If you moved it to the other end of the ground, it wouldn't be The Holte End. Unless you moved the pub, too.
I thought about rebuilding the north stand with a big single tier and renaming it the Holte but it wouldn’t be right.When the new Holte was built I don’t think we could build over the road but they subsequently let the new Trinity be built over the road. So I reckon with a slightly wider and squarer shape we could get 20k. Do Dortmund fans complain about the view at the back of their stand??

Rebuild the North Stand make it 15,000. I don't think they'll touch the Holte. I don't think we could get a single tier 20,000 Stand even if they wanted to. The Yellow Wall wraps around the sides but we don’t have the room at the Holte End. It would have to reach a ridiculous height to achieve 20,000 plus. Imagine having your ticket in Row ZZZ. I have to say, maybe clouded in my excitement at just being back at the football, but all things considered, the ground looked fantastic. I’m wondering now if I was stood next to a poster on here, because he was moaning through most of the game (believe it or not) and missing handrail paint would’ve been right up his street.

Do Dortmund fans complain about the view at the back of their stand??No they don't but if you think about it the Holte holds 13,500 which is around 7,000 less than the Yellow wall but it's way narrower so the height is probably very similar. I'd love to see 5he actual stats for both stands. I'm a bit of a football ground nerd.
The two tiered Holte is fine, I think. It's our iconic stand, the one everybody respects, the one that least needs changing.
