fair enough paul, you seem very determined to get your point across. fwiw, i like the look of 2 tier stands and i believe that having a second tier it will improve the view for those people in it over one large single tier stand. talking of atmosphere i believe the stadium is a copy of the cologne w/c stadium? i read that it was easy enough to create a wall of noise in that stadium.

hmmm... well the design of kirkby seems to have 2 tiers round the pitch. i'm happy that has been incorperated in the plans. the main problem with one huge single tier stand like the kop is an obvious one. people at the back need binoculars to see the action. by cutting the stand in half it improves the viewing for all the supporters. for a decent atmosphere- lets be honest there really are no grounds in the country that produce thumping noise at every game. perhaps a way round this is to include safe standing behind each goal. i believe everton are interested in this and it could be a nice addition to the kirkby ground if it were included.

5th is looking very dodgy with these performances. oh- how different might the season have been if we had won the penalty shoot out. on the bright side... we need 1 more point for our best points total in 16 years.

all the kop is is one large single tier stand. at everton we have a tradition of the double decker stands and if we move to a new stadium i'm sure that is what they will have in mind. the problem with the gwladys is that the roof is too high to trap any decent acoustics. we need a smaller lower tier and larger upper to help noise retention and have imposing stands right over the pitch.

a win tonight will just about squeeze us into 5th. coyb!!!

just popped my head in to see what's happening here!
