Stadium revamp pics 'wow'

Never been one to get excited about stadiums. Don't want a day out at a 'venue'. Just want to stand, sing and then leave. Couldn't give a fook about 'facilities' and all that w@nk. As long as it's not too far from the centre of town and holds enough people for the fan base then that's fine by me.

Exactly this. I don't want fancy restaurants and big complexes. Much rather a horrible area surrounded by terraced houses.

Judging by the pictures, you can see the water and the angle that Britannia Road leads off at so I would assume its not in a new location.

 

I do however completely agree with your statement. Much prefer decrepit League 1 grounds to these posh fancy lego stadiums we now have to visit.

Although the emirates was pretty impressive.

These are new revised images/plans. Similar to the DVD but with upgrades/amendments.

 

The birds eye view is odd though, it shows all stands other than kingsland level. All the others show all roofs raised other than the itchen.

 

This could mean a 2 phase project (kingsland 1st)

That's going to stick out like a sore thumb in that ****hole called st Mary's.

 

I understand we are going in to partnership with a Tottenham supporting property developer which will somehow make us the largest fan owned club in the whole wide world.

Does anyone know what the rust coloured box is? Just noticed it has ramps which connect to the Chapel-Kingsland corner. Wasn't it this corner that Cortese wanted to move the away fans to? I wonder if this is some strange away-fan lounge/bus collection point, which keeps the fans separate.

I thought originally it was going to be an education centre or something of that ilk.

what is the brown thing that looks like jawa sandcrawler?

 

I think it is a jawa sandcrawler. With the relaxation of the borders there's been in influx of jawa coming over and taking our jobs, but they do fall in the saints catchment area so it's very astute of Cortese to try and attract them. I worry that we'll start to see a rise in Sandpeople as well, they'd be alright if they made more of an effort to sing & get behind the team.

These CGIs are not based on any plans. They are inconsistent one between the others, appear to use land that the club doesn't own and show representations of surrounding buildings that don't exist. They are the product of somebody's vivid imagination. Pure fantasy I'm afraid.

If you look a little closer you can see the 'ends' are also raised but kept single tier (the way 'ends' should be), in one of the first images of the Itchen you can see the roof of the Chapel/Northam is higher suggesting the Itchen will remain the same.

 

I like grounds in working class areas but this does look impressive, we have to face it times have changed, we've already got a 'modern' stadium, might as well make it better. Looks like they've got their sights set firmly on that industrial estate to make it pay.

Surely they are on display in the local council planning office along with the compulsory purchase orders and objection letters.

True, at the mo about as definite as the skates famous 'Harbourdome' that was going to make them the envy of the world (chuckle). At least we've got a half decent stadium already.

Oi!

 

Only just thawed out and got my voice back from Saturday.

 

And yes, we are seeing a rise in numbers. Up to 18 at the Pub for games now.
