OK, I was talking to my architect mate again last night and apparently AFL are very confident that their revised design will get the nod over the much more expensive HKS stadium. Both firms have been asked for plans and costs and the AFL design is coming in around £200m less than HKS.
He says the boardroom at AFL is full of images of their amended plans and he says it looks awesome with a much bigger Kop rising at one end (to accommodate the extra 10,000 fans) and two Wembley-style arches over the stadium. Unfortunately, however, he can't sneak any photos out so you'll have to take his (and my) word for it.
Apparently G & H have already had several meetings with one of AFL's senior partners (I know his name but won't publish it here) and the Manchester firm think they will get the nod.
That is all...
There is a light that never goes out. RIP Alan "Mally" Johnston and the 96. YNWA.
I really like the latest design from HKS, and i will be extremely dissapointed if we go back to a "standard" looking stadium.

Would new planning have to be given? and in your mates opinion which is more of the architectural gem, theirs or the Americans? Is their designed one going to look like the IKEA styled one model for all football club stadium?
