Absolute crazy idea The main stand is the Crown Jewels of Ibrox Desperately need to sort the leg room out though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall capacity is about 20500. There is a lot more leg room because current regulations stipulate that new builds should have more space. That being said Liverpool also chose to reprofile the existing lower tier which was very cramped by reducing the capacity of that section by around 2500 We could do similar but at the cost of knocking a few thousand off the capacity. Liverpool’s new main stand is free standing with a red brick facia and a gallery for the upper tier overlooking much of the city. Similar features to our main Stand that give it a unique feel. Too many soulless off the shelf stands at modern grounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatcap 489 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Confused.....as numbers 1 and 8 combined total 39,500 Man U's current capacity is 74,140 74,140 - 39500 = 34,640 That means that Man U have at least one other stand (possibly 2) of bigger capacity than The Stretford End listed at number 8....or is this just about 'distinct' stands where the corners aren't wrapped around?

BTW I hate seeing the open corners so I wish it was connected someway. Agreed, but those stairways are iconic. Ibrox would look so different if you couldn't see them. Plus if we had no corners we wouldn't have seen that wee fix sprint up the wing. Don't think I'll ever forget that. Has anyone pointed out why we couldn't put an extra tier on top of the Sandy? I know we cang fill the corners to make the stadium bigger so maybe that's the way to go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. This probably isn't anything to do with it, but I do know that the stands old Trafford are a mess, in the sense that they all look like stands from different stadiums. The main stand blocks the view of one (or both) of the end stands an is a cunt to maintain (so I've been told, so take it with a pinch) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think cause of the LED's they have they can put any image they like on the outside of their stadium. Guess this is as good a place as any to ask, has anyone got any pictures of the Qatar stadiums yet? Know it's still 3yr away, but imagine that there must be a few possibly finished by now seeing as they are building 8 new stadiums. Want to see how close they got to the fancy presentation that definitely won them a world cup in the desert and most definitely not suitcases full of loads of dollars.

CR3 12,678 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Was in the Holte end of Aston Villa for the community shield Chelsea v Man City in 2012. Was big for a stand behind the goals, just under 14k. Decent stadium. No Ibrox though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
