I am probably being a bit stupid, but can't quite see how they can expand the stadium as it is with it being a Bowl rather than four separate stands... Ive got an inkling we are going underground and playing on a glass pitch , but alas, ive been wrong before. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livid Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 Great news and needed but just a little anxious, I still remember how moving to the Walkers was coupled with relegation and admin. Hopefully we have a decent summer and kick on as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 (edited) Exciting times ahead, what with the new training complex as well. It will be interesting to see how the developments shape out. Edited 6 April 2018 by CityFan 06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 If we want to grow as a club then we need to do this. If Brighton can go from having 7k crowds to 25k in less than a decade then we can get 37-40k too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was more to do with going from MON to Taylor, of course you're onlyas good as your current/last manager and there's always a risk we could mess it up by the time the stadium is ready - see WBA, possibly Southampton and Stoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure many have seen smaller crowds. Baffling that some don't realise better facilities, more availability, and a high level of football can bring about growth. But people can't look past one or two years. These things are measured over decades. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlesborough game back in the championship a few years back, a Friday night on Sky with torrential snow and ice making getting in almost impossible, was a small gate there i remember.

Oh and we got promoted that season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a lot more fans who are in the position of “I’ve been trying to get a season ticket for the last 3 seasons” than “fans getting bored with mid table” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, Soulsby is already planning to halve the capacity of Narborough Road from Fulhurst Avenue to Upperton Road to extend the bus lane. That should help things out - oh no, wait not "help", what's that other word - totally **** it up - yes that's it. Pre match it will jam all the way from Upperton Road, to Braunstone Lane crossroads, where it will meet the existing standing traffic at those lights, make it worse, jam back to Fosse Park, and maybe back out onto the motorway and outer ring road too. ****ing genius.

Great Boos Up Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 Fantastic! Our owners are great. This will be looked into properly with all aspects catered for, not just numbers. Safe standing, improved press and hospitality areas, and a family stand that actually has families in it and a more impressive façade. It's their brand and they won't skimp on it. Anyone moans about the extra traffic can do one; it wont just be a bolt on of an extra 10K of seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southfox66 Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 (edited) Add another bank of seating all around the ground to make capacity up to 40000, offer existing members the chance of season ticket, scrap the membership scheme and basically if you aint a season ticket will be paying inflated prices for a seat in the highest part of the ground, they been ripping members off for years, so time to pick on someone else.
