It's going to have a great view. You will prob be able to see the Severn from up there. I'm looking forward to seeing what's its like.

Thats some veiw fairplay, must be about 50meters up. Can't wait for the supercup to see it completed and full for the first time (on TV) also curious to see what kind of atmosphere our stadium produces with to major European teams taking over the stadium for the night

Just a pity we won't fill it, we would need to be playing Man Utd or a big PL team in the FA cup to get near capacity, shame :bluescarf: :old: :bluescarf:

Or running away with the league... Think we will get a few 30k plus's crowds second half of the season. If we look set to go straight back up.

I don't think we'll get anywhere near 30k next season, even if we're top

Looks very good. Lots of people I know have moved to this area. Coukd sadly be one of the most populated parts of the stadium. :bluescarf:

When the season tickets went off sale there were about 1000 sold for this stand which holds about 5000, so there will be plenty of room. I've moved up there and that view looks fantastic, I'm also looking forward to having no queues for the bar or food and a decent concourse to have a pre-match drink in. :ayatollah:

As for selling 30k, well Leicester were getting similar gates to us when we were competing for the top places and they have had some 30k+ gates toward the end of the season, so yes there is a chance if we do well.

Also IF we get back up then we'll sell it out for the big club visits again.

Good to see the club being ambitious and looking long term. Nice change from years ago when NP shrank season after season with areas being closed, and the only ambition was to sell any decent player for whatever we could get.

It's not a worry, personally I'm more concerned about people who want to see us play NOT getting tickets than having empty seats when people DON'T want to see us play.

It looks too far in the air for me. I'd hate to be sat l the way up there with zero atmosphere and a shit view

Re: Ninian extension

Wouldn't mind buying a ticket there for a pre-season friendly :ayatollah:

EH! the first couple of photos are what has always been there, the only photo of the new stand is the last one. To the right of that photo is the old roof which will be taken off when the season ends :thumbup:

The photos are taken from the roof of the Ninian stand, they still haven't took it off yet.

Just seen that they have started to put on those very bland grey fascia boards on the outside. Makes you sort of love the random legoesk pattern of blue, yellow and white.
