SOL expansion

Either way I’m another who thinks it should happen, massive potential here IF can get it right but mustn’t lose future generations to the barcodes.
I can understand need for some more corporate but also need more seats for the ordinary working man woman child

There are still plenty of seats for the casual match goer

So no extra general seating?

As i say unlike andrew is saying im not saying im itk but whats been said theres been no talk about the reason about increasing capacity - its all about improving the experience and increasing revenue on the numbers weve got. Murray was a good bloke but he created the biggest ground making bugger all revenue

You're not 'in the know' but you know info that hasn't been made public, mate?

In what way have I been personal, mate? I think you're maybe confusing me for someone else.

If you're still on here under this username I'll throw an apology (for doubting your info) your way in September after the work starts.

Calling someone billy liar is personal do you need that spelling out, would you say that to someone you hardly knew in real life (behind back fair enough)

But see, this is where the confusion and debates starts. You say this about increasing revenue on the numbers we have etc, yet @Blyth reckons he's seen plans and also said we need to extend the ground to be able to fit all these things in.

Not really interested in debating who's right etc but you can see how it doesn't really add up. 2 people who know what's happening can't even agree

If the cap fits. That was in direct response to some personal abuse you sent my way. I'll apologise for that in September if you're not a liar.

Until its all announced its all moot. But if you think this leadership team are going to leave the ground as it is and just bodge a few boxes in then you havent been paying attention

I never said they would. I'm just doubtful any plan is as far along as people claim and doubt several on here know about it when they all conflict with information.

Can’t agree on what? All I’ve ever said is the club needs to and wants to increase its revenue by extending the stadium to offer better facilities. I’m not sure why you don’t understand that and why you’re trying your best but failing to pit people against each other. As far as I’m aware that’s what the other lad has said.

As it stands, all new corporate hospitality has utilised existing stadium space and there hasn't been a huge amount of capital investment into the stadium.

This is possibly because they've (rightly) prioritised spending on on the field activities so far. We'll find out by September anyway. It'll be a huge statement of intent so I hope you're right.

It doesn't sound like that's what he's doing to me. He's just asking a few questions, mate. Probably just curious and that. Not everyone has the benefit of seeing plans and stuff.

You said they'd be building/extending a stand and wouldn't just be for boxes. So you don't think there will be additional capacity general seating?

It’s not at all. And you absolutely are no matter how you try to dress it up. I’ve been absolutely consistent. The club has plans to extend the stadium and improve the offering to fans and increase revenue. Whether it ever happens is another subject. I’ve never deviated.

I’ve also said the idea of renting hotels out, plonking a few boxes at the back and making people walk from the other side of the stadium and share toilets and bars with places that are already rammed is at best, daft.

Usually when people can’t comprehend simple things they just ramble on. I’m not saying this is happening here mind.

Yes. As nothing else makes sense.

Who has mentioned September? At this point you’re just looking to arguments.
