Go build whatever is possible for the new budget once that is finalised.

Anything North of the Athletic Grounds would be more than ample.

Plush seating and Catering for blazers and corporates a bonus omly if it can be afforded.

Strange perspective.

I think the working presumption is that these seats pay for themselves and add to the viability of stadia. At the expense, in terms of space, of the ordinary punter but not in any other sense. They are not so much an optional add-on but rather a somewhat regrettable must-have.
Really? They don't pay for themselves when the "blazers" and back-skappers use the corporate area to invite their mates or suppliers to their business as a wee perk, without putting their hand in their pocket. Anyone familiar with the old Casement will remember the big gate being cracked open when mates of the staff rocked up. It needs to be run properly as a business and not a boys club.

Again a strange perspective.

Corporate spaces are put in as money earners for stadia. Surely that must have occurred to you? The attendees may not pay on the day but the corporates prepay for corporate or sponsorship packages.

Running it as a business will necessarily mean having corporate packages to diversify revenue and provide more guaranteed revenue.
