Here’s an example of one of the problems with it…
Look at any decent atmosphere stand in Europe and the front is where all the flags are waved and where displays are central to. But in the new NSL2 there are rows of GA+ seats.
The equivalent GA+ seats the South Stand end of the stadium, do this when there’s a display on across the whole stand:

^ that whole chunk above where it says ‘Definitely Manchester’ were provided with white cards to hold up and didn’t bother.
And most of the time when there’s a display taking place, they don’t even bother getting to their seats so they make our displays look like a joke:

This is the sort of area that is front and centre of the NSL2 plans. It’s the antithesis to what people have been striving for.
Liverpool have just opened up a big new tier at their stadium similar to what City have described the expanded North Stand being like - a mish mash of loads of things without being anything in particular, and expensive as fuck… and it’s already affected the atmosphere at Anfield for the worse.
