With all the development in or around the city. Along with new housing planned for the sheepfolds it wouldn’t surprise me if KLD & co are planning on both improving & extending the SoL.
Sunlun as a city is on the up, we need the SoL to continue being a focal point of this with all the great things happening! Of course, we need to establish ourselves as a top flight club first.

The football is almost secondary.
If the guys running the club want us to also be a first class events location too then they'll extend and put in more corporate regardless of what league we're in. The two aren't interlinked. The added capacity as a result of extending the corporate bits would be a bonus.
That would be mental!
I hope it's true.

Soon the SOL will be the only thing that lets the sheepfolds area down - needs to brought up to scratch inside and most definitely outside

I'd love to see some clever folk design some prototypes for a big fancy South Stand extension and what it could look like from the exterior.

Would this make the value of the owners shares more or less?
Additional long term debt and possibly maintenance costs against increased asset value and income generation.
If it happens they have to get the external appearance top drawer and to tie in with an east stand extension.

If it were to happen I’d want the south stand a single tier still.
this would take the stadium to 60k

Aye, can't be having that.
A lot of businesses run on debt in fairness.
Ok I’ll try again

Very true. We've still got debt too, unless those loans that were going to be converted to shares have been.

Rumour is he bought the steel for the south stand

Your last sentence being the key point that seems to be lost on more than a few

Thought this was a good effort posted previously by someone else to show what the fully extended stadium would look like
Would love to see it

No mate its not lost on a few ! my opinion is that at the moment there is no need to increase the stadiums capacity..but there is a caveat ..if were going to spend millions and making significant structural changes to the sol for corporate facilities it would be common sense to add extra seats in the process as it would only be a small part of the overall cost ,bring in revenue and make complete financial sense ...Now that key point is lost on many and not a few!I couldnt give a fek about empty seats and perceived lack of atmosphere .We need to be smart with our money and im confident our owners will spend their money wisely!

Love the idea of separate home and away tunnels. Be like the Roman colosseum.
