Guest Grez Bez Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) I have knocked up an image (On SketchUp) of how I think the kop could look if we were to build back to Penistone Road and take the height to the top of the south stand. It's also extended above the directors car park and meets the South Stand....... There is a VAST amount of space there that we could use for facilities/ office / corporate / whatever you can think of. I am by no means artistic so go easy on me . I've done it purely out of boredom! Thoughts welcome. Not sure if the images show it but the middle is a timeline of images showing our history; I chose these randomly so I'm sure there are far better choices....... Note: I also did a version where the blue is grey; I think that would look more sustainable in real life and happy to share if anyone cares...

Big Ron's Sovereign Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Nice but SAG would stop it as all the exits are still straight on to Penistone. The Kop apart from posts doesn't really need much work as yet. We have much more pressing issues, can you do a design for the Lepp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I like the Aldi inspired design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manwithastick Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 so is it basically built over the current open air concourse behind the turnstiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling Wolfe Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Would look good and give some areas that could be used to raise revenue on non-match days. Funnily enough I was driving past today with the wife and told her we are the only club with a tree inside the stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl14 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Like the idea and looks nice and modern but there are two issues with it the kop is one of the only stands that Dosent really need redeveloping just repairing New cladding or paint take out pillars wider gangways apart from that it's pretty good and atmosphere wise it's rather good too but still like the idea of filling out the space were all the grass/ trees are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the empty exec boxes are very realistic facing out onto penistone road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never go down at half time, unless you want to miss the last five minutes of a game you won't get served. The amount of space available to utilise is unbelievable. A torn to the ground and rebuilt kop, taking away the iconic mound (but rebuilding it the same) could give an awesome amount of extra revenue year on year. Extra toilets, extra boxes (if we don't out price them, that is!) etc. Not to mention if the land opposite HAS been bought by the club, an overhead passage to exit the ground into a multi storey carpark, to restaurants, to other facilities.

It would require a whole support structure to be built over the Kop roof. Major surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago i saw a 'big mac' steaming away in the sink on the Kop toilets, Toilets must have been full or blocked so he must have decided to drop em and block the sink with a Brad Pitt!
