The model that is being proposed in England has one standing space for every seat. Some other systems allow up to 1.5 standers per seat as Voll said.

EnglishOxide Posted 24 June 2017 Share Posted 24 June 2017 I suspect it will be 6k on top of the east stand plus boxes, and then 2k a piece on top of the south and north stands. More if the capacity is expected to be higher than 42k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be much more expensive to have three stands extended rather than just the east stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 24 June 2017 Share Posted 24 June 2017 I doubt the Family Stand would be expanded, as any expansion of it would leave the stand quite dangerously close to the road (from fans about to enter and exiting the stand, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 24 June 2017 Share Posted 24 June 2017 They'd have to buy Bristol St Motors to stand any chance of moving the road, Even the East Stand will b tight if the haven't got hold of the National Grid building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Posted 24 June 2017 Share Posted 24 June 2017 Reckon we could build underground to help with entrances/exits if the road being close to the expansion was an issue, as Newcastle have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those with 40,000+ stadiums who plan to be a permanent fixture in the league and those with sub 40,000 who are hanging around until there time is up. Like newcastle utd and sunderland you mean?

Here's a list of PL teams with stadiums smaller than ours: Bournemouth Brighton Burnley Crystal Palace Huddersfield Stoke Swansea Watford West Brom All of those clubs you would expect to be probably relegated in the next decade. Whilst stadium size isn't the be all and end all there is a correlation between attendances and success in professional football. For £25m it's a no brainer considering we would probably fill it and £25m only buys you a decent player nowadays. A bigger stadium and attendances isn't just a financial or vanity thing as 10,000 extra fans per season isn't that significant in revenue but it does put the club on a status of next level which can increase sponsorship deals and a perceived bigger standing in the game. I think it's important we try and compete with the West Ham, Newcastle, Everton type clubs long term which are clubs you would expect to bed themselves in as top half clubs or mid table at worst.

Huddersfield, Swansea and Watford yes. The others have serious money and some are established premiership teams who have the cash flow and money in the rainy day fund to stave off the threat of relegation.

Well if only "Huddersfield, Swansea and Watford" are in danger of relegation which of the teams with bigger stadiums than us are going to get relegated in the near future?
