Would it be just two seasons though, if it is that extensive a change? Likely longer.
And the extra cost of the additional demolition, actual reconstruction and changes to an existing structural set-up, etc.
Would it really be worth it, and how quantifiable is the improvement to the atmosphere to really compare the two.
I dare bet the club considered it btw, for what it's worth.
Not a chance we ever considered closing the entire stand for the final 18 months of Pep’s era.Would it be just two seasons though, if it is that extensive a change? Likely longer.

The reality is once the new stand is built is it will be filled with new fans and tourists. Even if a couple of thousand ‘singers’ relocated to a new singing stand - the remaining tickets will be filled by tourists and new fans. They pick up the slack in ticket sales at the moment so why would anybody think it will be any different when they add another 8000 seats ?
