Did they not do similar with the Kemlyn Road Stand at Anfield and the stands at Old Trafford or did they rebuild the whole stand from scratch?
While we're on the subject, the Kemlyn Road stand, at first they just built the boxes and second tier behind the existing stand. It opened in 1992. The lower tier seating was revamped in 1995 because it still had pre-taylor recommended seat treads.

At Old trafford they completly demolished the 1960's north stand and built the current 26000 structure, with the east stand, thery did the same as they did at Anfield built the extra tier and roof behind and re-profiled the seating in the close season, the West stand they just built the tier behind because it was originally built in 1994.
