Stadium revamp pics 'wow'

I think you'll struggle to name many teams that would get over 74,000 people through the turnstiles for 3 games whilst in administration and heading for relegation.

 

Pompey for example will get about 33,000 for 3 games this season.

 

It's all largely the same people coming through the the turnstiles in those situations.

So did I, so that's another one.

 

If you went to all 3, then he has to take 2 off the stats as it's one person buying 3 tickets (obviously Turkish is a loner).

 

There could be some deaths since then as well, better make allowances for that as well, possibly some new fans have attended their first game, some plastics. This is getting complicated.

IIRC we had about 16,000 season ticket holders that season, If we work off a conservative estimate of 1,500 away fans a game (i know Burnley brought more than that, but to make MLG's figures more acceptable to him) then that leaves us with 21,500 other different fans excluding away fans who could have attended the games. However we do know some people went to all three which needs to be factored in, as well as the people that might have gone to only two of the three. This is all getting very complicated, however it's safe to say that MLGs attracting 74,000 people whilst in admin figure is unsurprisingly massively wide of the mark.

In your dreams! What a load of boo-locks! It doesn't even look good and that brown hangar looks like a second world war concrete blockhouse. It's a typical Saints thing 'though, all promise but no delivery.

 

Personally I think it looks awesome. Can't see it happening any time soon, but can't fault the plans personally.

Wish we had threads dating back to the first St Mary's stadium mockups. Bet the same 'never going to happen' posters were just as prolific, and just as opposed to change.

 

I personally love that the club are thinking big. I love the images, and love the ambition. I find the constant bashing, and wreaking of any infrastructure-improvement threads to be really strange. What do the naysayers get from their negativity?

What do we get? A sense of perspective and realism.

Awesome we're going to be able to buy droids from next to the ground, something i've always wanted at a football game.

 

Still they're pretty pictures too look at but anyone that can remember pirelli knows that pretty pictures and a good idea doesn't make a stadium.

 

Oh and nice to see Matt Le Mental (when's he getting his day on the undateables anyway?) back on form with his propoganda

Bet they weren't.

 

And your inference here that St Mary's is as useless to us now as The Dell was to us back then is effing retarded.

 

What do you get from grizzling about what we currently have which is an excellent modern football stadium many clubs would kill for. Get some perspective.

They look awesome, they have also clearly been changed since they were first circulated so they are obviosuly being taken seriously. However they are just plans, impressive ones, but still just plans, nothing more. it's good to see the club is thinking big and has ambition.

 

It's amazing they have created 6 pages of 'debate'. Particularly as those pictures mention no stadium seating capacity, yet that seems to be all that has been debated here. They mainly seem to now focus on re-generation of the area surrounding the stadium.

 

Are so many people relectant and so pessimistic that they couldn't see that the area could be re-devloped and that t would benefit the club, the city council and those living in the area?

Why?

This is not being infered.

No grizzling from me. Simply calling it as I see it. Some posters share the club's ambitions; whereas, the noisy ones who wreck every thread they get their hands on, seem dead set against anything improving at the club. I don't understand the mentality of an interweb troll, I don't know what you get from it.

 

If you object to the club progressing, state your reasons why. If you want to see the club progress, but have some reservations over spending, or us over-streaching, fair enough, state them, but don't just snipe snide comments from the sidelines.

 

What are your problems with the club commissioning, and releasing CAD visulisations?

Not even plans, just pictures. There are likely to be some form of plan behind it, even if it's just to create some CGI mock up's and watch MLG get mugged off on SWF.

 

I think people will take this seriously once formal planning applications are submitted and we have some detail other than some impressive looking pictures.

Back on topic, this is interesting...

 

I'm guessing the building next to the stadium would be clad in Corten steel and, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a large banqueting suite, as AFL also incorporated a similar wedge shaped building into the new stand at Edgbaston.

An utter inability to grasp anything anyone has been saying.

An open air banqueting suit like on your very interesting drawing will be packed to the rafters when we play Stoke on a tuesday evening in February.

 

It's not open air you clown. That's an architects drawing with the roof removed.......

I am lost, what does the Mcphail centre of music have to do with anything?

 

The post I quoted says...

 

"I'm guessing the building next to the stadium would be clad in Corten steel and, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a large banqueting suite, as AFL also incorporated a similar wedge shaped building into the new stand at Edgbaston."

 

It then says "Corten Steel:" and shows a similar(ish) building (The Mcphail centre for music) to the one in the St Mary's building clad in Corten Steel.

 

Discussing cladding may not be everyone's idea of fun, but it is still relevant to this thread however dull it might seem.

Yep. MLG is the one who shares the club's ambitions and everyone else on here just doesn't get it and has a small time mentality. You got it exactly.

Though clearly it is your idea of fun.

Good way of getting Turkish off your back, bore him into submission.

 

Here is some more of that Corten Steel stuff just for you

Is the idea of it to make a new building look old and **** so when it does get old and ****, nobody notices?
