Xhaka's agent I think.

To be fair I think the guy showing them around is just telling them what it can be extended to, not "this is what we're doing". That was my take anyway!

Nothing conclusive with that video unfortunately.

Does he not also say current capacity is 49,000? Last season it was restricted to 46,500.

Not harping mate its a footy forum and you can shove your irritation where it belongs up your anal cleft!Bob mentioned kld's plans for the club (as he was shown the designs in his book and stated he was impressed)and that is the sum total of all we know on the subject!

We can add about 2k to our capacity by moving the away fans. I think you'll do that first.

How would you add 2K out of interest?

They could relax putting fans in the front section of the North upper this season, but you'll still have the segregation gap whether it's up stairs on in tbe lower tier?

Capacity was about 48,500, now it's about 46,500.

How's that? It must be at least 1800, even if you say 200 seats were lost in the press box move, as I've seen suggested.

You'd never get the full 48500 even if the away fans were downstairs

48,353 is the record attendance. So let's call it 1500 extra seats.

Not just because of away supporters though.

We lost more seats when moving the press / media box from the West Stand up into the Premier Concourse.

How many did that really lose? Let's call it 1500 seats and the point remains. They'll do that first.

Majority of the lost seats were when the corporate got redone and BCB seats were changed. Not to do with the away end. There is about 500 in the away end lost on at the front but that’s it

They could have away fans in the front of the North Stand and narrow the Segregation gap upstairs in the NW corner.

They'll not be moving the away fans any time soon.

They could, but what you're suggesting would be moving away fans. It'll definitely happen if we sell out regularly. It's a very cheap way of creating more seats to sell.
 
Im not understanding the segregation tbh looking at the stadium map it seems we could open up a couple more blocks in the NW upper, or atleast do that when a teams bringing a low away attendance.
