Club are looking to extend the stadium

[Chop Sauce]

Concourses can’t even handle half a stadium. It’s dreadful at half time.

 

[Andyman]

Sounds unlikely, can’t even put a net up!

 

[Wayne The Punk]

I dont know if we will or we wont, but if its to take advantage of money from Euafa, if we get awarded it, why wouldnt we do it?

 

[Tuono]

wonder how easy it would be to get a retractable pitch installed

Impossible, the pitch is already about 25ft below the surrounding ground level.

Aw well, bang goes that idea

I've read some things on here but people genuinely discussing the SoL getting the CL final...

UEFA trough pigs turn up en masse for these games plus fans media technical types etc. iirc 30 miles radius is what UEFA consider. Half the 30 miles radius is under water remember. Sunderland it ant big enough.

Nevis Wembley was shut?

Where's nevis Wembley? Even if it was, there were plenty of grounds to choose from

Uefa panel meeting and on the agenda is selecting a club who've had a total of *checks notes* 2 European ties in their entire history to host the Champions League final.

Not sure the magedia would allow it in any case.

I don't think Queens Park have played in Europe either ,you plastic mag bellend!

What an absurd thread this is. People genuinely arguing that we need to extend the ground and others seemingly think we will fill it

Others want to knock the stadium down and rebuild. It's embarrassing all round.

We average about 9-10k empty seats this season. People don't half talk some pure drivel.

My comment was facetious so don’t twist it to suit your desire to deride people

Well it’s nice people have ambitions and are dreaming been along time since anyone did that

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

That looks canny

If we are going to get a chunk of money towards it, do it, it increases the value of the club

Will be vast numbers of empty seats every game though.

Dont open them if not required

Yes it’s all about luxury box’s in US stadiums….that model just started with Tottenham stadium then we will see Everton’s new stadium…..Sunderland will have to update to move forward….it’s not about seat count it’s luxury bring fans together with a full match day experience both for home and away supporters

Could extend and do that maybe with emphasis on luxury boxes over seats but..... did we sell all commercial boxes in PL?

Spa in the south stand upper

 

[dangermows]

That's so last year . We're going to move London up to to Sheepfolds.

Ah, hence the cigar lounge.

 

[MONTYMCPHAIL]

Loads of the clowns such as Reiver and others will be quoting him with

“Class mate. Cheers for the update Magnus mate. Owe you a pint “

Reiver - just think Dell

 

[AgnewsHorseshoe]

Seriously are you being real asking if I'm a mag

The stuff you are saying is the stuff they’d think we’d say to insult them. Sure they are gutted our youth team beat them as they go for a champions league place. Airport crack too seems very odd

 

[Joe Baker]

Hmm...spend 20/30 /40 million on extending a stadium we aren't filling and currently can't maintain to a reasonable standard.....interesting....

Perhaps any cash is better spent on the team at the moment

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Impossible, the pitch is already about 25ft below the surrounding ground level.

Couldn’t they build one above it?

As for the story, this is surely nonsense - stadium is the right size, almost exactly. Kudos to the original designers tbh.

Except that’s not what has happened. They’ve started so they don’t need to submit another application.
