point for sir mick to commentate from.

Fantastic idea!

I can't spake!

'well bugger my booits'

(not you railwayend)

What would give the team more of an home advantage ?

Standing down one side for home support - The South Stand and Saints are grounds where there is most influence on the ref with partizan support down the sides. They bully the ref.

If all seater - still make one side the 'home support' side and give the away fans an 'end'. Some Cas fans will no doubt complain that they have watched Cas for 105 years and have always stood at one end...tough - times have changed !

Imagine if Cas support is at one end and then give Hull / Hull KR / Leeds etc a 'side'. We might aswell give them 6pts start or play all our games away !!

When Cas fans travel they always seem to be more 'up for it' (apart from at Wakey /Bulls / Leeds - no roof !) They back the team better...(as most of the boo boys are sat in the pub). When away teams travel to our new ground, they will also be 'up for it'. Giving them one side and giving Cas support one end, would be one of the most stupid decisions of all time - with detrimental effect on team performance !!

Again Sir i bend to your whim

Can I bugger your armpit then?

I forgot two. How about a permenant sky screen that we can use as a scoreboard on non sky days and maybe even get 1st half highlights on at half time.

Also cashless kiosks where you open an account and get a card with cash on you can use on stalls and vending machines to speed up queues.

Manless turnstiles too like at Headingly/Tyncastle/Elland Road.

I'm sorry to disappoint people, but I don't think we are in a position to dictate what we as fans would like in a stadium. I persoanlly think that the main thing is that it gets built, and I'll just accept and learn to love whatever we end up with.
What's the other option?? We procrastinate for another 18 months and end up with a statement from the club that echos exactley everything we've heard for the last 2 years.........oh wait hasn't that just happened?

Wont the bidding architects be putting in outline drawings and giving some sort of estimated cost ? If that's the case then i don't see why we can't give a bit of input.

Nobody's saying that. I refer you to the OP



I agree it just needs building, but whilst the ground is a dream, let us dream

Quumfing? Have you descovered new depths of depravivity. What is this quimmfing of which you speak?
