A lot of clubs now have posh lounges/restaurants that look onto the pitch, they might decide to split the space in the BCB into a smaller more premium hospitality lounge plus a few boxes? Like you say have another smaller bar in the old club shop.
Yep, completely understand that.
As i have said before this would cost millions and not adding extra seats in the process would be a missed opportunity as it would only be a small part of the overall cost. Folk tend to think adding boxes is a simple affair but with the structural changes required to support the boxes ,the stairs,fire exits, kitchens corridors and the like its a huge undertaking and cost, one that KLD will not be doing anytime soon !leopards do not change their spots and KLD is not one for massive investment and if there is to be any changes to the sol it will be in drips and drabs over many years and will probably result in a reduced capacity by several thousands.
Love a conspiracy theory. More proof some fans would be happy for us just to spend and spend.
He’s spent the most amount ever on the SOL after 25 years of neglect
£140 a head though
Very true but hes protecting his investment from crumbling following the years of neglect..the lights the sound system all needed replacing even just to get a safety certificate lets not conflate much needed maintenance of the ground and a spankink new light show as some sort of pointer to the desire to make the sol one of the better grounds in the land......im guessing the next step will be to make the sol as attractive to concerts as its competition within their small budget remit ....i wouldn't be surprised if the entrance tunnel in the south stand will be made bigger (losing seats ) to allow better access for setting up and dismantling concerts ..nothing that KLD has done here since he took over (the second time) makes me think there will be significant structural changes to the sol anytime soon. oh and no conspiracy theory mate just observation !and how you get that to spend spend spend is beyond me!Love a conspiracy theory. More proof some fans would be happy for us just to spend and spend.

Why would he make the access tunnel bigger? it’s already bigger than the majority of stadium access tunnels in the UK
Hope they were told to fuck off given the mess we made of the cup last year
Its cheap and it would make acces better!I gave up comparing size when my ball dropped mate (I was 55 & 3/4)....... lets just bookmark this and wait and see!
Assuming it will replace the black cats bar? Old club shop becomes some kind of low level bcb type hospitality?
Be an upgrade to black cats bar though with west stand seats I’d imagine
Mate you can drive an ambulance through the access tunnels
If they we’re big enough for Ed Sheerans stage and the Take That circus concerts I think they’ll big enough for anything
Yep, a figure of £20 million was quoted as what they’d pay. I’d want another 0 on the end before even sitting down with them. Even then the consequences would be too horrific to contemplate.

Mind boggling isn't it, someone suggests it's for improving hospitality and boxes, then someone responds straight back with a "but we don't need more seats?" for the 50th time. Are people's brains falling out between posts or something?
