    Are you sure it's listed, not heard that before..? If so we've built over the old facade..

    If it is, we could convert to a hotel or something..

    Unless we go to a bigger league, I don't see this as required. Getting tickets for home games outside of CL and OF is not that tricky.

    You've got a painter FFS. Get him to paint the poles.

    Might as well be useful for something.

    The front isn't listed. It's like a 70s tax office frontage. You would need to be on meth to class that as listed.

    One of many myths.

    We should buy every single inch of that area that we can get. That’s the future.

    Aye, not sure if the original is still behind it.. but if we were allowed to build over it, what would be the point of it being listed..:56:

    The stained glass from the old entrance is inside now..

    The hun front facade is listed.

    Listed on Most Haunted as it looks like an insane asylum that made wildly carcenomagenic watch faces back in 1870. Probs why the gallant pie and ears all went loopy.

    Just bring back the old stadium. All terraced. Cash at the gate. Even Lawwell can skim the proceeds without Raising suspicion. 35,000 official attendance when clearly there was double that. I literally did not have to walk out the centary game I was swept up in the crowd. Good old days.

    Might be an atmosphere killer for certain domestic games, that said, if the season tickets sell every year it’s still a win after the stadium is paid off.

    Looking at the cost of Wembley and Spurs, they’re ranging 700M - 1B. Going by that we’d have it paid off with extra book sales of 20k in around 75-100yrs.

    Was just looking at Real and Barcas capacity and avg attendance, Real’s was quite surprising ~20k lower than capacity with Barcas ~10k lower.

    Sell out season tickets and give out school booking tickets for the smaller games.

    Never heard of doubling up? Need to be svelte though. Tried it once a few years ago and me and my mate got stuck in the turnstile. Middle aged spread. It's a *.

    The walk of shame was not pleasant.

    Would love to see our stadium as 2 tier all round. I remember seeing those CG mock ups a few years back of what it could look like and it looked fantastic.

    Could even offer discounts on some tickets so the extra seats don't end up empty against the * like Livingstone and Kilmarnock.

    Yeah, it's one of those foolish brags by folk who don't understand, and want to 'compete' with the Huns, who do have a listed fronting. Our's isn't, thankfully, so we're not trapped by it. Theirs is, so they're *, even if they could afford to expand.

    Not sure if our "famous stained glass" is a listed component, but it can be moved, so long as it's preserved, I think... Doubt it is though, so shouldn't be a hindrance unless we choose to preserve it - which we definitely should!
