What do you base that on?

I thought safe standing was in the middle of the tier ?
Most would presumably be busy hugging, falling down, humping with joy.
Either that or these seats are sold as The Poznan Corner!
- I obviously meant to say jumping there but sometimes the autocorrect is worth leaving untouched.
- and all based on the assumption there will actually be a partially obstructed view.

Just stick some smaller screens hanging from above for those impacted. Got to be a cheaper option.
If you look where the sides of the new stand come down and meet the east stand roof. Part of the east stand roof would protrude past the joint. Maybe a metre or more.
If this was cut off to blend in it would open up the view to corner.
Because it has to. It doesn't work without the overlap. The water off the vertical faces when clad would run straight into the stand below. It needs that overlap to shed onto the old roof over this portion of it.
Besides, there would be one hell of an undertaking to trim that roof now. The cranes and equipment off the pitch have been cleared, and the stand is progrssing and I can't see where they put up propping. The ring cable also nodes at this point.
I just don't see it being cut back mate, and I don't see how or even why they would want to.
But more than happy to be proven wrong if it does end up happening.
Yea I got what you meant, responded above.

Back few rows all the way along and then the two end blocks - forming an ‘n’ shape.

The roofs don’t join so there’ll need to be some overhang over the East and West side roofs to handle rainwater. I don’t think they’ll be trimmed.

Think in these days of computer modelling and virtual reality , I’ll be amazed if there are “line of sight “ issues ! It’s probably all about camera angles just like the new corner screen and the “supposed” removal of the existing ardwick seats ;-)
Agree, I did say elsewhere it might be a quirk of the picture. Maybe the poster can elaborate, does it feel lime that in person, i.e is the view restricted when there @Nev66 ?
If it is, likely a conscious compromise rather than a surprise, but I also get why people would argue for 'better'.

The piece you've picked out in yellow is one of the supporting beams so that's not happening.
Perhaps we're going for a much narrower pitch next season? ;)
That said, do the touchlines follow the join between grass and artificial stuff?

If anything, it's the smallest of sections of a corner that are restricted. An restricted view seat requires one or both of the goals to be blocked from view.
Those prices up there will be cheaper anyway so I'm failing to see the drama in a tiny corner being out of view.

That could actually be a damn good point on the pitch lines.
Looks pretty close as it was last season, but could make some difference at that angle.

Looks like the pitch is actually a good metre in from the edge of the artificial stuff.
