It's a great move in my opinion to do it in 2 stages.
That way we can see if there are enough bums to be put on seats before going gung-ho with a massive capacity increase.

Would look a bit odd with 1 side uneven, a bit like that Dublin arena

Fair play. You first said we were expanding the ground in the near future, and stuck to your guns.

That's because I have had the plans for well over a year. People on here will vouch for me as I PM'd them a while back.

Onwards and upwards and we now just await the release of the campus plans which will pale this news into insignificance.

3 tiers on the South Stand and no away fans there... it's time for a real singing section. :D

All helps towards increasing revenue towards FFP, makes the ground more attractive for potential sponsors (larger target audience) and helps promote our image as a big club

would we be able to have th champs league final at 60, 000 ?

It's a better idea to do it in stages like that.

the designs looks great, steep looking incline should create a good atmosphere!

I only knew of a timescale of 3-4 years from just over a year ago which fits in with 2015. The actual renders of the expanded stadium are impressive.

2015?

We're going to need an extra stand sooner than that just to accommodate Dismal Dave's ego.
