SOL expansion

I don’t think it was. The north stand concourse was exactly like the south stand concourse now with no room for hospitality or padded seats.

To my memory, there was the sports bar in the West stand and that was it as far as any hospitality bars were concerned.

What is your Google search meant to show?

You're wrong like. How did people get up to the black cats bar back before they built it?

I did a search in which AI suggested the bar was there from 97. The below shows otherwise so you were correct.

You'd hope if extending other areas any corporate bars would be superior to that build 25 years ago so may take longer.

You'd need the legislation to change from 1:1 first and then you'd also need to extensively retrofit additional access/exits/facilities for the uplift to get a safety certificate.

TBF if they extended the access/ exits and facilities people might not feel the need to fuck off 10 minutes early to dodge the queues then traffic

won’t be straight forward but other clubs would help with that push as ultimately gonna increase capacity at little cost, and the other points very valid but needed anyway at the sol, if the concourse was extended you could create steps up to the back of the south for entry/exit

Nice to read some common sense from the club on a stadium extension. Make sure the long term demand is there then consider it.

Rather than following the advice of rtg and just extending because of one season ticket sell out in our entire history, or also more importantly for the many concerts we hold at the stadium, or even better just put 6,000 extra seats on the stadium (doesnt matter if used) just so we can extend our corporate offering.
