    As it would have been had the East Stand been developed by adding another small tier and more boxes

    The view from behind the East/Curbs Stand as it was and how it would have been with the living wall.

    The final stage of the planned development with the new museum circled.  Thanks Thomas.

    always loved the look of the new covered end and the clear nod to the old one, would've been very cool... alas.

    It's still fun to look at years later. Isn't there more houses built down the back of Lansdowne Mews that would prevent this plan for the East Stand moving forward today?

    Yes.  The houses wouldn't stop the build itself but access to the site would be very very difficult IIRC but I'm no enginner.

    I love the overhead illustrations, never seen those before.

    I do like the single tier Curbs stand. The open air concourse area, unless it's chucking it down, is much nicer than the enclosed ones elsewhere

    Shame there’s no pictures of what the JS stand would look like after developing

    Am I right it was to be about 35,000?
    Would have been amazing.  Not quite as good as the 80,000 on the Peninsula mind!

    I remember 41,000 being mentioned some time back

    It's not about seats or architecture - it's about soul. 
    The Valley, even as it is today, is still the best stadium in the country!
