Apologise if this has already been posted......but doesn't this look smart ! Two things, aside from it being hugely exciting. The new Railway End has those side panel thing at the side of the stand, between the roof and the side. Can somebody please install those in the Cheadle End, save me getting soaked in LT1. Much obliged. Second, and it's a mere footnote but the only thing I really dislike is a big standalone video scoreboard in the corner. It screams miserable new build ground. The whole vision for the ground is outstanding but I honestly think that very minor thing brings it down a notch. Appreciate it's personal opinion but if there was a way to incorporate a scoreboard into one of the stands, rather than having it in the corner, I'd be very happy. And me ..just like selhurst park... that would do nicely..... it would look brilliant

Can't really put the scoreboard any where else really without an area of the ground having restricted or no access to it

Shame they can't rework the mainstand roof enough to get rid of those pillars.

Remember talking about this a while back and there's no chance without raising the roof (ha ha) massively to have a goalpost-type structure like the Cheadle End (and it'd have to be over twice as high as the current roof), or have cantilever supports that would extend out over Hardcastle Road, so would also be a non-starter.

Spoke to someone today at EP who said it’s likely no work will begin until end of coming season (agree that’s likely due to entrance and exit issues), also that the police box will go in the upper corner of the new railway end stand. Also apparently a new turnstile/exit is required for the away fans, not sure if that is for coming season or when the new development is done. It also looks like the new office work being done could see them built out towards Hardcastle Road.

It’s f*cking beautiful I hate theses soulless bowls, it is the exact opposite and thank f*ck for that Even if only the main stand was extended both sides and the new railway end was built..... that would give us over 15000 capacity and also a 4 sided ground with unique symmetry It would still look the part

I think the majority have gone for corners in fairness. Highbury had one, Ewood Park and the Valley do. Those are just off the top of my head I’m sure there are more. Not just in awful new builds Yeah a roof would be great but we’d need at least two in that instance, which would probably mean extra work on the Cheadle End too.

Just noticed houses behind the Pop Side. Assuming MS has bought the land behind there, is this a way of part financing the build?
