I think the design fits in with the current trend of buildings along the Thames, how well it will date will only be see with time, what you have to remember is it needs to maximise income every day of the year otherwise you may as well stick with what we have now. As someone who has been coming to the Cottage for 43 years now I have plenty of experience with the weather at the ground and how exposed it is, they will have to block in the gaps at the top of the stand, can you imagine on a cold, windy, rainy afternoon or evening with the weather coming in from the west as it usually does, everyone will be soaked through and frozen. Sometimes the rain blows right across the hammersmith stand and even where i sit in row EE you can feel the rain, even when it's not that cold the wind can leave you very cold as it blows across.
There is no gap at the top of the stand. There will be a screen...possibly glass that separates the seating from the back of the stand. So no wind blowing under the roof and down onto the seats.
\\That's a relief, glass that can either be clear or misted at the press of a button so the sun doesn't shine through when the game is on would be a nice touch.

Honestly I am not worried about how it looks
I have 3 questions
1) will it improve the match day atmosphere - verdict uncertain
2) will it improve the match day comfort and experience - verdict yes
3) will it increase the club's revenues - verdict yes
So 2.5 of 3 for me

I just hope I can obtain a parking space when the underground car park is finished.

My concern is where Hammersmith End fans will go at half time.... the woman yesterday at the cafe didn't seem to know

Has a price been put on this proposal?

Would it mean anything to anyone if it had? The value of a development is different from the 'price' to build it. Depends what it yields in rent, revenue eta.

It's not and won't be a parking space.

I'd like to see a Stevenage Road end inspired design. Similar to how Birmingham Moor St, Baker St, Marylebone stations all look. Exposed brick and black beams.

Sounds much better but not very American and probably costlier.

For VIPs it will, and I am in that category.

there are 9 parking spaces, all for the flats.

There has to be some sort of glass paneling. Otherwise it will be like sitting in the Edrich stand at Lords at the Nursery end which when the wind blows through the gaps between the levels is bloody freezing

OK Flyingfish- calculating yield without a costing will be interesting.ie think more than just me will be interested in the price tag

I know nothing about contemporary designs or anything but from the outside, it looks like the external design of a new Tesco Extra

Quote of the day. My sentiments exactly.

I shall have to put my name down on 2 of the flats as I also have a horse and cart.

For a swim in the Thames, rumour has it they are erecting a diving board, in honour of players who dive on the field of play.  🏊‍♀️🏊🏾

Sorry Holders, not tracking your comment.  What's not very American?
