If they didn’t there would’ve been a accident like at archwayHow did we actually get permission to do this ? View attachment 37607
Magnificent! I always liked the look of the cladding, combine that with the blue tiles, glass etc. Has character. Just like inside. Many on here don't like how the flow of the stands are broken by the south stand. That's what I love about it. I wanted something unique, that seperates us from 'template stadiums' like the Emirates. I guess we all have different tastes.
I, as a wheelchair user these days, would like to apologise in advance, to anyone who might think that I'll spoil the aesthetics of THEIR lovely new single tier South Stand.
Really am sorry. ****'s
Your'e right mate , must not spoil the look of the South Stand with so called huge gaps , maybe we should make it a rule that no one is allowed to leave early from a game in the South stand so that in the wall of sound we cannot see empty seats they must stay filled to the very end. If I see empty seats in the South from my my viewpoint in the north its going to spoil the whole game for me.I, as a wheelchair user these days, would like to apologise in advance, to anyone who might think that I'll spoil the aesthetics of THEIR lovely new single tier South Stand.

That’s assuming they all sell. There’s a lot of luxury flats sitting empty in London at the minute.When people talk about the cost. Something rarely mentioned is the small fortune we are gonna make off 570 high end flats. Plus 50 serviced apartments in the hotel that I reckon will be close to £1m a pop.

Yes there are a lot of empty flats in London. Most are actually owned as investments and tax breaks with the owners having no intention of them ever being occupied.That’s assuming they all sell. There’s a lot of luxury flats sitting empty in London at the minute.
So the cost of the whole redevelopment is said to be about £800?
And assuming an average price of £350,000 for the high end flats that is nearly £200m.
That leaves £600m.
If the average cost of a ticket is £60 then we will get roughly £3.6m per Home game from ticket sales. 25 home games makes £90m. Let’s round that up for other misc match day income and a conservative (!) profit of £100m a year from the stadium.
If we can get a massive naming rights deal (300m?) then the stadium is paid off VERY quickly.
I feel like I’m missing something (I know in practice we will take longer but it gives an indicator of the financial burden associated with the project and the corresponding ability to spend on players...).
Thats way below what I thought!So the cost of the whole redevelopment is said to be about £800?
