Good to see some things never change, no matter what.

Hehe... fairness to the kids serving they may be new recruits. I was served eficiently and was happy, even more as the drinkies were cheaper :)

Im no structural engineer, but it doesn't take a genius to work out that converting the North stand to a 'Dortmund wall' stand would be a massive ballache. If this goes through, I hope in years to come the east and Colin bell stands are done like the south stand. Having 3 different designs in one stadium will look odd.

I've just realised I'm moaning about our stadium being expanded, were spoilt.

What about some of the fast-pour beer pumps, like at Wembley?
A no-brainer surely

If they make one end into a huge 2nd tier, the atmosphere will be potentially infinitely better than split over 3 tiers.

It's fantastic that the club are considering this, & yet some people are half arsed about it. Then consider the possibility of a future safe standing area.

They read stuff like this & think 'ah it's probably not worh the effort, they're not that keen'.

Ffs get on it.

A bit off topic, but do United still play on a hill?

Not noticed it too much recently, but I remember for years, when the ball went out of play there, the players would have to descend down a 2-3 foot mound to retrieve it!

That's because it's built on a swamp.



Just back from hols so spent a couple of hours catching up on this thread/the expansion...

Great pics, esp from Jrb as usual and interesting info from Worsley... Maybe they're waiting another year for the NS designs so they can see how this 3rd tier works out atmosphere wise...? I like the fact that they're considering different options. My instinct would be to make it 3 tiers all the way around, but one new home tier sounds pretty good too! Although the Sheikh will probably have got bored by then eh?

Can't wait to take my seat on row S in 316 on Sunday. Card was on the doormat when I got home. -) More leg room sounds good. Or is it extra standing/dancing room?

Reckon I'll get in there early rather than do City Sq. Get to know the place. Can't wait to try out the acoustics!
