In answer to your question the club went public yesterday.

The South I think looks good, but the North is going to end up much more cramped for the benefit of a few hundred extra seats.

Both look good - any work to these stands is decades overdue.

Still trying to polish a turd then :roll:

A capacity of just over 20k and, from what I can see, no meaningful improvement in corporate facilities is hardly meeting the aim to make the club sustainable at Championship level.

None of this is new - it's what we were told.

The lower tier of the north stand is what they are going to build the upper tier with the extra capacity and corporate stuff on top of, as has been said before.

It'll never happen, and even if it does it'll still be a fudge.

In many ways I'd love us to build a new ground - but reality is where? The actual places we could maybe squeeze on in are crap in terms of getting to or pubs etc...

So it's sort out what we have, or flatten it!

All I'll say is if I ever win the Euromillions I'll happily donate 100m to a new ground. Unlikely I hear you all say... still more likely then getting one any other way :rofl

I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but I won't hold my breath waiting for proof.

As I've mentioned before, Tipnor would be my choice, but flattening FP and building a new stadium (and complimentary facilities) is a better solution than faffing around with 'remodelling' the existing relic. It can only ever be a compromise and I just happen to think the club, the city and the fans deserve better - much better.
