It is an imposing structure already. Much moreso than the sides, for some reason.

All the air conditioning and back up generators and all that crap will underneath the terracing to get to the top of the tier you have to walk up from lower entrances.
Much like this where the club name is.

Is that proposed new area for away fans just the top tier or does it go all the way from pitchside up?

Ta.

Pity really, I was hoping we'd stick them all up with the birds, I think it gives the away side an advantage playing into their own fans behind the goal.

On that, why is it we invariably shoot towards the North Stand second half?

Because the family stand makes more noise.

Does it? I've been in both in recent years and found the South Stand to be a better atmosphere. Less early leavers too.

The new singing section wanted the away fans to stay put but dont forgot the new away fans section is a much thinner strip now and spread over three tiers which is rubbish.

Arriving at Piccadilly on the train the stadium looks fantastic, but I can't help thinking how immense it'll look if/when we build a tier on the other end. It'd be worth visiting just to look at in itself.

I think the away fans should be in a corner somewhere like at the swamp or the Emirates, even if it meant building something extra.

They'll say it's not possible, but it is; they have just built a new stand on top of another one..

I don't use trains that often, but that's always a nice bonus when I do.

Or a fourth tier cantilever all around. Might be dead by then though!
