Agree that the inside is a mess, but I'm saying it's the principle of the external design rather than the actual design that I'm hoping for so it is meant to look like a derelict eyesore then?

Turning old industrial properties into residential/commercial properties and making them much nicer is quite a popular styling on this side of the pond. pete0, markjazzbassist and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that to match it we build new stuff and make them look like they are ready to be demolished then? Sorry to disagree but if it looks anything like that we can plan on it being used for storing potatoes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 remember this view of the idea for the Kings dock? what would be so wrong with a little update? It was very popular a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I don’t want modern, but I don’t want old fashioned either. It just needs to be good, do it’s job and not look crap in ten years. That’s why Dan earns the big bucks and we chat about it on a forum ?

Dave Hickson Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Rather than fill in the hole left by the dock I would like to see a massive underground car park (like Monaco) so that you could park under the corner flag with plenty of exits for cars, buses and coaches.

rubecula Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 ?The modern stadium you all hate isan artist impression of the one planned for the Kings Dock. I seem to remember some people who liked it back then Anyway,, it seems better to me than the brick shed. I do not care how modern or out of date the design may be as long as it is something we can be proud of, and the brick shed design is more vomit worthy than any other design we have seen of any stadiums anywhere else in the world.

StevO Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I agree that we used to like them. Back then they looked great, but we’ve been to these modern stadiums since and they look pretty crap and dated already. I like brick stadiums, that one in particular I’m not sure about. I love what Chelsea have done with their design around brick work. I think red brick should be used as it fits in with the docks, but I’m a traditionalist. rubecula, markjazzbassist, Matt and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
