| Quote jj86="jj86"Think before they added a tier on they would just extend the terracing back above the concourse. Presumed it was designed to be easily expanded like this - fair enough it includes the expense of removing the roof but certianly easier than adding a tier. THe south stand would be brilliant if it went further back.'"
if you look closely at the south stand it has the potential to be made bigger at the back already, there is a space between where the terraces end and the outside wall which would fit another 1,500 without having to remove and replace the roof. next time you go just look where the wall is on the outside compared to where the terraces end. it's plainly visable from where i stand in the west stand (i often wonder what is actually in that space currently, is it a secret passage a la harry potter?) |

we just need to make sure that we can fill the stadium and not have a half empty stadium if we move it to 18,000 we dont still want a half empty stadium when we play quins or catalans

I'm confused. Do you mean the outside wall of the terrace or the outside wall of the entrance? From memory the outside of the terracing doesn't go back as far as the edge of the stand. This space could be used but the roof would have to be removed and replaced as all the supports are currently behind the terrace area. |

i've not explained myself very well, sorry.
if you look at the very back of the stand, where the big screen is currently, there is a space between the wall that the big screen is on and the outside wall of the stadium. take into account how high the screen is, if you remove the inner wall you'd have enough space for about 3-4 more steps of terrace. (that makeseven less sense i'm sure!) it would make the south stand as deep as the west (nearly). |

I think I know what you mean. But the supports for the roof are behind that wall so you would have to take them out and replace the roof (i just checked on google street view). Good job neither of us are architects isn't it? |

The back wall of the stand is the current outside of the terracy area. The area between this and the outside of the footprint is the support for the roof

If they are going to expand the South stand, I reckon the best plan would be to extend the current deck the police/broadcast studio is on & put boxes in there

What we need is a Camp Nou, simple. Mega high, 100,000 capacity, like watching subbuteo.
Sort it Gatcliffe, and Broomhead - I don't think it's anything to do with you but your name is funny and should appear more for that reason.

Going off topic slightly - Has anyone actually seen the Broomhandle Mauser sober? Saw him ballooned again at Quins! 
Back on topic - how will the stadium work affect the turnstiles to the South? Only the West side open? |

For those speculating about other possible expansions, this is fairly recent (last December):
www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/new ... s_Stadium/
Interestingly, looks like the plan to fill the corners in advanced pretty quickly as this was said at that time:
"We could also fill in the corners but you have to be creative in how you do that"
Rather than extra terracing on the South, looks like this is more favoured:
"we could put lounges and seating above the standing area in the South Stand. That’s expensive, but it can be done because I’ve got the drawings" - i.e. making the top of it look a bit like the top of the North / East.
There certainly is a large space above the South concourse - you can see it if you look up whilst standing near the kiosks as the ceiling has been removed. |
