The proposed top tier must be huge then?

There’s a link a few posts above that gives you an idea of the scale.

Amazing, he's still playing. Aged 43.

Blimey, he is as well.

Bear in mind the boxes disappear and the top tier may over hang the lower tier so the eventual height may not be that much higher but loads more capacity for seats.

The view was always so good in upper north because of the boxes. It meant higher up but closer to the pitch!

The top tier is extended in all 4 directions.  At the front it's extended forard a few rows taking out the top layer of boxes.  At the rear it's extended upwards a few rows too.

Hang on, I'll find a pic...









The claret is all new - it shows the extensions to the top tier and the re-profiling of the lower tier.

I think it's going to be fantastic!

Yes it will really close that end in and improve both atmosphere and facilities

[chrisw1]

Yeah, it's a really good stand and as they keep the existing rake in the upper, it will still have a superb view.

I still think we missed an opportunity to go bigger, but all in all to create a stand that good in just 1 season is very good work.

Yeah, I am looking forward to seeing it from the Holte. The CGIs make it look really nice and I like the gap between the roof and the seats as it makes the whole thing look less like a dark pit of despair.

It might even make me see Northers as less of a bunch of cave-dwelling troglodytes who aren't allowed in the magnificent Holte End.
