It was more to show the space created between the new exterior and the current exterior at the back of the second tier where a store etc could go.
But if the cap fits :)

Like you no idea but wouldn't the rake of the current level two be quite shallow and the extension would have to be raked very steep to get the desired number of seats in.
You would think level 2 would have to close to get a steep enough rake ?

yes it would be fantastic, it's not impossible to do it, if you look at the Dortmund picture see the meccano type thing along the top maybe someting like that would help keep the roof up if that's where the problems are with a complete end
I'm not either, if it could be done it would look the dogs, but it would need new planning permission so will keep my eyes on MCC Planning over the next few months. If the build is scheduled to begin in the new year as I understand then plans would need to go in sooner rather than later.

One tier option - highly unlikely
Two tier option - possible but would need another planning app

If the two tier design could be done it may mean loosing more or all the seats in level 2 as it's built or is this not the case ? Perhaps somebody with engineering or architecture background could advise. My money is till on three tiers with current South Stand cooperate spaces being used for something like a new ticket office / club shop.

People talking about the 'rake' of the stand having to be the same, I don't understand why. It's not he same at the front of the stands as the rest, so why can't they just build it how they like, to fit the space, if necessary going up in a curve or in sections rather than straight ?
And surely they can build it from the back, same as the South stand, then join it up close season, no matter if it's one tier two tiers or 3 tiers ? I don't see how that makes any difference during the season either.
If it had to be a two tier stand, I would try to make one of the tiers small & the other huge. However that fit in the space best. So it was as close as possible to being a one tier stand. Even if it meant not maximising the possible capacity. The 3 tier design fucks up the atmosphere of the ground imo.

The original consolation for the new stands was July 2013.
South Stand expansion was officially announced early October 2013.
Further drawings were released early November 2013.
If they follow the same trend then we may only be a month away from confirmation.
