as a bit of a distraction from the play-offs
No doubt Ilyas has researched the idea as thoroughly as possible and is probably continuing to do so, and there are no guarantees that it will even happen, but what ideas do we the fans think need to be incorporated into any new stadium build?
We know that he reads this forum and views it as an ideal medium for fan to board interaction, so perhaps if even just one nugget is incorporated that hadn't been even considered then its worthwhile.
I'd like to start by offering that in order to maintain some linkages to our heritage that perhaps we should incorporate the design element of our current stadium (the good bits anyway) into any new build. The main stand and the Clayton End are reasonably well constructed and are different than the usual identikit breeze block things that keep cropping up.
Obviously they''d be on a reasonably larger scale but the good bit of what we have is that they offer unrestricted views. I'd like the roof extending backwards as well so that any 'facilities' offered are under cover (and bricked in).
