Must not be re-orienting the ground through 90 degrees then, as suggested by some, otherwise it would not be the East stand anymore.

In reality there are many options moving the east stand back allowing the pitch to be moved also opening space on the west, a complete turn round with the pitch running east to west but I pretty MC and his colleagues have a plan now that they're in the starting blocks.

Sounds great but I don't think that's a go-er for us. Way too expensive.
There is room for a stand at the west side. There was one there before.

Yes, I remember sitting in it. Thought they had looked into a stand on that side and a problem with planning permission and blocking visibility for Sky tv cameras.

Not expecting anyone to know answer , but if a new stand on west side interfers with Sky cameras,how on earth do they manage at normal four stand grounds?

I think that was just because the gantry wasn't high enough, they wouldn't have been able to see the corners.

New gantry would need to be included i guess, either built on top or hanging beneath the roof.

It also has to be at that side of the ground with the sun.

If the east stand is planning to be first, surely that’s not possible without the purchase of the houses? If it’s literally months rather than years to the first phase then those houses are either purchased or need purchasing ASAP

The houses are well out of the way for what would likely be constructed there. It's not as if it's going to be the size of Anfield's main stand.

Will we be able to tell the travelling friends to jog on now whenever they turn up?

IIRC it was the proposal under the Glover regime to put a roof down all of the western terrace, which would have been below the TV gantry, which was the reason for the small covered area in the corner.
If they were to flatten that side and start again, I'm pretty sure that it could be sorted. Plus, if there was going to be some major development on the East side, then surely, they could be something over there to accommodate TV and Press etc it doesnt need to stat on the Western Terrace.
As for having a stand over there, it wouldn't have to be anything too big. Only Cas, Leeds and maybe FC bring anything over a couple of thousand fans so, plenty of room on that side without too much effort, although the terracing / seating would need lifting from its current level.
