Blades plans for new-look Bramall Lane

[BexleyBlade]

...SU are pursuing far-reaching long term plans to turn Bramall Lane into the best stadium in Yorkshire

Isn't it already???

Plans do sound positive though ... 3,000 more on Kop with new roof and no pillars ... More offices between Kop & South Stand ... With potential to develop South Stand to make total capacity 40,000

sounds very impressive, will make the already best stadium in yorkshire even better

 

[S64 Blade]

I'm glad they're keeping the kop 1 tier. If they made it two all the atmosphere would be cut off. Its going to be even more of walk to back of the Kop once this is done then

Most Impressive.

whilst i dont wish to sound like a party pooper but it isnt a stadium lol...sorry lol

 

[stinkyblade]

what is it then

 

[7UpJordan]

"It's only a model."

 

[Sheffield-Bl4de]

I'ts just a footy ground...a stadium is somewhere that offers more than one sport...for example...Madejski Stadium....and...or Kingston Communications Stadium...so wikipedia defines it anyway...so...but if you look at it..it is true even though sufc.co.uk called it a stadium

 

[Robbie]

I'd rather go with the dictionary definition I'm afraid

a sports arena, usually oval or horseshoe-shaped, with tiers of seats for spectators.

 

[Sheffield-Bl4de]

Sports Arena...not stadium...just lookin some up...and theres numerouse definitons for Stadium...one is for ''Open Air Sports'' and another is for ''sports and concerts'' but either definiton you go with the lane isnt a stadium lol...otheriwse surely it would be called Bramal Lane Stadium...or whatever lol

 

[Sensiblade]

Need to get rid of the right side of the South stand so i can hear the kop, might make some of the corpse's who sit near me make some noise more than just when we score.

 

[Sheffield-Bl4de]

Theres numerouse definitons...one is for ''open air'' sports and other is for ''concerts and sports'' either way though it isnt a stadium is it lol

Yes it is.

Even if you go by your definition, cricket was played there too....

 

[Tinoblade]

sounds good but we definitley need to be establishing our selves in the prem for that to be a good move!

 

[Sensiblade]

Is there a picture of what it'll look like?

 

[Tinoblade]

is what a picutre?

The one in silverfoxes link is the away end!

 

[Sensiblade]

is what a picutre?

The one in silverfoxes link is the away end!

I mean is there a picture of the proposed changes?

 

[Tinoblade]

O misread i thought you put is that a picture


My bad!

 

[markdablade]

i agree with tino. whilst all this is good news for us surely it would be better if we were a premiership outfit

 

[S64 Blade]

It will/should help us to become one. If we aren't already there by that time. The more money Sheff united can generate by maximizing the assets at Bramall Lane the better for the club.

Don't think there's any pictures yet sensi. They're probably still getting the plans etc. drawn up.

 

[Tinoblade]

I see what ya saying but surely spending more money on building stands could be wasted if we dont get up there in the next couple of years and player etc begin to leave?

good point, but at least itl stop wendies crowing about swillbourgh being bigger than bdtbl.

 

[keenzy]

there has been concerts held at the lane before.

 

[keenzy]

and does that make the sty a stadium due to playing water polo too

 

[Sensiblade]

I see what ya saying but surely spending more money on building stands could be wasted if we dont get up there in the next couple of years and player etc begin to leave?

I think the PLC are paying for the ground and the FC part of the business is paying for the players. Different budgets as far i heard when they first went on the stock exchange.

 

[S64 Blade]

I see what you mean Tino. But if things got that bad, the hotel etc. could be sold off. It would put us in a better position then if things went wrong and we didn't have all these assets. But, im sure it wont come to that
