I suggest we elect a committee here and send the honourable members to Dortmund to find out how to build a proper football stadium. Any volunteers?
About 10,000 safe standing to start with should be on the list.

The other case for sticking with 4 stands - how many grounds with a pitch well renowned for it's quality have the corners filled in?

Arsenal.

That's a case for 10+ years ago. With modern pitches & technology most pitches a pretty much perfect all year.

I think that's the small stand at Dortmund too.  The big one behind the goal, the Sudtribune, holds 25,000!!!

I'd be worried that a rounded North Stand would make the Holte stick out like a sore thumb. The pressure would be on to then *modify* the Holte and then the ground would be an odd-shaped bowl.

That Dortmund end is amazing. Anything like that would just be the business.

And the Holte held 28,000. Want one- we had one.

A return to the Grassy Knoll would be a big improvement on how it looks now, or maybe put a rock face there like Braga did.
