Absolutely. I'm sure someone else on here mentioned an idea to have an option to have expanded seating as and when needed. Not sure how it could be done though.
Perhaps a smaller top tier could be added to the stadium design, have it covered up as they do now for European games at the front. This then could be incorporated when demand calls. This way all the seats (standing areas) I know, I'm being optomistic, could be sold in the ever present seats first. This would eliminate the chances of having vast holes between supporters for games that just don't generate enough interest.
I personally favour the idea of having a smaller capacity now but with future proofing in place. A stadium not a million miles from what we have at the moment but with an extra tier maybe. (Santiago Bernabauesqe)
Don't get me wrong, I would love the new WHL to have a bigger capacity than the Cunts down the road but we need to be realistic, both on and off the pitch. We need to have the consistency on the pitch to justify providing 61,000 seats immediately.
There is a thread on Skyscrapercity for the Etihad and they are in the process of expanding at the moment. There is a computer generated video of how they are increasing from the present 47ish thousand to approx 62,000. Very impressive.
I'm sure it's been addressed but can someone fill me in on why the plan was tossed to play at WHL while construction/demolition was done in stages?
In the old design the roof could be installed in stages, now it needs to be built in one.
Do you know why this is mate?
Seems difficult from an engineering point of view. Perhaps going for a lower capacity, but making possible expansion easier?
No, I'd heard the same as your friend re capacity - bigger than the emirates.
Well I believe what I've heard, this guy has no need to bullshit. It's pointless to build it smaller unless you have to.
some of my mates are super dons (AFC, not the franchise). Interestingly, in pictures they have posted on FB from their trip to the winkiedome during the week, it seems that MkFranchise FC have put seats in to the upper tier.
Idea of legitimising that greasy haired club stealing goon makes me fucking ill.

Their opening the top tier in preparation for the rugby world cup i think. Stadium MK is one of the grounds being used.

so , it seems that the RFU , despite the way that rugby people like to act, are as big a collection of money grabbing cunts as the FA.
who would have guessed?
I don't know if we have definite news on this ATM. Lots of speculation, no confirmation or denial from the club. Situation normal.
It may be that if Archway don't appeal, or indeed if it's all been sorted a while back as we read on here recently, then there's no need to pack up our troubles in our old kit bag. Instead we can stay at home and 'moan, moan' moan', as the song doesn't go.
I'd heard they had another two weeks as Haringey had to lodge the correct papers with various govt bodies
Good point Larry, and this may back that up.

Saw this on another site, assuming this relates to Archway, then the appeal time is still running. Assuming Archway haven't already settled.
10th Sept iirc
Have an 1882 section with reduced prices...
Seems that way, though remember we have ITK on here that's it all settled and has been for weeks. Hope the ITK is right.
Saw this stadium ITK post on SC. Make of it what you will, but it kinda backs up what I heard. The 4 games at Wembley make sense given the limitations of use, and the Toronto/Chicago idea seems very Levyesque. Anyway, all very interesting.
"Being based in the MK area, I had an interesting conversation with one of the stadium non sporting event consultants over the weekend. According to her, Tottenham Hotspur are finalising plans for moving out of WHL at the start of the 16/17 season. Subject to premier league AND Fifa approval, the aim is to play 14 league games at stadium MK, 4 at Wembley Stadium, and 1 in either Toronto or Chicago. The lady in question is most definately not bullshitting, but how accurate the information is that was passed on to her is anyones guess. She also said she had no idea as to where european and domestic cup games would be staged."
