That's what I love about the sheer realism on SZ these days. I'm guessing that being the main stand it would be more than 25% of the £93 million the Amex cost. Even cutting that main stand cost alone in 1/2 or by 3/4 is way way more than the entire Roots Hall refurbishment will cost.

I lose the will to live some days.

25% of 93 million is 23.25 million. so half of that is 11.62 million, less than what we (apparently) will get for refurbing Roots Hall as part of the deal with Ratty. So that isn't true.

Fair it may not be any more realistic, but why are people so quick to ridicule and to poo poo peoples dreams and ambition regarding the stadium. It would seem that if you haven't lost the will to live already you have lost the ability to dream.

All posters are doing are highlighting stands they think will look cool and allowing themselves for a moment to fantasies how amazing it would be to be proud of the ground they visit every week.

£93m 13 years ago.

Would mind punting that an Amex built now would be double that.

The below but with blue chairs and if we can stretch maybe a bin at both ends of the stand rather than just 1

Lets really leverage our sponsorship. C2C must have some old sleepers somewhere. Pile them up, convert an old train wagon into a toilet block. Get a trolley to come round with overpriced luke-warm tea that always runs out just before it gets to you.

Most of us lose the will to live when you post these days. :Whistling:

Frankly if you are dreaming or fantasizing of that stand then feel free. I won't go into your financial logic because as an accountant it simply hurts my head.

I will live in the sane land of reality & will not apologise for that. In fact if we build that Amex replica then I will happily eat all the rubble of the old East stand.

FFS SZ when do we get SZ Gold as have so many people on ignore now my monthly dd isn't worth just watching Creeky moan about his male menapause. 🤣
 
OK, here's what I would do (from a "professional" standpoint)

Essentially, seat kill wise, you're going to have the same capacity as the current East Stand for GA sales. But you're going to gain additional higher value seating for those wanting to pay extra.

I'd imagine the stand will be something similar to the South Stand at Oxford United:

I like that one. Has a bit of a traditional look to it. Also, more importantly, it doesn't have the corners of the ground filled it in. Can I be the only one who finds many of the modern grounds claustrophobic? I probably am. I know I need to get out more, but I'm also agoraphobic

Probably the most realistic of the ideas so far (unsurprisingly), not sure if it's cause of the three sides, something else about the design or just bad luck that the atmosphere has always felt a bit flat there, god knows the east needs help making some noise so anything we can do to make the acoustics as good as possible on top of this the better...
