I think club need to get other revenue into club other than match days to be sustainable, away allocations could be bigger too. Aslong as lower bowl is filled, would look ok

FFS can we get real, the club is not going to spend tens of millions of pounds on expending the ground for it to be possibly used once or twice a year for a concert.

Jesus man they won't even spend 15 grand on a net.

People on here just getting ahead of themselves as we've basically sold out for the last game. But if/when we are in the prem again. I think it would make sense to extend to 55k if we have successful seasons and are filling what we have. But it would be daft to extend now. You are right

The current ownership would only even half consider it if every single game in a season was selling out and there was a loud demand from folk unable to get in consistently.

Factor in construction and materials prices these days. People forget how ridiculously cheap the stadium (and the north upper extension, relatively speaking) got done for. It's not the mid 90s anymore and we don't have the huge FA grants which were used to help finance the building of the SOL.

I'm not convinced we'd get numbers in the prem as big as some are thinking (sell outs every game).

There would have to be a very strong business case for it is all I'm saying.
