topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 New stand at Portland Timbers stadium. Looks nice, except SCUSA nonsense.

yogisbairns Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Looks a bit like a baseball ground. Took in the Cascadian derby game there 3 seasons ago against Seattle. Where the new stand is now, was a gym. It was the most bizarre sight to see the windows opened at the top and see people on a row of cycle machines doing their exercise and watching the game at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisal Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 lll Leeds Rhinos new stand at Headingley complete with standing enclosure. No railed seat nonsense. How is this okay for Rugby League and not for football. Rhinos get bigger attendances than most Sottish Premiership teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftk Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 lll Leeds Rhinos new stand at Headingley complete with standing enclosure. No railed seat nonsense. How is this okay for Rugby League and not for football. Rhinos get bigger attendances than most Sottish Premiership teams.Nice stand.Terracing is fine in Scotland even in the premiership now. England's top 2 football leagues have to be all seated by law though. And Internationals and European games also have to be all seated.Love to see terracing back in Scotland in the top league. Taylor report ripped the heart out Scottish Football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Edusport Academy of LL are redeveloping a floodlit 3G cage pitch at Bothwellhaugh on M74 to cease sharing at Annan. It seems to feature a pair of 50-seat stands and limited flat hardstanding. Edited May 27, 2019 by HibeeJibee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab B Nesbit Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 New stadium plan details announced by the Ev ... A steeply pitched 13,000-capacity home end will form the centrepiece of Everton's new £500m football stadium, new designs reveal. The 52,000-capacity ground at Bramley Moore Dock, Liverpool, could be ready to host games by 2023, the club said. Architects say the stadium's brick and steel construction will make it appear "as though it has risen from the dock" in tribute to the city's maritime past. The installation of rail seating could pave the way for some standing areas. Image copyrightEVERTON FC Image captionThe design includes "a subtle nod" to the steel lattice trusses at Goodison Park Standing was outlawed in the top two divisions by the Football Spectators' Act in 1989 following the Hillsborough disaster. But Everton said by "future-proofing" the stadium it could be easily adapted to include safe standing if there was a change in the law. The design of the stand at the southern end of the ground will retain the "intensity and intimacy" of Goodison Park, according to the club. Image copyrightEVERTON FC Image captionThe club said the development of the dock would "deliver transformative benefits" for the whole city Everton expect to submit plans by the end of 2019 and hope to begin a three-year building project as soon as 2020. It said there were options to fund the development from both the private and public sectors, which could include selling naming rights to a sponsor. The plans were revealed to 800 Everton supporters in Liverpool on Thursday. Everton chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale said the ground would "deliver transformative benefits" for the whole of Liverpool. "Our proposed stadium design takes its inspiration from both our city's maritime history and from our club's rich heritage and traditions," she added. A fan plaza to the east of the stadium would host pre-match activity for up to 14,000 and could be used as a venue for music concerts. Image copyrightEVERTON FC Image captionEverton said the design of the stadium would retain the "intimacy" of Goodison Park The club will consider increasing the capacity to 62,000 if it regularly fills the ground. Designs for the ground have been drawn up by Dan Meis, who has designed sports stadiums in Rome, Cincinnati and Japan. He has included "a subtle nod" to the steel lattice trusses designed by Goodison Park's architect Archibald Leitch. The club's current home will become the site of new homes and health and education facilities, while proposals for a lasting tribute include retaining the pitch's centre circle. Then sports minister Tracy Crouch launched a consultation on safe standing in June 2018. Responding to a question in the House of Commons from South Leicestershire MP Alberto Costa, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the matter remained under review. The Sports Grounds Safety Authority said rail seating would allow fans to stand for part of the game but clubs must have plans in place to "show how they encourage fans to sit". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-49109807 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good effort though. I'm surprised a retractable roof hasn't been built in, it looks set for it the way the bowl is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Liverpool Football Club today reaffirms its intention to redevelop the Anfield Road stand with ambitious new plans now under active consideration. As part of this process, the six-time European champions have committed to engaging with the local community and other key stakeholders while pursuing a vision in keeping with the club’s aspirations. As a direct result of this development, existing outline planning permission will be allowed to lapse in order to allow work to continue on alternative options with a view to submitting a new planning application for a larger scheme in due course. Liverpool FC chief operating officer Andy Hughes said: “The progress that has been made during ongoing feasibility studies has resulted in us being in a position to allow the outline planning permission to lapse. We are committed to working with local residents, planning officials and others as we now focus on the detail behind any proposed redevelopment for Anfield Road. “Throughout this process we have been clear that our objective is to find the best possible solution for Anfield Road and that remains the case." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 12 hours ago, Le Tout P'ti FC said: Puskas Arena, Budapest. 68,000 seats and due to open in November, before hosting 4x Euro 2020 ties. Looks a step above our national stadium. As much as it pains me to admit, Hampden has run its race hasn't it? Hampden was a quick fix, done on the cheap, with the main stand now 20 years old and the rest of it just seats and a roof that are 25 years old, stuck on a century-old bowl. I loved it but it's done. They need to bring in the ends and re-profile the north stand to bring it up to the standard of - genuinely - an Eastern European stadium. That's how far behind we have fallen. Elsewhere in Western Europe we'd have a crossrail running train services between Mount Florida and Aberdeen, and between Kings Park and Edinburgh. But we're not a first world country any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 As much as people would hate it, bulldoze Hampden and relocate to just outside of Glasgow, near bishopbriggs or the likes. 45,000 seater stadium, training facilities, bus and train routes with a newly build Station to accommodate this, located just outside of Glasgow. Sign an agreement with Scotrail to do trains home all over Scotland up until 1am. The Scottish National Stadium would be a reduced venue, but leave room for expansion. If you don’t want to bulldoze Hampden, then leave it be as a music venue, Cup final location and a museum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
