Expanding COMS! 3 Tiers or 1 Large Stand At One End?

[jrb]

Which would you prefer? 3 tiers as in the photoshop picture below or a 1 large stand similar to the KOP?

You would be able to make both ends 3 tiers high, but if you wanted one large stand, you could only do that at the North stand as there isn't enough land/space at the South Stand.

Either.

or a stand silmilar in size to what was going to be the new KOP. (not shape)

How it could be done. (With a roof added of course.)

Interesting post from Mancityfans.net. (could this proposal really be happening on the QT)

This has been mentioned before and i can confirm that City have put out the tender to architects to design our ground to become a 60,000 capacity stadium. My friend works for one of the architects that has tendered. All it involves is re-designing the North & South Ends. Remember, The Emirates used the plans for Citys ground as a template for their stadium so use that as your base as to how Eastlands will look in 3 or 4 years.

The long-term plan is that City will have a new training ground next to the existing stadium, as well as developing large areas of adjacent lands to create a sports village. However, the club still have to raise the idea with Manchester city council, which will have the ultimate say as owners of the stadium

Something I posted on another forum in July.

The interesting bit. Manchester City FC/ADUG have their own idea's of what they think should be and what they want around COMS and the surrounding area. Obviously MCC have their own idea's as to what they want to see on the Super Casino site and Sports City site. Discussion's continue. One would assume there is a difference of opinion? That's me just guessing. I'm usually wrong.

You do realise that this will mean there'll be a lot more seats for you to count don't you mate?

One big stand would be amazing.

The concern is that if we increase the capacity which i definetly want to happen, would the view be as good?

I hope they tendered it out to the guys who built the Yas Marina for them!

Ha! Quality!

Indeed my friend. You remembered. Lol! How many left now?

Back to topic. I would love to see a Kop style North Stand, rather than a stand with 3 tiers. Having seen similar stands in Germany, it would be immense. I would make the lower section a singing section though. With 1/3 of the stand singing, the other 2/3rds would follow.

1 large stand at one of the ends for the singing end :D would be quality

When it happens (5 years?) it'll probably be just another third tier, but if possible making a huge one tier'd stand would be amazing. I'd even settle for a two tier'd stand like the current South Stand but with second tier made huge like at the Nou Camp.
