They're not going to close the North stand to build an extension, you don't increase capacity, then decrease it again 2 years later.
There won't be one tier there will be two, the second tier will just be expanded, as per the drawing a few pages back, no need to close anything that way, it will be done in the same way the south stand has been done, just a slightly different design.
Hi mav couldn't help noticing on Sunday a lot of the people in the93-20 were coming out onto the main concourse to get food and drinks had a sneaky look inside its huge but was there problems with catering I've been moved from 216 to 215 new seats are fantastic
I can't see how there is any other option, without reducing crowds significantly, and they're not about to do that. You can build a new tier behind the other two, no reason why you can't extend the current second one in just the same way. The south stand was cleverly done, the north will be equally clever, just do away with corporate area between the two levels, and make it into seats.Most likely option in my opinion.

Losing 12k to gain 6k makes no logical sense at all, when you can lose none and gain 6k, that way you don't have any loss to make up.Let's say it holds 12K now, and could be increased by another 6K. Within 2 seasons you've made up the 'loss'.
No sign of prices coming down. Chelsea game was all good though. Hoping the excitement and enjoyment levels remain. Watford might be a very different game with different expectations.I can't see how there is any other option, without reducing crowds significantly, and they're not about to do that.

I'm not convinced we need to change the dynamics of where the singers are again, its only one home game, but the signs on Sunday were very good that we now have an area full of people who want to sing. Keep the prices down, similar to the south, and we'll get back lots of fans who have been priced out too, and they will generate more noise.
If they did it that way (I'm not convinced they will myself but it is possible) then the ST holders would take the Match day seats I'd have thought.A repeat of the South Stand would be the most logical (perhaps a few minor interior differences), but it's not our of the question to close a stand in order to rebuild it. Let's say it holds 12K now, and could be increased by another 6K. Within 2 seasons you've made up the 'loss'. It's no big deal business wise. The problem is upsetting existing season ticket holders - it's just not great PR (unless they can somehow manage to find a way to compensate them / find seats for them elsewhere in the ground.
Either way, can't wait - the place will become a atmospheric cauldron is the Chelsea game is anything to go by.
Nice one and by the way thanks for making me hungry looks the dogs in there couldn't get a proper look though coz of the bouncers haha enjoy blueI had no problem with the catering and must add that the fish, chips and mushy peas was excellent....particularly the fish!!.
