Fill in the corners of the North stand and then re-name it, got to be Ron Saunders stand IMO.

Whenever I drive past on the M6 or A38, I make sure to salute The Hallowed Ground. Agree that the North Stand needs doing to make it complete. It is better located and better looking than any other FAPL stadium. When will the club rise up to realise that potential??!!

Do not fill in the corners.
Okay so we don't have the unique stands we used to have but I still like look of four separate stands.

She's beautiful.

Forgetting the Villa connection, it's a great picture showing an inner city area that's greener than many people would think.

More trees in Birmingham than any other city in the UK, fact!

Fact ?
How many trees are there then? What counts as tree ? At what point does something become a tree and not just a shrub? Are we  talking just the many trees in public spaces of Birmingham or are we including trees in peoples gardens ? Because I lost a tree a couple of years back that had been dying off a while, nobody has been round to count my trees. Unless they are spying on us secretly and counting them.
Do we really have more trees numerically than London ? Per hectare I am sure we do, but in total ?

Just accept it.

 It's a fact!

Yep the green city.

With Birmingham having the Largest inner city Park in Europe and a much larger land mass area than Sheffield it's likely that Sheff as much as I like the palce can even be seen in the same company on tree count.

Our stadium deserves much better than is being currently served up.  Will never forget walking up the steps and looking out onto the pitch for the first time.

There are more than 200 woods, parks and gardens here (that cover more than 60% of the area of the city) and something like 2.5 million trees. Over a third of the city is in the Peak District National Park.

from birmingham.gov.uk "There is a modern urban myth that Birmingham has more trees than any other European city. Although no survey has been conducted, aerial photographs suggest that this may well be true."

Not only is the ground magnificent, it must be the only sporting stadium situated in the old grounds of an equally magnificent Elizabethan stately home. Unique throughout the whole world I would have thought?

Jacobean. Completed 1635. Elizabeth I died in 1603.
I knew I'd get that wrong! History was never my strong point! Thanks!

Sheffield has 47000 acres (or 190 square kilometers) of green space. Brum has 8000 of parkland of which Sutton covers 2400.

Sheffield has too many hills to be considered a proper city.
