The existing structures have set a planning precedent in terms of land use and physical characeteristics such as height, parking etc. They've been there for years and thats half the battle. However be sure that the neighbours will scrutinise every comma and dot, and rightly so. The fact that the stadium has been there before many of the residents moved in won't stop opposition though.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can be certain that any proposed development will be scrutenised line by line and there will be objections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get that plot of land behind the college and almost nothing changes. Get stuck lumped band in the middle of it, near the Sport Centre, of away up the far end behind the BOC road to Cleland and it becomes an issue. In terms of distance covered it wouldn't look like a massive change, that only comes in if you start to look at what else it entails. St Johnstone only moved 1.5km from Muirton Park but I wouldn't have classed McDairmid sitting on its tod stuck by the side of the dual carriageway on the outskirts of Perth as feeling part of the community. It's only now with new build houses and everything else that brings cropping up round about it that the town is starting to catch up to it but that's taken over 30 years. The plans for Ravenscraig have shifted quite a bit since the original idea, understandably, since a fair bit of EU money was expected to help it along. It seems now it's heading towards being a largely industrial complex. There's long been talk of adding 2 train stations (one between Motherwell - Shieldmuir and one between Holytown - Wishaw) which might help and a football stadium appearing might encourage other things to crop up but that took a generation in Perth. Fair summation.

FirParkCornerExile Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Good update from Kyrk Macmillan. If I had free reign and limitless money to upgrade Fir Park, I'd fill in the corners , remove the top tier of that South Stand Monstrosity, New Main Stand and new roof on the East Stand. The filled corners could compensate for the loss of the top tier of the South Stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Its an eyesore and completely out of sync with the rest of the ground. Same as Pittodrie's beach end. If we are going to develop the ground lets make it look like a decent venue.

Problem is we dont have limitless money, so the McLean wont be going anywhere unless we move altogether. Far more pressing issues. The McLean isnt without its problems, but I quite like the quirky nature of it. Gives the ground a distinctive look. Also allows us to milk the ugly sisters without having to share your matchday experience with them! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
