SOL expansion

[Father Larry Duff]

What’s the story with it ? There were a few rumours last year regarding this. I’m assuming that with all the work going on with sheepfolds then it could be a case of now or never in the next year or two regarding expanding the South Stand.

 

[Smiter]

There is no now or never, no work at sheepfolds will take the land that would be used for putting 2nd tier on East and South stand.

it could definitely be a case of now, or never, or at any point in the future.

 

[englishman abroad]

The original plan was to extend the South stand increasing the capacity to 55,000, then when we make the champions league, extend the East stand taking capacity upto 63,000

 

[Geppetto]

Sounds like it's still very much the plan. We'll be playing in front of 60k plus watching prem and champs league football within the next ten years under this lot.

 

[Father Larry Duff]

When we eventually make it back to the Prem there won’t be enough room for hospitality. It’s the same for the gigs. We need to expand and we need to have boxes all the way round

[JackL]

A couple of bold claims so far. Can't knock the positivity i guess

Just a story.

On the cans tonight mate ?

 

[Sidewinder2]

Totally unnecessary

 

[Geppetto]

On the cans tonight mate ?

No mate, working out, too busy for the drink.

Trust me, we're going to be massive.

Clubs like Boro will be reminiscing about the time they only conceded one goal against us and nicked a flag that had been blessed with KLD's tears.

Imagine the sound of 15,000 East Standers opening their bait boxes in unison.

 

[Julio Mackemo]

35 new boxes in an expanded east stand and a monorail to park lane.

Imagine the sound of 15,000 East Standers opening their bait boxes in unison.

The smell of moth balls and Werther's Originals will be enough to take your breath away.

Could make the south stand into an enormous two storey standing terrace. Bigger than Dortmund's. Red n White Wall anyone?

 

[MoneyballII]

Unnecessary from a footballing perspective in terms of fans but very sensible for increased hospitality and as a concert venue if we want to substantial increase income.

Whether it’s seen as financially viable by KLD & Co really depends on how long they see themselves being here.

Would we give it to the mags next time we play them?

 

[Spaceturtle]

I’d love to see us at 60,000 plus like roker before they knocked down the roker end. They could make the tickets cheaper. Like they do in Germany

 

[Mowgli]

Load of shite.

Won't ever happen unless we regularly sell out or have waiting lists for season tickets

 

[si73]

No.
