I don't know about the trinity but when they did the DE it was done entirely in-house and without an architect. I suppose the end result was not too bad. The main problem is the small concourse in the upper tier, however they had to reduce the stand's footprint due to the objections of the residents of the houses facing the stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the plan. I did a tour of Villa Park recently and the tour guide was saying that work should start in the next 18 months or so. However, they probably need another 15,000 seats to accomodate all the people waiting for season tickets but they can probably only add another 10,000 to the current 9,000 capacity of the North stand so there will still be a shortfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 What would peoples preferred option be for a new north stand ? Like spurs single tier end stand or the new a field road end ? The theoretical max capacity for an end stand based on current regs and c-values is around 17k - current north stand capacity is just over 7k . Shame we couldn’t have built the trinity bigger as it currently seats 13.5k compared to new main stand at Anfield which seats 20.5k and the SAF stand at OT which seats 25.5k.

I think I actually prefer anfield. We already have the Holte end and the “To Dare Is To Do” motto is sickening and doesn’t make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Think it would be a waste of Real estate not using the corners. Be it for boxes, restaurants, bars, toilets or seats. Edited January 22, 2022 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 It would have to be corners and probably 2 or 3 tier given the land layout and to be consistent with the trinity and DE. They may market the corner between the trinity and new stand as a extension of the trinity and put more exec facilities, and maybe the main part behind the goal be marketed more as a Holte mark II. I am making wild guesses here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current North Stand is more like 7,000. It was originally designed for 5K seating upper and 5K lower terrace. That why it is too small and the goalpost roof design is a major constraint.

thabucks Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 A rebuilt North Stand would take the capacity to around 52k. Witton stand and holte cannot be expanded easily. Adding a 3rd tier to the trinity is in theory doable and could add around 6-7k with the corners of the 2nd tier squared off taking VP to just under 60k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I know this is swearing in church but moving forward VP will be holding the club back if we intent to compete with the biggest boys. Even if it's rebuild and modernized. Hides for cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
