this is bullshit

[Paolo]

tbh i dont like it....3 sides just looks crap imo, especially at that side. I wouldnt care if we lost the palm trees andwater views, i go to watch the football not the water.

4 sided stadium ole!

Dibo can you move the second level forward a bit and make it a roof for about half the first level? also make the top level a bit steeper and then we are in business

 

[dibo]

was mucking around with google sketchup the other night, and made up the following simple mockup of what a vastly expanded bluetongue might look like:

That looks good dibo but can you highlight the areas that will be terraces?

Also where is the high security away bay going to be? Best to let newieutd know where he will be sitting in the future. 

you'd do the central 3 bays of the lower northern end as a terrace similar to what's at werder bremen:

nothing to move, nothing to add, you just lock the seats upwards for terrace mode, allow them to be flipped down for seated mode. too easy. btw - bay 16 would still be the bay in the middle of the lower northern end.

not sure how many would fit in there tbh.

newcastle fans can be six feet under the turf.

there's a roof to the fenceline, to move the upper tier any further forward you either
- screw the sightlines for the peeps up top (they can't see the sidelines), or
- you have to flatten the lower tier so much you screw the sightlines for the lower tier (they can't see over the heads of those in front) and you don't clear the railway line, or
- you have to make the top tier so steep that it's simply not comfortable.

i'd be happiest with that too, just copy and paste the northern end on the south side and away you go. can't happen on that site though - bridge, palm trees, not enough room...

I've heard talk in the past about closing Dane Dr and diverting traffic around the back of Gosford in order to open up the waterfront. If this is the case then that would solve the Southern end grand stand problems. You may not have the space to mirror the northern end but you could build a smaller stand to fit into the available space. It doesn't have to be too flash - it's for the away supporters after all

PS Where will we play when this is being built? My guess is that it will take more than the off season to construct this masterpiece. Any suggestions? Perhaps schedule away games for the first half of the season??

build western grandstand first in the off season followed by eastern during the season with the Northern end done during the following off season.

thats why i reckon we should relocate to another area around gosford and turn the current stadium into apartments after the new stadium is built

I strongly disagree because if the stadium moves I will need to move again so I only have to walk across the road to get to Mariners games

Are we going to have yellow seats with "CENTRAL COAST MARINERS" written in Dark Blue Across it or something of the like?

Forget that, lets contact the club adz, advise that we only moved where we did due to the stadium, so if they move, they have to take us with them

 

[adz]

oh good call ;D

"RIDE THE WAVE"  ;D

Wasn't it so you could easily stumble your way home after the game?  ???  ;D

 

[Tez]

i think eventually (a long way down the track) the coast will get a second stadium much bigger further north on the Coast...
this being because there is only so much you can expand BT by.

 

[BrisRecky]

I still like the idea of going were the racetrack is

 

[thomas477]

cessnock is newy - unfortunatly Andrew Johns grew up there and any guesses to who he played for?

 

[Costar]

Hate to say it but Thomas is right.  I work up at Cessnock and there is no love for the mighty blue and yellow. Dyed in the wool scum up there.  Griffiths is God and they reckon the shirts are coloured gold not poo brown.  Only got one eye for two heads.  Not even worth thinking about. 

 

[thomas477]

Yeah and some of me friends come from cessnock - they hate yellow scum

 

[loyalist]

cessnock is the worst place ive ever been to
nobody should want ppl from their to support this club

 

[FFC Mariner]

Oh yuk - Cessnock people following CCM - thats not nice at all

 

[coast]

Mate scum isn't coloured yellow and blue, it's more of a shit brown, i think you'll agree.
