steveger Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Only the South Stand looks fit for purpose these days, the North looks majestic but in an old fashioned ageing sort of way, the kops a dump an eyesore, looks like an old warehouse from the outside and the leppings lane end should have been levelled after the disaster. In my opinion FFS Edited February 18, 2018 by steveger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazaston Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Its a far better sight than that pit down the lane with its painted over pink cladding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the North Stand looks decent. Didn't think I'd ever say it, and maybe it's the camera angle but i think the ground and the immediate surrounding area look a complete shxt hole in that photo.

Anlaby Owl Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) I think the more recent additions just look out of place. Maybe it's my age but I barely recognise the place from that photo. Edited February 19, 2018 by Anlaby Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepcar_lights Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 4 unique stands in much need of some TLC. Well you'd knock the lepp down completely... wouldn't you? I wouldn't be sad to see it go. Far too much associated negatives.That sheet on the exterior is hilarious. Let's talk about Kop leg room while we're at it - so uncomfortable! When I go on Kop I have to get aisle seats. Anyone over 6 ft I'd love to know how you manage that every other week. Drone pics always welcome. Can you take it inside, or would you get in bother?

Isn't it just a case of supporting brackets (or whatever those wrap around things at the back of the North Stand roof are called)? Could we retrospectively do it? The pillars could be moved to the side by jacking up the roof, taking the present supports out and placing a stronger beam in spanning the roof. The roof wouldn't weigh that much so could be held up by cranes whilst the beam is put in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have to weigh up the option of a complete re-build vs modification through an investment appraisal- assessments of the scope of what are feasible options, benefits vs disbenefits and costs. Sure there are other priorities in terms of infrastructure regeneration in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there are other priorities in terms of infrastructure regeneration in the ground. It would need all working out that's for sure, but with my limited knowledge working in heavy construction I don't see it being too difficult, the way the roof is constructed there's wouldn't be a heavy burden on the beam, it would certainly be cheaper and less intrusive than a reconstruction. But yes, rebuilding the West Stand should be the main priority. 39 minutes ago, dazaston said: Where would you set these cranes on a million pound pitch? You could site the cranes on the carpark at the back, then use pullys on the existing beam to hoist the new one in place, an 80m beam would be a doddle for Brunel.
