The Fun Factory Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I am not an engineer but I can't see how we can add 3,000 seats by reconfiguring the lower Holte, unless we put the pitch in some type of water well. I believe the reason why we have the odd angle of seats in the lower Doug Ellis was when they had to reprofile the seats after they added the top tier. Initially they just put seats on the old Witton Lane banking but had to change it, which lowered capacity and obscured some of the seats in the far corner of the lower Holte. It basically showed that there was no masterplan and Doug did it in-house to save money. Hope these lessons have been learnt for the new North Stand.

spiezels Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Very very cool! The idea of being able to watch away games on a big screen with a load of others that can’t make it is epic. Love the brick work. Exciting times… football aside Edited August 25, 2022 by spiezels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 All looks amazing. If only we can get it right on the pitch. Can’t believe how everything is brilliant off the pitch but awful on the pitch. These new pictures of the North Stand and additional area look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with a transluscent roof plus then also that curtain walling and the section drawing which showed the really high ceiling on the main concourse the use of light will be brilliant, really light and airy on the day light games but then on the night assuming they'll then of course use modern LED lighting and with the right positioning the stand could have an amazing glow to it (depending on light pollution during planning) Its a great design Edited August 25, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villa89 Posted August 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2022 Looks fantastic, can't wait to see it completed. Spare a thought* for our unfortunate neighbours down the road and their ongoing troubles with the closed stand(s). They can't even dream of something like this. *That thought is "forever in our shadow, mate" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
