Spudulike Posted 3 August 2021 Share Posted 3 August 2021 46.2 metres high! That sounds huge but not sure how that compares with other stands such as the new one at Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know those plans are old I hope not though, surely if they're expanding the East stand outwards with a fans zone they won't want stream of cars driving through there . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would of thought the car park will be close to the hotel. Unless that gets it's own car park. Guests wont expect to walk miles with baggage.

Multi-stories are usually ugly buildings and would detract from the site as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also likely severely limit the potential to further expand as i imagine the Kop would be the other stand they would look to incease? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that 2 stories you would be level with the water table if not below it. Then if the river floods. Could be messy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want one anywhere near that height other than to stick away fans in (which is pretty much what they do). Away fans have to have at least some of their allocation pitch side. Newcastle and Man Utd were granted exemptions (even though they were at the time the only two with away fans not pitch side, making the change in rules completely and utterly pointless). That being said I really hope we split the away fans between the two tiers. The current away end at Filbert Way is probably one of the best in the league as the curve keeps them close together and helps to amplify the noise across the pitch. We should be doing all we can to mitigate that advantage imo. Edited 3 August 2021 by Sol thewall Bamba 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the Sir Alex Ferguson stand at Old Trafford? Swear that's the highest i've seen. The Newcastle one doesn't feel that massive to me because when you're there you're at the top. When i've been to Old Trafford that stand (the one opposite the away end, opposite the dugouts) has always looked stupidly tall to me but that's likely because i've always sat low to the pitch at away games there.

Think that about 56/58 similar to Anfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-stories are usually ugly buildings and would detract from the site as well. If I had to hazard a guess, the arena will be in the top right hand corner of the plan. The new access from that roundabout would bend around into a 180° bend where the new car park will be on the E.on site. Bear in mind you could Bury 2 story's of it underground and clad it in the same EFTE as the new stand facade. It makes sense though to keep all parking away from the arena and stadium and as near as possible to exiting the site. The main existing car park is mostly staying but not all. The new fan zone area and stadium circulation will eat into the existing parking to the corner of the East/South stands and be cut back. This will be for players and ground staff I assume but wil create lots more room for food stands and seating and landscaping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
