I think building a new stadium would be great but if we did it would be built like all the other new ones we have seen recently and would have a capacity of approx 30,000. I would prefer to spend the money on Hillsborough, knock the West Stand down and build one that connects to both the south and North stand and then give away fans the corner between the south and new west stand. Replace the roof on the kop to remove the pillars and pretty much leave the south stand alone. Aside from that the concourses need a vast improvement, easily done in the North and South stands where there is room to make the improvements, much harder for the kop though because of the mound of dirt underneath it. If money permitted I would knock the kop down, get rid of the old mound and rebuild from level ground to produce the space to have concourses behind and under a new stand. I would also buy up the land across Penistone Road from the Kop, and turn it into a sort of fan-fest area with food and drink being available before and after the game, but all services owned by the club and entrance only available to season ticket holders. I would also start a campaign to buy all the houses on the street behind the North Stand with the eventual aim of improving the club shop, adding parking space and redevloping the whole stand.

No idea how much that would cost but I am sure it would be cheaper than a 30k do-it-yourself kit stadium plus the cost of the land to build it on!!
