Apologies if this has been posted before.

But nice wee video,though wonder how many will actually go ahead after covid? 

 

 

Anfield 

St James

 

will look amazing when these redevelopments happen . Liverpool’s will was meant to start this year no too sure on St James 

 

Dundee & Parkhead will never happen 

 

old Trafford pretty pointless will spend millions on a roof with no upgrade to capacity no sure why they would need a roof ?

The plan was to add a 3rd tier and a sliding roof to the main stand at Old Trafford. Video suggests otherwise. I know wolves have scrapped their redevelopment plans for the time being. Fulham seem to be the only one in that video who have actually started the work. Think maybe even halfway at least.

Dundee? Portsmouth? York City? They are the LOL ones.

 

I suspect the Premiership ones are probablyes & possibles and the others will be "postponed".

 

I mean they could've put Vlad's plans in there for all it matters...

Despite the bitching and moaning on here we're lucky we have a renovated stadium and a decent cash stream.

Don't envy Aberdeen or Dundee.

Reckon Aberdeen’s will happen albeit later than scheduled and probably over budget. Lesser Hampden will happen as part of the deal with the SFA re selling Hampden.

 

Dundee is pie in the sky, could maybe happen if they ground share with their neighbours.

Makes sense Dundee and United to share a stadium wouldn’t need to be that big either stadium like Livingston 10k would do them . 
 

looking at other stadiums in Scotland doesn’t have make you proud of what we have with tynecastle wouldn’t change it for anything else .

Dundee and utd are just stupid not to groundshare and develop Tannadice street as an elite performance hub. And combined training performance centre like the Oriam with an elite gym, pool, spa, hotel entertainment venue. 

 

It would go a long way to help Scotland get more elite sports people and allow us to host sporting events in the summer months. 

 

Not just football all sports. 

Imangine a massive hotel/casino with a hall for darts, bowls, snooker, boxing, mma, curling, basketball, netball, handball, squash, table tennis, futsal, badminton, tiddly winks, dominos, poker tourny's. 

 

All revinue split between both teams. 

 

I don't think that is a pie in the sky unrealistic achievement.

Smart video that. There's one for European grounds too that I'm gonna watch. Even if not wholly accurate, it looked good.

 

Aberdeen away looks ****ing soulless though. Building these flatpack stadiums in the middle of nowhere is going to almost kill the away day culture if there's not any decent transport infrastructure. A few grounds currently could do with that tbh.

Imangine Aberdeen has that bison (vision) as outlined above and have a trump like vision for a casino and for it to be a litutal Atlantic city of the North. Now Brexit has transitioned. Why can't Aberdeen and the city Council ask for a gambling licance and for it to become a gaming/gambling municipality like Gibraltar has for all online platforms. Generating tax revinue for the government (whatever govt that might be)

Celtic's looks as if they'll maintain the poor sightlines from the away end too - class!

 

Thanks for posting the video though, very interesting stuff.

All roads lead to Gorgie

I notice most of those clubs have some waste ground / large car parks beside their stadiums to build on or a sympathetic council willing to re-route a road.

I still hold out for a bigger Wheatfield in time and that would really put those tin pot Aberdeen and Dundee plans to shame. We are already streets ahead but that would really put us in a different league.

If Tynecastle was to be expanded, anyone got a rough idea what it would look like? 😁 And is their a limit on how much capacity we are allowed to expand it too?.

Would love it if we could buy the old school and the distillery land (if they moved out the city completely). Could do a full redevelop further over and have the old space as a Gorgie community plot, with market stalls etc.

No Easter Road being turned into a Tesco?? Only reason I watched it, disappointed 😉

Some of them are fan generated ideas. 

 

Still good to re-imagine some of the stadiums though with new stands.

Bazzas right boot

Not many corners getting filled in there,. 🙄

 

Newcastles looked like Murrayfield imo.

The Dundee new stadium looks utterly shite.  Worse than Aberdeen's proposed new stadium.  Makes you grateful to still be playing at Tynecastle after viewing those monstrosities.

I think it would actually be quite a good move for them.  Dens is an absolute eyesore, and it would take some serious money to bring it up to speed.  They'd be better selling off the land and letting them build houses on it, like they do with every other spare bit of land up that side of town.

 

It would have direct access onto the Kingsway, making getting to the stadium much easier than it currently is, and giving you somewhere to actually park your car instead of having to leave it a 30 minute walk away at best.  It's also well away from the absolute shitehole of a stadium they currently inhabit. 

 

The bit of land they're proposing is just wasteland next to the Ice Rink, so a bit of development would probably be good, especially for the businesses that are up that way.  There's already a cinema, ice rink, hotel/Travelodge, pub/restaurant, McDonald's and KFC up there, which makes a prospect of a visit to Dundee FC a bit better than the current option of getting stabbed in the Hilltown on the way up to visit Dens.

 

It'll never happen though, they don't have the money, and they don't get close to half filling the scrapheap that they currently have (pre-pandemic).  Total pipe dream for them.

I have never understood why the two Dundee clubs don't ground share. One glaring omission from that really interesting video was Hampden. Hampden is an absolute dump and represents how hopeless the people are who actually run Scottish football. We would have been better moving to Murrayfield or playing cup semi-finals, finals and international games at either Ibrox or Parkhead.

Fulham's one looked great.

Probably able to rent out the space overlooking the Thames.

 

Dissappointed not to see Tynecastle on it with the corners being filled.:whistling:

The suggestion of ground sharing is only really mentioned because the current stadiums are so close.

 

If they were at opposite ends of Dundee it probably wouldn’t be discussed so often.

I’d imagine if a ground share was proposed they would suggest an artificial pitch as being played on at least once a week wouldnturn a grass pitch to a ploughed field pretty quickly. And personally the last thing I’d want to see would be another plastic pitch.

You are probably right, plastic pitches should not be allowed in the premiership. Would still surely make financial sense to have ground sharing for the two Dundee clubs.
