    Its iconic. Steeped in history. Its beautiful is some peoples eyes. The rest of the stands are faceless and boring. Its the only bit of history
    we should have and need to protect.

    Its not like we sell out every week

    Y'now what... I somehow kinda agree with you here..

    Fulham still have the Craven Cottage... so why not. It would be good ,however, to make the structure more sound and perhaps just give it a bit of a re-decorate... back stage facilities too could be improved . Oh and get rid of that stupid tv gantry that blocks out the dorma thing too. With bit of thought the West stand could become a very Iconic part of BFC.

    Hear what you say however

    If a really good makeover was achieved of the West stand , then it would be great.

    we should paint it. and put some domestos in the bogs. and take every alternate row out. and paint it again with fire retardant paint. red and white paint.

    Surely in this day and age we could rig up some sort of remote controlled Tv camera hanging off the top of the stand, so as not to spoil the look. And restore the gable to its former glory.

    Needs a spruce up and a paint job and a bit of modernisation but not replacing.

    I love the west stand, but it`s knackered and the facilities are jurassic not to mention the bogs. Upper tier has no legroom and made of wood from the early 1900`s. Embrace the 21st century :cool:

    Renovate it. Do the work that needs doing to make it safer. Put a few more plastic chairs on.

    But I wouldn't knock it down and rebuild it. It has character. It was funded by our FA cup win so it has history. And it is a completely pointless exercise, as the capacity of the ground doesn't need improving and to be honest, never will.
