5 live just now - Stadium Increase

Re: 5 live just now.

We can get another 10 thousand by digging down, plus 12,000 at each end.

So 34000 on top of what we have now.

82,000 capacity is what I have heard......approx, cos maths is not my best subject

without installing contiguous piles all the away around the stadium, i am pretty certain the water table prevents that from happening.

We could get about a million seats underground if we tap into the old mines

right below, are you sure? the spiral staircases will have piled foundaitons down to stable soil strata or bedrock. how would that work with a mine below it?

Re: 5 live just now.

Expanding stands would mean we would have a reduced capacity for a specified time. Digging down would mean we would have to play elsewhere till it was completed.
