There are suggestions that the club are close to awarding contracts for construction of the hotel and residential developments behind the South Stand.

Hopefully, there will be an announcement of additional equity coming into the club to cover the costs. It will come as no surprise to anyone that the spec is extremely high and not a penny will be spared on achieving the desired results.

As long as this is totally funded by additional investment and doesn't impinge on the sporting side of the club, as the stadium development did, it's all good...but there's gonna be some terrible press...so, some upturn in 'on the pitch matters' wouldn't go amiss.
 
I read an article the other day that suggest the stadium is the third highest grossing sporting venue in the world. That's truly remarkable if this is true. I can't be sure of the veracity of the article and nor can I recall where I saw it!
