With the investment we've seen in all the other facilities, the Stadium is probably on the owners 'to-do' list. I think they still hold planning permission for making the east stand a double decker - but we need to be careful. If we expand, we'll probably be at around the 40,000 mark. Clubs like Villa have consistently struggled to get those kinds of attendances, so there's a serious question about our ability to given that we're pulling on a smaller catchment area/population size.
If you want to see a good example of it going horribly wrong, head over to Cardiff where they built a second tier on the main stand which I think I'm right in saying has never been used.
Make the kop a double decker with safe standing on the bottom - all charged at sensible prices.
I didn't think the government were the ones against it?
The more plastics we can get in, the better
Make the kop a double decker
The government will not change its position unless pressed upon by teams in the top flight with the money to make it happen. There's nothing preventing the club for drawing up plans to make it so.Given that the Government is so against this, I don't see it happening anytime soon.
It's not just the plastics. It seems to me that many of them already have season tickets and it's the City faithful who can only attend occasional matches who are having trouble getting tickets.
Part time Petes and fans of armchairs then?
I was thinking more of people who live at the other end of the country and who can no longer make the journey every week.
Why not buy a gold and silver membership? It's only 40 or so and tickets have been available for every home game at that level ????
I expect the only games I'll be able to get to this season will be the away games at Sunderland and Newcastle. I've never had a problem buying tickets for those games in the home areas.
