Will believe it when I see it. Which was basically my view on The Amex and we had to wait a fair old while for that.

In fairness, good luck to them if they can pull it off. Their fans have been long suffering, having to watch their football in an oversized skip, so I can't begrudge them an upgrade.

Hmm, I see that they've put the outline of the Crystal Palace into the facade, that is clever, but I'm not sure about having the wings off of the Mighty Thor's helmet on either side of it - that just makes it look a bit odd.

It's a nice STAND. But that's all it is.

They've taken "generic new main stand" from the catalogue and dressed one side of it with a nice glass fascia. The rest of the place will remain a dilapidated shithole.

Have they just put a new front on? The eagle and the fins at the side are hideous, not sold on the glass either.

Still, it's not my teams stadium, if they like it then fine

Looked impressive from the outside, but then you go inside and its just an identikit 4 stands round the pitch jobbie. Gaps in the corners, it doesn't look joined up. Nothing groundbreaking. Its basically the Britannia.

Still, at least you probably won't have to get a tetanus jab before visiting any more.

It looks like they're going for the Anfield "lean-to" model of extension, this'll mean the current regulations regarding seat spacing will only apply to the extension - so anyone sat in the old part of the "new" stand will continue to be squashed together.

Looks good. A rare well done to Prince Charming.

The best bit :

"Improved sightlines in the Arthur Wait Stand with the removal of the TV gantry, and improved Arthur Wait concourse"
