SOL expansion

That was a typo, North East Corner.

Typo, I meant North East Corner. I corrected myself afterwards but it went on a different post because the 5 minute edit time was up.

I think the difficulty would be all the catering that sits behind it, but maybe there’d be a possibility of doing a ‘lite’ version of the West Stand boxes? There is a lot of room at the back of the East Stand/South Stand and a lot of wasted space under the concourse, plus a lot of room outside both stands, so I’m sure in this day and age some clever engineering could find a way of doing it.

Have you been in the BCB before? one of the toilets are at that side.

They could even extend the western toilets and have that as the box holder toilet block. All possible ways of extending the corporate offering without building a new stand.

Yeah. The catering is the biggest hurdle, but I think it's something they might consider/have considered if they want to increase hospitality without building an extension.

NEC will be aways from the start of 26-27 anyway so that whole point is moot.

Is that confirmed? If so, it's unlikely anyone would want a box behind away fans - unless it's away corporate hospitality which quite a few people think is incoming? Then the ones on the East Stand could be for MLFs.

Didn't you say plans were already in place? Surely if you know that then you can say what the alleged plan is and it would save all these attempts to create a workable solution.

There doesn’t need to be a workable solution. The solution is extending with new corporate and hospitality areas if the club wish to do so. Rather than half arsed daft suggestions.

There’s plans there, and they’ve been there a while for forward planning just like the playing side has.

And obviously I can’t as it’ll compromise people. But you already knew that.

It may never happen, but as you put it “the club wouldn’t have even gave it a second thought” they absolutely have and still are.

Anyway I’m done, can’t be bothered with someone reporting every comment to try and prove his point, it’s absolutely pathetic.

I reckon the club will explore several solutions rather than one, mate.

Have you seen them, mate?

If high revenue stuff like hospitality is in demand, and likely to remain in demand, then it should be done if it's cost effective and not at the expensive of on the pitch investment.


I didn't suggest doing that.

Would any external modifications be required for that? Obviously we would lose capacity, but could it be done within the existing structure?

We have some boxes in the single tier South West Corner don't we? Or have I imagined that?

You might have noticed some of my posts have been redacted. I presume it was just pro-active moderating, as I'm not all that paranoid and that, mate.

That's the main thing. What was your old username before you were banned, mate?

You do seem a bit paranoid i have no old gripe with you but you just get on my wick with the negativity, over confidence in your own opinions and picking people up on typos and grammar. Anyway its nowt personal we are all lads fans so im moving on. I will say when theres an announcement about the extension you can just say a polite sorry and i will forgive you no bother, mate
