Without a doubt. Wasn't the rumour that when they bought the club they wanted to build from scratch, but Sport England wouldn't agree as the funding had come via them for the initial build? Worried about the backlash I'd guess if true.I suspect that given the chance we would build an entirely new stadium
I've seen this viewpoint previously and I just don't get it. The stadium stands out as it is and once the other 3 stands are extended and the roof replaced it's going to look fantastic. That's without considering any exterior wrap put in place....
It would take some proper major work to achieve the best stadium in the world where we are now. Newer builds are decades ahead of us in terms of their aesthetics. But with engineering and architecture, anything is possible.
By family stand I guess you mean the North stand? I think plenty have had that previously but from memory they no longer bother. Perhaps due to the plans to expand, they'll sort everyone one out in one go when it's finished.I just wondered if anyone else has been contacted by the club regarding moving from the family stand when there kids are no longer juniors? For me it was 4 seasons ago saying that I would have to move out of the family stand 2nd tier as my lad was no longer a junior, he would be 21.They explained there intention was to put all juniors and families into the 2nd tier of the family stand eventually.

Off topic.
In town today doing my city centre monthly construction roundup. (won't get around the whole of the city centre) Not done one for months. Unbelievable amount of construction going on. I'll post the pictures over the next 2 days on SSC-MCR, if anyone is interested?
I noticed a lot last season how much rain was leaking through the roof all around the older roof structure around the stadium.Was on the stadium tour today and they didn't let us go pitch side due to an 'emergency'. Apparently something to do with the roof girders. I also noticed some white covering on some seats in CBL1 and something hanging down from the roof but I couldn't really see what it was. When they were showing us the radio boxes I even heard some drilling. There was lots of builders walking around as well.
