The North Stand

[olaftab]

I've only ever sat in the North Stand once, it was horrible. I assume it was designed with midgets in mind.

I sit in the  upper Witton End and I have no problem with seats. I am an average person height and weight wise and not a mid get!  However the situation at HT with toilets access etc is unacceptable in this day and age.

What will they do with all the fans who sit in there while construction goes on?

You would think that the new stand wouldn't be fully open until maybe the January/February of the season if demolition/construction started in May.

It must hold about 7500 with perhaps 3000 season ticket holders? The capacity would go down to 35000, maybe lower if they need to join the lower tier of the new North to the Trinity and Witton Lane.

Away fans may take a hit a I suppose, but you would guess that they would be scattered to the wind. I was a season ticket holder in the old Trinity and we were put in the upper tier of where the away fans are now, but I swapped soon after for the upper Holte.

From what I understand, the plan is to upgrade the existing stand, making it wider and improving facilities, as well as incorporating the ticket office, club shop etc.  Decisions like this aren't solely based on increased attendance, its about improving what we currently have...bear in mind that by the time its done, the North Stand will be nearly 40 years old, and that's a lifetime in football.  It has to be done.

be interested to hear more des, but I doubt they would would extend what is already there, more likely they would replace the upper tier at least and most likely the whole lot if seeking to redevelop that end of the ground.

won't be started until after the rugby world cup at the very soonest

Get them to help out

Put specific away fans in that section; Man U/Chelsea come to mind. Tell them to keep an eye out for falling concrete.

I agree with the suggestions so far but, in the final stand, I would want away fans in a third tier if it exists, like we have to endure in the north east.

Creates apprehension. It's scarier walking into a dark room knowing there might be a monster in there.
