SOL expansion

[Lord Nigle]

I know your tongue is firmly in cheek, but the cinema.

Reads like someone with OCD

 

[Julio Mackemo]

This season will be mostly sold out if not all games. We can not afford to lock out kids.

SAFC is in a unique position in the premier league with the SOL being relatively easy to extend and relatively cheaply. Nobody experts the owners to start building tomorrow but I would like to hope it’s being looked at.

Exactly what I intimated earlier, it’s why a stand of cheaper tickets works. Think it’s what Man City are doing.

Just jumped on the bus into town.
Empty seats everywhere, Arriva should be embarrassed.
Go Ahead north east must be pissing themselves laughing at them.

 

[Chunky Dunky]

We aren't just talking expansion though. People want to expand the tiers, increase the concourse areas and add multiple corporate options, boxes etc.

£15m wouldn't touch the sides man.

The irony of complaining about lack of detail while making generalised claims with no detail whatsoever.

Also the RPI in 2000 was around 170 whereas now it is around 400 so a factor of 2.5 higher. Using a factor of 3 seems conservative especially given 25 years progress on productivity and construction technology, however perhaps you have some detailed analysis that shows otherwise ?

I rekon if we stay up they will go ahead with it.

I'd love nowt more than to stay up this season and crack on with an extension because it's sold out every week.

I just don't think it'll be as cheap as people think and whether the owners are likely to do it.

Single decker or double?

Single decker or double?

It was a single, even more embarrassing.

We were turning up in plenty of numbers for the capacity when we were in prem. Inevitable the crowds drop when you end up in league 1 man.

Extend stadium asap imo. Shows ambition. 55k should do it

Sunderland til we drop to League 1

 

[KST]

The increase in ST prices should include cup games….Give supporters some rewards and incentives

Competition rules wouldn’t allow that unfortunately iirc.

Bore off.

 

[Fact Hunt]

Go to Statcat and look at our attendances. We could be 20k one match and 39k the next.

So we have some fickle fans, eh?

 

[Be Here Now]

Aye but it's a song. You don't take it literally. Other clubs will sing the same/similar.

You mean you don’t have a garden shed bigger than a football ground?
