So Peter, just for clarification, are you saying the Kop could be expanded easily without re-routing the road? You’re going to break a lot of hearts at skyscraper city here.
Peter has been consistent on this for years. He doesn't think a re-routing is necessary. He did that middle pic a few years ago if I remember correctly.
I think he's broadly correct in principle. Put a new roof on it, you could get a few more thousand here and there, up the sides and maybe in the back corners. From the owners perspective it'd be about facilities for food and drink etc to bump up the revenue, and the cost of building that and bigger concourses, toilet facilities etc.
If safe standing comes in, and the numbers are greater than one for one, that's where I think it might get more complex from a logistic pov. But a small re-routing rather than anything too complex might solve all that too. That's basically what they've done with the Annie Road plan.
Edit: here you go Meady, quite a bit of discussion and info in here, all still relevant I think.
https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=323829.0I think someone had done a pic/drawing of the current Kop, roof less somewhere a few years back. Wish I could find it, as it would illustrate the point.
