What is the latest on that as it seems to have gone very quiet

This could work, although we would need a new home for the press room used for live TV games.
Although it's clearly a long shot, I wonder how many seats a 2nd tier to the north or an expanded north lower tier could add?

Could we not put a tier on one of those underused hills around the ground?

After 5 years in the premium we must be looking at pushing for top 6 We will need 40k+ seats. It looks like TB might have taken us as far as he can,time to start looking for some world money for the big push.To stand still is to go backwards!!
Think they're a little busy dealing with Ikea at the moment. I don't know but I guess they might come back to it once that is dealt with.
But huge cost of any expansion scheme, would have to be met by new owners or shareholders.
The club have already told us that PL money will be partly used to start repaying TB's loan. So next time, there will have to be a new sugardaddy to finance infrastructure,
The rest of the PL money will go on transfer fees, player wages and agents!

Oh go on then, you've convinced me, I'll chuck in a couple of quid.
The arches and roof would have to be demolished for that. The space and angle under the current NS roof couldn't accomodate a NS expansion.
Shame. A Kop holding double the number of more of the more vociferous fans could generate some atmosphere.
Just think how many different songs we could have going at any one time!

Six games in this will not be necessary.

Yeah I agree (as with Palace fans) the new stadium build will wear off.
Mainly about young seagulls using their phone torches.
I probably shouldn't bring this idea to the attention of Barber-out.

Edmonton Oilers’ controversial concourse playoff tickets
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/pass-f...sial-concourse-playoff-tickets-142514697.html
The Edmonton Oilers played their first playoff game in over 10 years on Wednesday night, losing in overtime to the San Jose Sharks in Game 1 of their Pacific Division semifinal.
It’s been a while since they tasted the sweet nectar of playoff revenue, and clearly the Oilers wanted to chug it while they can. So after selling every seat in the arena, Edmonton decided to try something rather novel and totally craven:
Selling $80 “concourse passes” to fans, so they can enter the arena and stand for three hours and buy overpriced concessions and watch the games on giant televisions while hearing the ambient sound of the game.

You can bet your bottom $ that despotic Barber has plans for something similar next season. Any chance to rob the hard up fan base. Barber out.

I'm sure there must be people on here that realise we have actually SOLD OUT every season ticket for months now, and the reason we are not actually getting 30,750, is because the opposition don't actually have enough away support. There are actually more then 30,750 Albion fans who want to see the game every week even BEFORE we reached premier league.

I'm rubbing shoulders now, can't see that happening. what they could do is actually move the wheelchairs to a better area, they are all over the place, I see about 6 wheelchairs occupying enough space for around 15-20 seats.
