I've noticed a fair few questions on the Falmer Project Team thread asking about future expansion. This is a fairly pointless exercise as the club will not admit that further expansion has been catered for without massive structural alterations due to the hoops they have already had to jump through just to get permission for 22,500.
However it looks fairly obvious that the corners could be filled in, say 1,000 each and an upper tier on the East stand at about 3,000. So with a bit of good planning we could probably get up to about 30,000. Any further expansion would probably mean the removal of the entire roof as it basically holds itself up which I doubt I shall see in my lifetime.
Given the fact that we never once got a 30,000 plus crowd in the old Division One days this could well prove sufficient for our needs.
