61,968…
Couldn’t we squeeze in a few more to make it bigger than London Stadium proposal. (Increase from 60,000 to 62,500)

Presume that's just the stand,not all the additioal builings ? Which is about the same time scale of the South extension.

It is, and I expect that will be just the internal stand not back of house. Hotel and offices will be in Aug 2026.

They started the groundworks for the South Stand in February 2014. Construction didn't start until July/August 2014 with the stand opening in August 2015. If they start construction in the next few weeks then they'll have many months more of development time to get the new North Stand up and running when compared to the South. Obviously, the other structures could slow things down a bit but I could see them prioritising the stand itself at the expense of the hotel/City Square etc if they felt it wouldn't be ready for August 2025.

The older stadium looked much better and blended in to its historic local surroundings. That looks terrible in my view though it is the inside which matters most of course.

Not impressed with that ! May look better when it's lit up but looks like a glorified slow cooker !
