The company who built the Westfield stand are quoted in that article so I would assume it would start fairly quickly for a builder to be named?.I wonder how soon ASAP is.

Hope we aint using chinese steel!I'm sure its a coincidence there is a story on the O/S with McCabe and a Chinese businessman.![]()
the richer he is the more likely he's to spend money that could go on a yacht or his family on us! I don't see you putting millions into the club no mater how badly its been used!I guess no one is prepared to say how student flats or another enterprise centre will benefit the team on the pitch and not McCabe's bank balance, it will be great a 35,000 seat stadium for a shit league one team as long as it looks good eh ...........
Can we get rail seats in so that we can all stand when the powers that be have some common sense to allow it?
Good idea, and if common sense isn't used, nobody can say a thing if the seats are kept down. Be acres more room and far safer for those who do stand at the back. No more shin bruises
I don't like the plans much, myself. The whole thing needs knocking down and starting from scratch. It's simply not steep enough.
The facilities at Hillsborough, restaurants and boxes etc are piss poor. Over the 18months every restaurant and box at the lane have been upgradedAre you for real ? your last sentence should put you on the right track other clubs have their hotels etc behind the stands not in the stands. Are the pigs so backward ? their function rooms are just as good as the ones at the lane, yes they don't have a hotel or offices added on to the sty but just ask yourself do the offices and the hotel at the lane put money into the team like the 7000 extra seats at the sty could or into McCabe's pockets ? don't forget he owns the ground Sheffield United are just tenants.
This project would come from McCabe.What a relief there is money to spend on this project. How fine this stadium will look in league one.
If there is money to be spent, it should go on the team.
Well, seeing as the club recently put in a planning application for over 900 solar panels on the existing kop roof, I wouldn't hold your breath.I wonder how soon ASAP is.

The kop needs knocking down and start again from the ground up, have the same rake as the JSS & South stand
Don't agree with your criticism of additional facilities that would bring the club extra cash, but I agree that a full rebuild would be the preferred option. I'd be very interested to see what the difference in cost would be between a full rebuild vs this extension (which presumably wouldn't be too cheap in itself). Perhaps worth spending a bit more to make this a fit-for-purpose stand for the foreseeable future than to go for an option that accepts the limitations of the current stand.
Helps if you can actually see the players from the seat you're in though, right?I might be old fashioned but I actually go to the Lane to watch the players performing on the pitch to an acceptable level, not admiring the furnishings I'm sitting in.
I think we'd get 'well over' for Weekend games against the 'big' sides. Not so convinced about Swansea on a Tuesday night.
But I can say anything because by the time we get back in the PL the internet will no longer exist and football will be played by robots on a metal track and will be watched by aliens with their space telescopes. Despite the painful probings from the aliens, barnyblade's main concern remains the need to sack the manager at once. .

Ha! As has been mentioned though it's not the best viewing angle at all, especially if you're a young un or an older un with creaky knees.Never had any problem with seeing the players on the pitch at the Lane, maybe against Cardiff back in the day, but there was a fair crowd that night![]()
