not read all the thread but can the pitch be lowered so there can be extra rows be put in place at the bottom?

The water table sir, the water table. You would need pumps of the bolsas.

more likely to expose a capped mineshaft TBH

Why oh why oh why do people still think Prawn Sandwiches are posh!!!!!

Or about 10p at home, I make the best 1000 Island dressing this side of the Irwell!!

Some points:

[1] The roof at back of the North and South Stands is where all the rainwater from the roof is taken away to ground level. It is NOT a simple matter just to replace part of it. It is total replacement or an increase in capacity of a couple of thousand at the most.

[2] The gaps at the 4 corners of the group allow shutters to be opened to allow wind and sunlight to get in to improve water evaporation and grass growth. They have sunlamps on wheels to help grow the grass - but the draught is equally as important.

True. So therefore other engineering solutions will have to be found.

The water can be re-routed or sent through new ducts.

Air circulation can also be engineered. Plus I'm not sure if these new pitches need as much air flow as all-grass ones do..? If it's relaid every year, which is now what happens, does it matter as much?

The thing is, there just isn't the room to get enough extra seats in to make it worthwhile without changing/raising the shape/angle of the roof. The renders above with the few extra rows can't be it, if the rumours of an extra 12k are true anyway.

I really hope they have a think about the shape of the whole roof as it could improve the atmosphere if it actually reflected some of the noise back in. At the moment it's too high and at the wrong angle...

I would guess that the stadium will be expanded outwards too to fit in all the corporate enhancements, so that the spirals will be semi-enclosed.

Feel lucky to have been seen a view of this whole thing, stadium, the surrounding areas last 24 hours.

All I can say is incredible. The area will make the Yas Marina look like a high rise in Hulme.

Will I be around long enough to see it all though
