Much more likely in my eyes to do on either the East or West stands where they can make money off the prawn sandwich and corporate folk. I think only certain stands can be done as it's built a certain way already to accommodate. Not sure they can do family stand due to proximity to the road. More space the kop end.

ithuriel Posted 3 June 2017 Share Posted 3 June 2017 What I've heard down at the charity match today, which ended 3-3 between the police and stewards. They already have planning permission. 48,000 will be the capacity. There will be a perspex barrier constructed to seperate the away fans. If any want to argue with this, it is what I have heard and thought I'd put it in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 3 June 2017 Share Posted 3 June 2017 There's still no planning apps on the council website and even if there was I'm sure we'd have heard about any submitted plans. The may well have something attached to the original stadium app about the possibility of extending but even that would still require a formal application.

Might be a few empty seats after the initial rush of excitement at the expansion, but should be much easier to get tickets. Atmosphere could be excellent too with all that extra noise!

Just asked if anything new had been heard on the ground expansion. Heard it varying from 40,000 to 50,000 over a year ago but was told 48,000 without asking about the capacity. Apparently the barrier idea would help save on personnel costs. I did ask about the building next to the ground but heard nothing about that.

If we got it announced fairly soon it could influence potential signings for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less need for stewards to police those areas as heavily if there's a barrier separating fans already. I'm sure barriers are used like this quite often in Europe, although I can't for the life of me provide an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good thing to sell them on the club going places I suppose, but if players are willing to sign for clubs like Monaco then it suggests it's more about wages and opportunities to develop themselves/play at a higher level than the size of the fanbase.

I know peeps who work there, have done for years and they tell me stuff, a lot of it I do not post on here but this is what I've been told about the ground expansion after a very quick chat yesterday at the match.

Wages are not everything these days. Young players would rather play and live in monaco knowing they can move on to europes super clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleronnie Posted 4 June 2017 Share Posted 4 June 2017 Isn't there a law that limits the height of barriers inside stadiums these days? I doubt you'll see anything like the above pic inside an English stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if sensitive planning apps can be kept confidential until it's decided to go public. It's clear that the club cannot have received full planning permission to extend the ground but perhaps it's feasible that an application exists which has had tentative council approval re traffic etc etc but still requires to go to the local population for any objections.

I'm sure informal consultations can happen and even if what you suggest is true it wouldn't shorten the planning period as it's a defined procedure so other that preliminary consultations i can't really see the benefit in keeping it on the quiet.

Spudulike Posted 4 June 2017 Share Posted 4 June 2017 Barriers would have to be movable, wouldn't they, as currently the away corner shrinks and expands depending on demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
