We should all pile into the North stand and let the away fans stand in the rain in front of the east!

Think more people will change ends at half time once the stands are finished.

i was thinking along those lines myself but it seemed so simple i assumed it had already been explored and rejected.

Indeed - safe to assume that the architects and engineers involved in designing the project will have explored all the possibilities.

Demolish the west terrace and put a whole new stand there, build a decent bog behind the sticks along with the planned stand, Belle Vue would be decent.

In year 2 my next project would be to build an all seater grandstand on the Eastern side with corporate boxes.

Year 3 would sell of the flats and build a terrace with a home bar at the back.

Hope my numbers come in on the lottery....

When they move on to the North terrace, does anyone know if anything's likely to happen to the floor first? Will it be levelled or just covered with a roof?

Buy Superbowl & level the land to give us more room to play with & provide some more on site parking (with a small turning circle for the park & ride). Use proposed NM park & ride sites.

Phase 1 Build a new east stand (5000 seated capacity), with corporate boxes. Make this the "family stand". New TV gantry included.

Phase 2 Dig out the north terrace and build a new stand similar to the newest one at Headingly, some seating & a small standing section at the front. Designate for home fans.

Phase 3 Knock down & remove the current buildings & stands on the western terrace & replace with new covered terrace with toilets & amenities underneath. Make western terrace open to away & home fans.

Phase 4 Remove the flats & replace with modern covered terracing. Officially make the new south terrace an away only stand & designate the western terrace for home fans.

Bang, brand new BV.

Would cost 10 times as much as NM, be even worse in terms of planning regulations & cripple an already exhausted traffic network. But if we're playing make believe it sounds great!

Oh & buy BV while we're at it!

Yes please!! Those were the days - everyone would wait to see which way they were playing and then spend the next five minutes getting behind the sticks at that end. I used to love the crush under the old west stand at half time when both sets of supporters would try to swap ends at the same time.
But seriously - with a roof I think it would be much better if Trinity filled the north end. Let the away fans be spread out down the sides.

They really don't mess about do they?

Looks good - bit more advertising space to sell too.

will there be a back to the stand or will it just be open at the back ?

Lets hope behind the goals is done just as quickly.

The whole project will be completed by the time we play Catalans on 25th March.

That'll be a no, then!
