I hope I'm not speaking out of turn but it appears the South Stand would have to be closed for a while.

I'm starting to forget what I've been told in confidence and what's common knowledge <doh>

I know they did the north stand extension without closing the north stand but i guess there is going to be more major work shoeing in all the corporate stuff! I wonder how long it will have to close coz doesnt that mean some season ticket holders are going to miss out?Perhaps ask the prem to give us two or three away games at the end of next season and the beginning of the next to give them time to fix the structural stuff to allow fans to use the lower bowl?Have you heard if its on or not?

All I know is that it would have to close for a time.

It’s definitely going to happen but I don’t know when.

I’d like it to be the end of this season but I doubt that’s possible.

I don’t know a lot more than that tbh.

It’ll all come out sooner or late and I’m not likely to be told anything in advance.

All interesting though.

They wont be doing it this summer,nee proper application or detailed plans to council yet.So because of the tendering process and many other logistical roadblocks it will be next year at the earliest!,if at all!

I think they'll announce it when we get to 40 points and then build it next year as you say due to the planning process with some rescheduled away games. I think they can't wait as need to generate more funds through corporate. I think they need to do the east stand too though as that will work better for concerts.

Hopefully disruption kept to a minimum. However to make an omelette and all that…

I've been told today the boxes are going up by 20% for next season, people I know who have them are seriously considering giving them up, need to be careful not to alienate fans, I know you have to move with the times, this season was a £10k plus VAT hike.

That's a big hike like. Need to be smart how they do that. Better 10 then 10 next year, etc, but that might not get the money in fast enough.

You'd like to see some sort of loyalty bonus, but they've got to figure out how to bridge the funding gap if serious about competing long term.

If they think they can sell them to someone else at +20 then I suppose they will just do it. I think they will target corporate first, and go easier on normal tickets.

Just thinking, I may have missed it, but maybe the auto renew season tickets for next season which isn't happening is to prepare people to find new seats for a season, or however long its closed
