Does anyone have a saved copy of the underground connecting the stadium to the Vatican and City Chambers? A work of genius that belongs in any collection. |

As others have said, no part of Celtic Park is listed. Whatever anyone thinks about that, the one thing to note is that it allows flexibility for redevelopment at some point. I agree that the Main Stand needs modernizing, not for the sake of increasing capacity but because it lags modern stadia in terms of facilities. The school was listed in category B, as is part of Ibrox (which seems to really matter to Sevco fans). Category B means (forgive the deathless prose): "Buildings of regional or more than local importance, or major examples of some particular period, style or building type which may have been altered." That is often taken to mean that such buildings can't be altered. This is not the case; there is just a more stringent application process. They can even be demolished, as was the case with the school and might yet be with Ibrox. The look of the facade is very far down the list of things that matter to me at Celtic. But if pressed I'd have to say that it is not architecturally attractive. I'd be happy to see it improved: a modern interpretation of the old facade might be appropriate. |

If it wouldn't have cost another £20m odd, I think Fergus would have demolished the Main Stand as well and would have built at stadium at a 90 degree angle to what we have just now |

Fergus was also hamstrung (though he did not know it at the time) by the quaint notion that getting more bums on seats was the best way to remain financially competitive, so that £20m would have provided scant return. |

The current facade is one of the worst I've ever seen from an architectural point of view. Yet it carries great memories so why change it when it will just be replaced by an equally minging facade. |

The main stand doesn't really need a capacity hike, it does however need a new roof to get rid of all the restricted view seats, raise the roof a bit and cantilever it over the existing stand, add a couple of extra rows of seats maybe and a load of corporate boxes along the back to try and bring in some more matchday revenue. Bars and better facilities for the normal punters too. I don't mind the current facade but something more modern would be good. |

If there's a desire to do anything with the main stand it'll probably be to upgrade and expand media facilities, mixed zone, maybe even warm area for players etc rather than extend capacity. Do we not have to out a marquee up in the car park to host the media fir CL games? Can imagine them wanting to sort that. |

You're right about the CL media zone. I agree the main stand could do with a face lift and amongst that a better media area, better dressing rooms and a better tunnel, maybe even look at building the dugouts into the stand and some new corporate boxes. Just gives the stadium a better feel and could see increased corporate revenue |

As I recall he board announced years back that they were officially going to give the front of the stadium a facelift using marble but pulled out due to the cost. It was during the Lawwell era. Don't think any artwork was published though so no idea what it would have looked like |

To put a wee bit of perspective on things, this mornings news with regards Moussa, Craig, Jozo, Erik and big Effe, combined with our European earnings, theoretically could pay for a new museum, a full size training pitch, statues of all the "Lisbon Lions" either side of the "Celtic Way" and an upgrade in the old stand facilities. :-) |
