barn_owl Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 With money no object and an ideal world I would love the Kop & west demolished and south stand wrapped around both sides. This would give extra corporate facilities and option of permanent TV studio's when we are in premiership. This would allow us to stick away fans in west upper and home fans behind both goals. Second option would be north extended around to Kop and South extended around west stand filling in corners. Last option would be demolish Kop and west and wrap North around both sides. I'm dreaming I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deleted member Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 This is the original model for Hillsborough based on Eric Taylors vision. If you can imagine this, with the South Stand standing proud of it (as its higher), but with the Kop and West Stand taking on this look, with the backs of the above stands extended backwards to accomodate concourses, corners added in all four corners, the whole thing wrapped in glass... THAT is a Hillsborough to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ka58 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't get all the posts about our ground - I think it's a great, traditional stadium. I agree there's the odd thing that needed sorting - the pitch being the main one which was the worst I've seen it in years but not fussed about much else. It's fine as it is.

Guest ka58 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Loved going down to Hillsborough for over 50 years but it's ready for a significant upgrade. Why though? Things like toilets etc I get need doing now and again but what else does it really need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted member Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 More than 3 food outlets for 12000 on the Kop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Why though? Things like toilets etc I get need doing now and again but what else does it really need? Ideally needs pillars taking out and corners enclosing ( which would help with creating a better atmosphere amongst other things). Needs a general sprucing up all round too.

Guest ka58 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 More than 3 food outlets for 12000 on the Kop? Yeah fair does I get all that. It's all the changes to the stands I don't get. Don't want it just to become another sanitized stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted member Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Its the sanitised stadiums that generate the money for the clubs that play in them to progress. Otherwise they wouldnt sanitise them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they wouldnt sanitise them Don't think that has to be the case. Money's not everything either. Tradition and history are just as important.
