Not enough space. The only place for a hotel would be in Tesco's car park or in the club car park off Dallam lane

like someone has said, the new capacity will be 15000. i THINK there is also plans in place to fill the other 2 corners in if crowds continue to rise over the next few years, which will take the capacity to 18,000 i think.

I think the next stage of development after the 2 corners will be a 2nd tier of hospitality effectively in the roof of the north stand as this is where they will get the biggest returns from the investment. (or so AG has mentioned previously anyway). When this will be though I have no idea.

Hopefully sooner rather than later, but I guess it depends on success on the field bringing more people into the stadium who want corporate facilities

Shame this wasn't already done for this season, the Saints game, Wigan cup game, cup semi-final and our league game later in the year could all get 15k.



Can't wait to see this finished. Will definantly stop the place looking like an IKEA stadium. It will be class.

Indeed.



Its great when you can be proud of something and call it your own.

Odemwingie......Ben Cross.





























Oh, you kill me. The way you tried to talk your way out of it as well.





























Sorry, we don't take anything you say seriously. Just a source of amusement for us. Backtracktastic.

From a fans point of view the next stage will be to fill in the NW corner (by the shop). The final corner would be the easiest to fill but that were all the media setup shop for the big games so they aint gonna like more mortal supporters pinching their butty wagon space.

For the SW corner they could have a cool looking media centre similar to Quins

Maybe they will and then they can move the TV from the gantry and make the south stand double decker

Think before they added a tier on they would just extend the terracing back above the concourse. Presumed it was designed to be easily expanded like this - fair enough it includes the expense of removing the roof but certianly easier than adding a tier. THe south stand would be brilliant if it went further back.

Pity they didn't make the south stand the same height as the west. It looks to be about 4 steps lower.



as for the north west corner-this would be ideal for away seated fans as we saw on Saturday, they were only allocated the end block of the north.



Will only be done if it is needed though.
