SoL To Undergo Multi-Million-Pound Investment Programme


making it somewhere decent you can have pint or two HT/pre or post match surely. If it’s about increasing revenue, trying to get an extra tenner out of everyone in an environment that’s good for everyone sticks £10m in the pot… I think! Concourse pace is the biggest issue for this as has been discussed a million times.

Looking at all the videos of pubs full of fans watching at the weekend , just thinking if we price it right now many of them would rather be in the ground

Wouldn't shock me if we announce the south stand extension when we are mathematically safe

Have they said what the extension would look like?

I hope they don't copy the North Stand exactly. I would prefer just one massive Stand and some hospitality above it. Would be iconic.

We are still at least a season away from any extension mate imo.

That’s a hugely ambitious figure. Getting a pint in a comfortable environment pre-match isn’t an issue. Not sure how to make it better.

Half time is different, but that’s your 15min window regardless, whether you’ve got more space, outside area, quicker serving etc. That’ll always be an issue, 15mins.

Also, them maths would mean I personally stick £30 a match more into the pot as I attend with two kids, when I also already get a pint easily enough at half time & if my personal timings fit, one before. Changing the set up would change my behaviours one bit.

Not to mention there's a lot of fans like me who won't spend a penny in the concourse even if it was plated in gold because we just don't want food / drinks in the ground, full stop.
