Takeover News/Rumours

[jonny gently]

I

I think extending the South and East stands will take us to 65,000. Another tier on the West Stand so it would be 3 tiers would take it to 75,000.

Fully appreciate fantasy football but if and a big if there are any rich people looking at us it wouldnt cost a great deal, relitively speaking, to have one of the biggest and best stadiums around as we own the land and the stadium is designed for expansion. There are very few clubs in the country in our position.

If we ever got a really good team, the closest we've been is und Reid with the side that murdered Chelsea at the SOL 4-1 we should be able to fill at least 60.000 but it's a big if.

Yeah. Ten pages of stadium going past the capacity it was designed for and random red bull insertions. I gave up trying to find out what the crack was.

There'll be a takeover at some point in the future, but nobody knows when or who it will be. But some will still claim to be ITK. In a nutshell.

Everyone needs to calm down. Donald will still be our owner this time next year and we’ll still be a mid table League One club.

That’s the spirit.
Trump will still be president and we’ll still be in lockdown.
There’s no hope.

You were born before your time, they really needed people like you on the beaches in Dunkirk.

Imagine if we are taken over and one of the first decision's they make is to submit a planning application to extend the ground to 75k

champion,we'll have two seats each if we stay in this fukn league

We’ll probably be unemployed as well.

I tell it like it is.

Adding the north stand added 7,000 to the previous 42,000. The north stand extension included one corner as an extension too. If the same is done to the south stand then that should be at least another 7,000 (the back of the north stand was restricted due to the proximity of the pool behind it) taking us to 56,000. That would leave the longer east stand and two corners so adding that would add more than 7,000. I would estimate it would add 11,000 to 12,000 so if the upper bowl was completed we could end up with 67,000 to 68,000 seats. I’m not an architect btw - just did some calculations years ago

IIRC The pool wasn't there when they extended the North Stand.

We got nearly 49k sell outs when we were shit.

Shit? They happened to be strongest Sunderland teams in my lifetime.

Think that’s why they chose to do the north stand because if the pool was already built then we wouldn’t of got planning permission?

We wouldn't get 60k and we certainly wouldn't every week

2. We wouldn't get 60k and we certainly wouldn't every week

   Agree, sometimes we would play away.

Peak SMB this.

no takeover and the fans aren’t even allowed in and people are talking about a stadium expansion

Was the pool even thought of ? I've Googled the extension, was built in 2000, the pool in 2008.

 

[Pepe]

Another positive from the Stadium extension, we will naturally socially distance.

Social distancing?

I’m sure I read somewhere or it was a podcast with Bob Murray where it was mentioned. Might be totally wrong mind and dreamt it when I was pissed

 

[doodlebugs]

Social distancing?

aye,with a vengeance,just wish virus would fuk off and tek Donald with it

 

[rebelsafc]

I'd rather our first act was to sign some players I had faith in to get promoted.

I'd rather the Academy, scouting,sport science and all other essential support structures be invested in. We're not going anywhere without sound foundations
