Thats impressive then. Could we expect that level of uptake from corporate junkets?
Definitely not. Arsenal command the London premium and have the glamour of the Premiership.
Obscenely priced STs also helps. The cheapest comes in at just over a grand. £97 for a matchday ticket, to sit in a big soulless library. Bargain.

I imagine Spurs will have similar prices when they move in to their impressive new stadium.

I'd love us to bulldoze the main stand and tie it in with the rest of the stadium, but the costs and the disruption it will cause, outweighs the demand for it.

the success of the Kerrydale Suite could certainly be replicated at the other end of the ground, and I'm pretty sure we have plans to do that. The more we can encourage folk to the stadium pre-match and to remain post match the better. This is definitely something that would be self financing.

A trip to a game takes a fair wedge out of people's pockets, I think you are correct on that plan it's difficult to get people to spend more what we would have to do is increase the spend 'our' venues.
A city centre place wouldnt be the worst idea.

the front of the main stand is a listed building.

in saying that, so was the school so you never know.

Pass by the stadium every morning or so driving to work...obviously relatively dark this time of year at 730 ish...looks brilliant & all light up. Can’t believe how much the area has changed from flats all around it (going back to my first games with relative & my dad). Pretty rundown and derelict. Pistol has played a blinder here and as much as I have been critical of him and the board for some major errors playing side & manager side int he past few years (out with BR of course) they have done excellent work with the full stadium and surrounds.

Even the recent Celtic way with the lights, star, walk up its looks mightly impressive and your mind cant help wonder to over Govan way with the full dual carriage way on the door step coupled with surrounded by waste land and car parks.

We are MILES ahead of Der Hun in every way & they cannot take it. Not bad for the club founded by immigrants up against the establishment club.

We were chatting about SB prices at the CSC on Sunday. Consensus was that prices have been kept pretty reasonable these past few years. So assuming we wont increase SBs sold and we wont up prices to cover the cost of the work where would the money come from?

Corporate junkets maybe wont sell too well in Glasgow compared to London as others just said.

Someone could design a facade retention for that and still demolish the stand. ;)

A lot of staff and departments would have to temporarily relocated and there's also the timescale of getting it all done. I can't imagine some of the auld yins in the main stand being happy at getting relocated, for a bit.

Watch who you ar calling "Auld yin" :pitchfork:
I just can't see why we would do this. The cost and payback does not stack up just so some OCD basturts can have a stadium that is symmetrical.

Pedro had the local citizens steal the slates off the roof of the School and the subsequent water ingression gubbed any chance of it being restored or kept.

It's also to move with the times. The facilities in the main stand are pretty shampooe, compared with other major stadiums in Europe.

SB's will go up next year - Possibly not in the case of the kids though.

That extra dosh won't cover and won't go to Main Stand Renovations/Upgrades.

Agree - Nightmare season and Hampdump is an atrocity of a stadium now.

I'm pretty sure that the main stand is fundamental to the high quality of our pitch. The fact that it is lower and on the southern edge allows high levels of sunlight on the playing surface and vastly improves the quality of the grass.

Are you sure on that? I find it hard to believe that the south stand and the club entrance are listed.

Again I'd find that hard to believe and in any event it's only the old school (now demolished) that appears to have been listed.

My recollection is that it is the façade to the old main stand that is listed...and that the current frontage etc was built around that old façade as a result. So it is still in there and any redevelopment would either need to retain it, move it or demolish it. And those last two would require permission.
