Feck upgrading the away dressing room. Downgrade them and make teams miserable. Something cosy like this...
With pristine toilet facilities...
Ah, the Trainspotting toilet theme. I dig it.

I want a 90,000+ capacity to reclaim our PL record! Spurs record is a sham record.
Imagine what a 500M investment on Revamp would do to this stadium. It will look grand
W202 ran out of beer as well pre kick off. Disgraceful scenesI sit over in E234 and there was a leak in the roof, dripping onto someone a few seats in front of me, should I report this? If so who to?
Also, our concourse ran out of lager and most refreshments before HT, I'm guessing the new prices meant more people had a drink before the game, Does anyone know if we have clarification when they will put some different beers in, Carling is abysmal!
Thanks!

It wouldn’t do much. Sadly.
Totally agree, especially the bolded. I used to always think "why don't they just build over the railway" but even taking that massive issue away, as well as any land ownership issues - and strip it back to the not-really-but-folk-think-they-are little things that get missed - you're left with a massive task of building more than just seats for fans. Power, data lines, fecking air conditioning in the private rooms, offices, shared spaces, plumbing, fire exits, health and safety for everything including the blooming door handles. Selling food? Need a gas line now, and talking to those cnuts will take as long as it takes to get BT to even decide to send two blokes in a van to link you to whatever sad hub they call a data center. And then six months down the line all the previous plans need to be scrapped because someone high up doesn't like the layout for the cheese room.I’m excited for the next announcement that the carpeted areas in the hospitality suites are being refreshed
Seriously though, major work takes time, money and even more time. There’ll be planning permission, costs estimates, consultations, safety considerations and the rest of it. Even if tomorrow we were taken over by insatiable billionaires desperate to offload money we’d be 12-24 months away from hearing anything about major stadium improvements

Loads of NFL teams play mind games with their away locker rooms. Some of them have really narrow spaces, some have too few lockers in the room so players don’t have enough spaces etc.
The Broncos have a carpet fitted in their away locker room that’s almost like a magic eye design, intended to make people feel a kind of motion sickness.

Need to spend a few hundred million. Ideally they should knock it back to the bottom tier and do a Bernabeu style renovation. Will be interesting to see what architects can muster up.
Usual fee is 10% of total construction. #sothatswhykevinglazersoldhisshares
It's got to be over 90k surely?What’s the maximum capacity we could expect to reach with a proper expansion of the south stand?
Would be brilliant if we could get 100k seats, modernise the stadium tastefully and re-establish ourselves as having the best stadium in the country.
They'll probably do exec boxes...I can't see them expanding over the railway line.What’s the maximum capacity we could expect to reach with a proper expansion of the south stand?

Being that close I would go the extra mile and make sure it was 100kIt's got to be over 90k surely?
They need to get rid of that sloping roof, it makes the stadium look smaller than it is, Saint James park looks huge compared to Old Trafford.

Is that supposed to be a railway line pose Bruce is doing? Not a very good one.
This isn't going to happen is it, Hungry?
Methinks you know the answer to that, Spoondog. Sadfaceemoji
Rough estimate, what you posted about - reduce to single tier and commence, plus assuming a general level of ‘modern’ quality - would cost between 800m to 1.4bn-ish. Or for simplicity’s sake around the amount that they’ve ‘taken out of the club’. Cryinginglazeremoji.
Nice. Needs to be done, squeeze in some more safe standing and knock it up to 100k.In theory if it replicated the north stand you'd get around 95k total capacity, if I remember right.
I think they'll fill the South Stand up with exec boxes, anything else will cost them too much.
Build over the railway line and mimic the North Stand.
Fill in the last two corners.
Raise and restructure the roof.
Put toilet seats in the ladies jacks.
Done.
Let's not overcomplicate this and come up with something that screams "compensating for a tiny penis" like Spurs have done.
That'd only be around 200-300m.
Roughly speaking it's around 2000-3000 pounds per seat to build a 'top-tier' sporting venue. It costs more/towards the higher end of that range to refurb/deal with existing construction.
Why is this aspect so costly?They'll probably do exec boxes...I can't see them expanding over the railway line.
