The popular South Stand will be expanded, with improved food offering, multi-pour drink dispensers and entertainment and atmosphere suited to this singing section.

Taken from the information on season tickets on the official website.

How do we think they will do that and how much expansion is expected? I can't imagine that over the summer they'd be able to add thousands of seats but you never know.
 
Brilliant! I hope they get all the multi pouring drink dispensing stuff right and don't just have, say, 2 multi pourers instead of the usual 8 taps or so.
 
Just sounds like the expansion is more facilities for you to spend your money in and not more seats,think people have got a wee bit confused

Yeah thats right. Maybe they are going to relocate the Away fans too?
 
It will just be that big room at the top wont it? like the one in the North Stand?

No.
 
The way I understood it last night was that the South Stand expansion just means including 110 and 111 as part of the South Stand, rather than the East Stand. There's no expansion as such, and the away fans definitely aren't moving.

Sorry for following you around Ric.

As Ric says, there will be no physical expansion of the stand or amount of seats.

The expansion relates to services, drinks, food etc. As stated by the OS site.

However, the club will be pushing a more vocal and colourful South Stand. I was lead to believe that funds will be set aside to create an 'identity for the South Stand and blocks 109/110/111'(?).

I menitoned about having a large bannner hung from the SS upper tier, similar to the third level banners. The club are looking into this and will consider it seriously.

This hasn't been confirmed by the club, but it's possible that they may be looking at forming a steering group of fans who will be asked to come up with ideas and themes to improve the atmosphere (and look) of the South Stand and blocks 109/110/11.

Don't shoot the messenger.
 
111 is South Stand anyway.

This could mean the prices get lower in the adjoining East Stand though.
