No because it isn't happening. Rumour mill going full whack to make 2+2 = 25

Re: Expansion
It's already been covered on here but the ground map is just out of scale as Nige said.

Re: Expansion
Morecambe would sell 900. Stockport maybe if they didn’t go up
Other than that for all the fuss teams fans make about the allocation they get that would probably be about it

Re: Expansion
The Trust update in February told us exactly what is proposed:
We talked through the proposal, roughly that means 500 covered seats in the East Terrace (Away) with the bar area reconfigured. The existing bar was built with the increase in numbers in mind so doesn’t need extending. Capacity will be around 950. There will be an area for away disabled fans including toilets.
On the West Terrace will be a covered stand of around 350 seats. It can’t go as deep because of positioning of toilets etc. Sight lines have been looked into as part of the design.
The Steelworks End has 200 seats in two rows. It will be uncovered but at least usable. This also includes a small number of elevated wheelchair spaces. Fan movement to bars etc does not appear to be affected.
..and, for the umpteenth time, the away end will have exactly the same footprint as it does now. No more of the Holker Street end is being surrendered.

Don't let the old man in.

Re: Expansion
Serious question - whatever became of Paul Casson’s Stadium plans that the supporters were going to vote on.

Sale sign is on the garage so someone has bought it

Did you miss the previous four posts about the ground being developed?

Re: Expansion
Swindon and Mansfield? Grimsby? If all were pushing for promotion. Notts County? If they're promoted?

Re: Expansion
I’m confused here.
My understanding is 350 seats to the left of the main stand and 500 to the right of the main stand. Is that correct for you lot in the know?

Re: Expansion
It amazes me where people think all this extra cash is coming from when talking about “ground developments”
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

I’m hearing they’re bringing back the legendary Bluebird Club with a new feature for these times Grab a Great Granny Night. Whatever next - the realisation of the Superdome?
