Not shooting you mate but I'm pretty sure permission is in place

It is but I suppose it's just about confirming dates for work to begin.

What happened to the single stand, wall of noise idea?

Any update on when the North Stand is set to be expanded? I thought it was this summer but that is obviously not the case.

How are we doing in terms of a waiting list for season tickets? That would probably be the best indicator of when the expansion would go ahead.

Problem with that waiting list is the majority are waiting for the £299 season cards. When it gets to their turn and it's £600 they turn it down.

I can't see it being started until next summer after 2 full seasons of gate receipts to see if it is viable.

Everything is pointing to next summer.

Sure there'll be another load of STs that pay cheap only turn up for big games.

But its about firstly the long term, planning two years ahead. Secondly about the games we sell out when we could fill 65000.

There's no rule to say you have to sell out every week, Barcelona don't. And don't forget stadium cash is free of ffp, so it needn't pay for itself too quickly.

Beat me to it. The bigger the stadium, the better. In every aspect from ticket sales through to increased revenue to simply having the biggest and best stadium
