I thought this might of been the first slight dip but sounds like we will be over 53k which is fantastic. What kind of numbers do you think we need to maintain to push the next phase forward? Or has that decision already been made do you think?
I'm guessing they will be announcing plans early next year. I definitely think the contractors will be in by June, leading to an opening of the north stand in the 17/18 season. I'm not itk, but I can't see us waiting around.
They could still hold events next summer, it would be the summer after they would need to keep free.If it's to be ready for 17/18 they'd have to start early 2016. A lot of the enabling works for the South Stand started February 2014 from what I remember.
I'm sure someone said the stadium was housing some events next summer and if that's the case, we're looking at it being ready for 18/19.
