Hey guys, Enrico was reading interesante article from Celtic Underground there on new main stand.
These guys mention Liverpool managing it and also Crystal Palace.
What is thoughts of Ed and the rest of my friends guys.
Enrico think 3-0 today guys.
Hail Hail.
{Ed007's Note - I am 100% against redeveloping the main stand as like the rest of the stadium it'll only be full for flag day if we win the league, the day we win the league, 2 Derby matches and the CL games. The atmosphere is bad enough without having thousands more empty spaces.}

I'm with you Ed.
The number of empty seats irks me at times. Many fans want to attend but can't get ticket. ST holders should inform the club if seat will be available on a one-match basis. Seat gets filled so helps the atmosphere and team, club get a wee bit extra revenue. Win/ Win for us.
{Ed007's Note - Exactly TT, until there is a ticket resale/exchange system set up and talk of capacity expansion is solely down to the financial gain from extra season tickets. We need to make sure we can fill the capacity we have regularly before any realistic plans to extend it are being spoke about.}

Very poor first half, even though we are leading.
Defensively we have been carved open. I am a Taylor supporter but today in first half he has been poor.
He was on right wing at one point. His wandering has left huge space on our left, which they have exploited.
Idsh has missed 2 good chances, which Kyigo would probably have scored. He doesn't have the movement of Kyogo, so our wide men need to deliver different balls into him, not the low front post balls.
Hopefully we improve 2nd half, we couldn't be poorer by our standards.

I'm with you ed. In theory, a south stand extension would be great. The reality is we'd struggle to fill it other than the games you identified, especially as is likely, the league will be a shoo in most years so interest will drop off.

The south stand has really poor facilities and should be redeveloped as a priority. I agree we don’t need additional capacity but it is the major flaw Fergus made with the stadium. Get the architects in to redesign if front is to be kept etc this is the best time in our history for finances so if we don’t do it now shame on them. On a side note it’s embarrassing to see the tent put up for champions league matches.
{Ed007's Note - I don't see the point of spending millions of £s just to improve facilities in the South Stand, if we're going to do it then do it right - get the ticket exchange set up, redevelop the South Stand AND redevelop the lower tier of the Jock Stein stand as a standing section.}
