Apologies, I’ll put my toy away for the night!
If y'all would go play with your "toy" we'd have a lot less angst on here.
Now, so that I don't have to go through a lot of potentially off topic posts, someone posts some updated pics!
Class mate just shown this to my mates and they all laughed
Yeah, just you.Is it me, don't mean to sound negative but when you see the clips from pitchside, the stands do not look that big, they should have had a curve at the to of the east & west stands and had more seats, just my opinion, what does everyone else think. Just looks underwhelming, it maybe the perspective of seeing it on YouTube?
It looks like the camera was using a wide angled field of view which would distort the perspective. When you see it with your own eyes it's huge and awe inspiring, and no, that's not what she said last nightIs it me, don't mean to sound negative but when you see the clips from pitchside, the stands do not look that big, they should have had a curve at the to of the east & west stands and had more seats, just my opinion, what does everyone else think.

It's all slightly subjective of course but for me, the big glass panel just dilutes it. It has the feel of an ad-lib that wouldn't be there if the sewage plant wasn't restricting space.
Yes, it may offer the impression that it is bigger than it is, but that's a bit like "padded shoulders" or "tucking socks down yer kecks". It looks like when they first redeveloped White Hart Lane's North stand over 20yrs ago and only had a lower tier with a large glass wall for a while before they built the upper. Or a tiny bit like the North stand at the Aviva in Dublin (though that is far worse in that respect), which is just a space filler.
Yes, if you include the corners you get close to the Gwladys Street's current capacity, but I think another comparison is it is just 43 rows versus 59 rows (at the Street end).... but with the roof raised far higher above in the North stand's case, reducing any acoustic enhancement. Aesthetically, it does break up the uniform bowl, but I think that'll be to the detriment of overall effect and certainly atmosphere.
I think if they were going to be concerned about a stand being too tight due to limited space or wanting an easy build with a bigger capacity, they would have gone with the Stonebridge Cross space.
Personally I don't get any vibe of the tiny stand at the Aviva stadium, like I said previously for me it gives the stadium a bit of variety at both ends and breaks up the quite generic looking East & West stands
