Air Resistance 26 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thread idea stolen from FMTTM, but what would people like to happen the stadium in terms of improvements now we are back in the prem? There's talk of Red Faction including ultra style art around the south stand. There's also some suggestions around moving the big screen to accommodate more seats (not sure I can see this happening). Another one that someone on FMTTM mentioned was changing the camera to the east stand looking into the west. Personally a cheap and cheerful improvmen to I would like to see would be to have separate beer/drink que's to speed up the service in the concourse (like at Wembley) Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisFleming 86 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah I don't like the camera in the west as it shows the empty seats where the away fans are segregated Link to post Share on other sites
DVP 3 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Would be nice to get another tier of seating built, the stadium would be huge! I can't see that happening until we're a good top 10 finish though. I'm not sure what's going to happen with seating though, as there's going to be an away following twice the size to the Riverside now, at least. Link to post Share on other sites

HoyteForLeftBack 189 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 There was a scaffold at the back of the East stand (about 7-8 rows behind me) for a wee while. That might have been a trial for moving the camera position. EDIT: Very little point expanding the stadium when there's a relatively small population in the area and we rarely (saturday excluding) sell out. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Don't think there would be anything nice or financially reasonable about improving our maximum attendance through a stadium expansion. We saw on Saturday that the ground really is a cauldron of noise at its best, so altering the shape of that wouldn't help. Not to mention that we don't come close to selling out every game the way some teams can. That's just because we don't have the population and/or money to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Would like to see all the pink seats replaced with new shiny red seats to make it look good on camera. Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Would like to see all the pink seats replaced with new shiny red seats to make it look good on camera. We don't do too badly for discoloured seats, mostly the south stand I find Link to post Share on other sites
TheTeessideOne 4 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Something needs to be done about the West Stand. The North, South and East have all been done out with fancy art and wording, and the West has been left out. I mainly sit in the West (like to have a proper view of the pitch), but sometimes venture to the north/north east and really like what they've done to it. Gets you pumped before the game.

dunnerzzz 17 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 You can't be serious about an expansion Thought it was just me. :D Honestly though, we have a Premier League stadium and facilities. I don't anything will change. That part are ready for. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Whatever we do, it should include a nod to the Save Our Steele campaign. Would love to see a stand named after Ali Brownlee, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,246 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Replace all seats with LazyBoy seats. Would half the attendance, we'd probably sell out every week and we could charge more for a ticket. Move aside Steve Gibson... Link to post Share on other sites

The west is getting a massive uplift this summer. I only know of the hospitality but would have though the rest of the west will be updated Link to post Share on other sites
