Would be nice to have summat like that on the exterior, or better yet, a replica of the old red brick facade. So the stand looks a bit less like a big shed or industrial warehouse from the outside.

So the stand looks a bit less like a big shed or industrial warehouse from the outside. I'm no expert, would that be easy to do? An exact replica of the original would be difficult, owing to the different size of the two stands. But a frontage more sympathetic to our history could be constructed, I am sure. The new Holte and the red brick facade at Fenway Park show what can be done. I'd love us to replicate the Red Brick frontage. As a short term fix, I think replacing the mental sheets with photos of Various legends would make a hell of a lot of difference. The new Kop at Anfield is a different type of red brick design. Largely plain, but with enough space on the glass to include images of their players:If reports are to be believed, the old Trinity had to go, with the amount of rot that was found in both corners. The new Trinity doesn't lack for facilities either, I think most would agree with that. But it does suffer in comparison to the original, and the look of it from street level is a part of that. Outside of Wembley (and possibly Ibrox) we went from having a stand with the finest entrance in British football to one that looked like a bigger version of the type of thing you would find at Boro, Sunderland, Hull and other Legoland grounds.
There isnt a single redeeming feature on the road facing external side of the Trinity... Even the new lego stadiums at least have an obvious entrance/focal point.
