They look like they're directly above SJP very obviously a subtle way to wind up the mackems by featuring their haymarket fortress in these photos. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, he mentions the East stand being made of glass, tbh I reckon he got that from here. I think there are plans but Edwards isn't in the know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3978 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I think Shepherd's plans had 8k at the Gallowgate so only 5k in the east stand, even by means of something spectacular, doesn't seem worth it to me - if those are the figures of course.

Think right to light is the main obstacle in getting planning permission in normal developments. Same here I imagine, not that students deserve light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobElliott 970 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 All we really need is an extra 8k seats to take us to 60k and means we can host major finals etc and be a big money spinner. I understand that Man City are doing just that to the Etihad, plus building hotels and shopping centres so imagine it will end up looking like the area around Ajaxs stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38767 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 It’s a nice video, but the last two options can’t happen- Leazes Terrace and Leazes Park are both listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5910 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Option B is an optical illusion and would eat up half the pitch Option C is what Spurs did, but they had to move to Wembley for 2 seasons to finish the ground off. We don't have that option If we could squeeze 11,000 extra seats into option A it would give us the 2nd largest stadium in the league 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t see how option B or C work. The new expanded east stand looks great in that animation but goes almost flush against Leazes terrace. There are obvious planning and access issues stopping that from ever happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
