SOL expansion


They tend to stick to the 30-35k stadiums nowadays, not the 50k plus ones. I'll take it though, one for the daughter
Imagine the club staging Concerts and starting the extension next summer just to prove a point to the council :)

Some would lose far more of a percentage than we did. The mags lost over 10,000 while still in the premier league and had finished mid table the 2 seasons prior (their average historical position). If they got relegated and stayed out of the Premier League for 8 seasons 1,000s of the plastics would disappear over that time.

As for the cups, aye it's lost the magic due to the 2nd string teams put out as there's no money in it compared to Premier League. Even finishing 1 place higher in the PL is worth more than getting to the League Cup final. Though winning it being a route into Europe should still be an attraction for some clubs. Though again the extra games for the financial gain of the European games isn't as great as getting into the Champions League.
Cup games the away fans should be in the lower bowl and tickets only available for the lower bowl until sold out. Yes might put a few fans noses out who can’t get tickets in their season ticket seat but would create a much better atmosphere. The £10 pound tickets was a start!
 
if you're bringing world class players in like Xhaka, more fans coming through to watch. SOL expansion is the only way to make room for more eh. Anyway, our pitch look so impressive, so much quality to stand on. years ago it was awful, look like it was hard pitch, but now it is way better. Well done to KLD team.

For me personally, I would love to see an transport improvement access to SOL in and out. It was difficult to get out and stuck in a traffic. I arrived home (darlington) at times around 6-7pm. Its ridiculous.
Direct trains from Darlington would help
