It's the clever bit imho. If you can't do quantity do quality.

I think at best we will average 7-8000. Not bad but to make up the difference then you offer a more comprehensive match day experience to those with money to spend. The fact that there is limited space in the east stand makes it exclusive and we all know how some folk will pay for that.

Not interested myself I'm happy to stand with me bottle of pop. But if people will pay big money for bars, boxes and lounges I'm happy to oblige. For me that is where the extra cap money is hiding.

Looks about a 500 seats excluding the boxes to me - that's club five hundred right there. That's a £500 season ticket and that's serious money and they haven't bought a drink yet.

I think MC is already setting the groundwork with the platinum season ticket or whatever it's called.

Also let's be honest if the stadium comes off we £250 plebs are hardly slumming it looking at those plans.

I like the open piazza as you walk up - but where does it fit? And again - no car parking appears to be obviously apparent on those models.

Looks great though - and makes me even more certain that some of the surrounding property will be bought up and levelled.

Don't like the plastic chairs

If you look at 88M's website one of their areas of expertise is in building car parks.

Looking at the drawings, the old changing rooms and wall to the west and north stand remains. I wonder if they're being protected for heritage reasons? Overlaying the design onto a map and it looks like the only additional property which requires removal would be the house and kitchen showroom, the rest appears to remain the same.

I don't know why people are getting hung up on parking, as long as there's disabled parking and a bit of parking for players/staff/opposition then it's not really any different to what we have now. Itd be nice to have some, but it's not critical or a deal breaker in my mind.

The addition of the corporate area looks like a good use of the East stand, I wonder if the plan would be to have all corporate on the East stand (opposite the sky cameras so it always gets TV publicity for the corporate sponsors), then a fair split with home taking the North end and away taking the South, with the West stand mixed supporter seating (not on camera as it's less likely to be filled)

Do you think there be gym facilities behind/underneath one of the stands or will it be purely retail and conveniences?

Don't post on here often (hence user name still wildcats!) but do read our forum quite a lot.

One thing that springs to mind from looking at the designs is they seem to have open sections between the back of the stands and roof? I hope these are filled in to generate a very atmospheric new stadium.

Langtree Park is renowned for having a poor atmosphere and the open sections have created a bit of a wind tunnel.

I really like the look of the stadium though and think the hospitality has a real draw to making it very unique especially for the middle class Wakey supporters....

I know we are on a much smaller scale to this but I know Tottenham put a lot of thought into atmosphere in their new design and I hope we create a kop end. I don't want us to become to nal of rugby league!

If any of you want to share a box with me should this come off, I am up for that!

how good does it look!!! I will be flying over for the first game in the new stadium--

is it a dream or reality??

You do know there is a bus from Airdale?

The car park answer is a small multi storey for me.
Access not great but no worse than now but much more room for the footprint and easy to keep secure.

I like the piazza (spell?) Open areas as well. Good for events and just makes the place look new and inviting.

I'm involved in a development like this right now - where we're trying to fit more on a site than it will actually take - and we're going underground with parking; it's not cheap, but it has solved a huge problem.

Underground, just what I was thinking.
On the east stand. I like the present design. A family area, that's what it seems to be right now with the seats of course and then added to that the corp. area. Obviously the whole thing needs raising to bring the new paddock above pitch level. Keeps some of the tradition and atmosphere of the place too.
