I wasn't advocating not buying the ground back first, naturally that would kick off any improvement, although it didn't stop Glover putting a roof over the North Stand.

And which side would you replace West or East?
Either side would lose the standing area if you did use it.

I have to say this would look great at Belle Vue but would alter the place significantly.

East stand. The west stand is crying out for a simple full length 'home' terrace.

Personally I'd do the West Stan, the East stand when it's done will need to be something more significant than this. It'll need hospitality, executive boxes etc.. It'll be the main reception for VIPs into the ground and so on.

I'm guessing that if they want rid of that stand they may well be open to the kind of deal that Fev got from Scarbrough, ie it's free but dismantling moving and tidying up the site is at Trinitys cost

As well as the costs of getting it erected here

Also wanted to say I agree with the west stand being a first for me as well,it's a pity the Chav corner stand couldn't have continued to the North stand if only to smarten it up a bit

Yes but that wouldn't have anything to do with the deal to acquire it, that would be on us
