KivoOwl Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Can anyone with decent Photoshop skills do a mock up of how the West Stand would look with the gradient of the lower tier raised to the same angle as the upper tier? i.e. The back of the lower tier meets up with the front of the upper tier to make it a single tier stand. Would make the stand look a lot better and would enable the stand to be segregated vertically so Wednesdayites could go on there. Put a new North Stand style roof on the West too and it'd look fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The plans for the world cup with just a few tweaks are perfect, Last thing i want is a poo poo bowl type stadium like Boro, Leicester, Reading etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have to be a 'goalpost' structure like the South stand i.e. a girder over two large stanchions. But it could do with reprofiling into one tier as you suggest. Would certainly look sleeker and would give a better view from the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North & West Stand roofs would just be touching. Would look mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at work right now so I can't spend time on this, but here's a really quick mockup of how the seating could look, and the pillars removed.

darklord Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 think the world cup plans had the west stand as one didnt it. Think SYP would pass out if that was ever done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks good to me, Raise the roof and stick a line of exec boxes in then were all good plus loads of room below to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkskaphil Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 think the world cup plans had the west stand as one didnt it. Yes, they flattened the current seating into one large lower tier, but then put a second tier above it under a higher roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waddleisgod Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The plot of land that wednesdsyite use for match day parking should be acquired by Swfc It seems such a waste if it ends up been a car dealership etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wath-owl Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Why is the North-West corner such a weird shape by the way, rather than having a level back row? Is it because it was built around the old floodlight in that corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulsar Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Why is the North-West corner such a weird shape by the way, rather than having a level back row? Is it because it was built around the old floodlight in that corner? Was originally all terrace that continued onto Lepp Lower. Always looked fine in those days and for some optical illusion reasons always looked bigger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
