North Stand Expansion

[GaudinoMotors]

If you had a restaurant that was full every Friday, Saturday and Sunday and half full in the week would you shelve any plans to extend the number of covers because you couldn’t fill it on a Monday?

They’ve got 55k season ticket holders and priced quite well in order to get them sold. They don’t actually have to sell many tickets on a match day when you take out the 3k away allocation.

and wasting time when we have the pep era and the success and trophies we have won?? It should have been started during Covid to be honest and built up the fan base under this unbelievable period at our football club.

It’s completely on point. Just because we can’t fill the stadium every game doesn’t mean we shouldn’t expand.

I’m hoping redevelopment will start at the end of the 2023/24 season.

The arena opens in December 2023, so the redevelopment won’t start until that opens, and has been running for a few months, and until the season is over.

In the grand scheme of things it isn’t a huge outlay. City are revamping City Square atm. That will see City Square through to the start of the North Stand redevelopment. That whole area will have to be cleared and fenced off for the redevelopment of the North Stand to start.

Why does it have to sell out? If it sells out it is too small.

The champions league prices are fixed long before the importance of the game is known. If you start discounting below what the cup schemers pay, then there will be a big drop off in cup schemers. I know it happens with student tickets at the moment but it is not made public by the club or open to anybody.
