Question New East stand - which style / design do you prefer?

[Smiffy]

Have we got room for something like this?
I guess this stand at posh houses around 5k?

4,637 to be exact.

We can go a fair bit bigger than that as we have plenty of room. We need to as well, as we cannot really increase capacity much elsewhere (Maybe the North) but that's about it. I reckon we can aim for 6,000+ realistically.

Will have to be longer otherwise it'll say 'THE SHRI'

That new development behind the east at the top of the car park, (not even sure what’s being built, houses or offices) wouldn’t that cause an issue?

It looked close to the stadium last time I saw it.

As you say the new stand would need to be a decent size capacity wise for obvious reasons

 

[Richard Hearn]

I don't care as long as it holds 5000 people, has an Archibald Leitch gable, and is thatched.

Out those shown, Posh is my preference (but maybe a bit bigger to accommodate lots of revue generating facilities).

 

[Target man]

I think I'll leave it to experts like @Sherif H

At minimum it should be able to hold the main bulk of season ticket and box holders, have enough space for corporate functions, more food outlets and toilet facilities, and not be a constant concern of burning down at any point!

Would be nice if we could extend the East Stand round to incorporate a new North Bank and have it as a continuous 'sweep' to join up where both existing stands are currently.

I like the first one but a bigger version if possible.

Biggest question is where are all the current East stand fans going to be located whilst this is being done.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

A bigger version of Peterborough's main stand for me. Try and squeeze a little extra capacity out of the North before we build it too, so we have somewhere to put the displaced fans while we are building it.

 

[Tommy2holes]

This would look so much better in blue and white and a giant Shrimp.

 

[Supershrimper]

I quite like the South Stand at Brentford (except for the multi coloured seating option)

 

[South Bank Hank]

Heady days when you think back to those original plans of a shrimp curling itself around the ground. Open to all ideas but speaking from the heart as opposed to the head, I’d love something steep and imposing but also with some unique features that move us away from the usual identikit rebuilds. Obviously I also appreciate that beggars can’t be choosers right now but one can dream.

why does the top row of seats slope down on the right, but not on the left?

I'm having palpitations just thinking about sitting in the top yellow

That looks crazy steep

 

[SouthendSpence]

Becacuse it's pinned in at the back by houses, that section doesn't go so far back, hence the sloping effect.

The Dell used to have a stand which was a very striking example of this.

I would prefer a WW type stand but with the close to the pitch section being a standing terrace incorporating the nostalgia of the old North and South Paddocks.
And there needs to be more provision included for mobility challenged fans; features I don't see in the images on thread, this is always going to be the area closest to the car park etc for us.

Good point on this. With the ground lower than the car park you'd like to think they could incorporate step free access from the car park, through any concourse and onto the stand where there may be access to a few wheel chair spaces.

Would save them having to be deposited at the bottom of the stand then make their way up to a seat
