To suggest that as a long term Trinity fan that you don’t know what’s behind the West terrace is utterly laughable.

Your overlong outburst just shows I’ve hit a nerve, You don’t half sound like a certain serial moaner from RW&B at times, surely not! He’s got an obsession/jealousy issue regarding previous owners.

Break your heart if got to know Matt Ellis, might happen

your post makes no sense, but it came from you, so not unexpected.

Personally I’d prefer to upgrade the Northstand before touching the west. I look at Headingley as a prime example of looking after your own before looking after the visitors. Long term obviously needs sorting.

Would it not be beneficial though to have whatever we have planned for there to be either done, or in process before the 2025 season starts.

For me, I would go with covered terracing, but the terracing to be more elevated and re laid, with a stand.

I think where ME was going with it was a similar idea to Craven Street, but surely, we'd want our own fans to utilise it, which then asks the question where do away fans go.

He spoke about a Craven Street type of approach in front of the flats.

I don't see that being an issue as most of the sun is from the other side and not the ground side. In fact in the summer months the old East stand was a right sun trap and on sunny evening games you needed sun glasses to see the game. Anyhow you never know, but these are certainly interesting times

You could leave the terracing then where it flattens at the back create a platform or raised area for media, seats or bars. For a roof, think I’ve read before that the historical height of the old west stand can help get future applications passed if it doesn’t go any higher? Might be wrong just something I’ve heard. Wonder where the funding would also come from as surely that would carry a substantial price to do anything there. But Ellis did say on the radio he wanted it done by 2025 season

Personally, money permitting, I'd buy all the houses behind the West Stand, remove the right to light isssues, create a fan zone, and go with a lower terrace with seated upper tier. I'd like to get the camera angle as high upmas possible.

Ah, but doing any upgrade of the West terrace in 2024 has the added bonuses of reducing our capacity, and thus maintaining our "utilisation" score, as well as increasing our capacity/fan comfort/facilities, for when the bigger attendances return in 2025.

Fair point, though RFL haven't decided how they are going to deal with utilisation if you close a stand.

I do like Craven Street though I'm not sure there's enough room. But I'm sure he'll make it work.

Please stop picking fights Vastman.
Really no need for it.

You make good points. Just discuss them like the rest of us please.
