First the spiral staircase, then the entire south stand, now the floodlights. Disappointing

I remember the old floodlights going in favour of the 'pole' ones. You get over such things.

I know there wont be as large a capacity in the new north stand ,but what I've seen of the latest images the structure is going to be huge

The north stand will have a large corporate capacity.

That stand is more roof than substance unfortunately. To think we mocked the Wire fans with their popular side roof being so far above the terracing.

Yep, nice new shiny stands, atmosphere killed. At least it’ll look nice

It will also help to generate revenues - without a club there will be no atmosphere. The old South stand was a relic of an era pre WW2 - the less said about the North stand the better.

Why will the atmosphere be killed?

It all depends upon whether the architects have built something in the stand to direct/amplify the 'noise' from the stand. People need to remember the south stand was a small 'shed' in comparison that had to be replaced for health and safety reasons. Things will not be the same but hopefully they will be better as I expect some carnegie stand season ticket holders who wish to join in the singing could well move seats if allowed

obviously I wasn't there yesterday and I don't know if it rained during the game so does any one think there is a threat of getting wet due to that Roof ?
