Plenty of room to extend behind both goals if ever required

Where else these days have the crowds dwindled ? It wouldn't happen these days unless our fans truly believe our club is one on its own

Not without knocking down one of the stands first.

Not possible, this was a question that was asked at the time of construction, and the answer was a very firm no.
Something to do with the footings for the stands, and the high cost involved of creating a sub structure for future expansion that was unlikely to be needed.
Anyway, our stadium is already almost twice the size of Brenfords, and capacity has not held them back.

Been thinking about this. Sim City on sandbox mode style: extend over the rail line. Move the station into the stadium building and have bars/cafes there and by the canal. Extend the main stand up/back, could do the ends or up and over the exhibition hall I guess. I’d build a multi-story as well. I noticed the Johann Cryuff Arena has it all under the bowl which is quite cool.

Can it happen? Yes - with a lot of effort.
Will it happen in the next 20 years? No

I have no formal record of this but I'
m sure when it was built, there were comments that it had been designed to be extended and a tier added to the stand opposite the players entrance stand (sorry, have no idea its proper name!) probably wrong but worth trying to dig through the press stuff at the time maybe

If we get promoted and spend 3 years fighting relegation we will be down to averaging 25k at most.

you
It's likely you and 15000 others will forget about supporting us in a week. We need 30000 proper fans before we think about such a fucking stupid idea. Our training ground is the size of a tennis court and out ticket office is run by 2 people, but yeah - lets just spend 100 million on making a stadium we rent bigger - on the off chance we go up. Fucking hell, i miss the days when this forum wasn't full of dorks....

There's absolutely tons of tickets available. A mate of mine is trying to sell his for tomorrow and is struggling to get most his money back.

actually the design is capable of being extended by adding a cantilever second tier behind both goals. I read something a long time ago about the possibilty of extensions and it was a feasable thing.

What about safe standing , is that possible at the cbs ?

Correct. By the time the plans had been scaled down, we were into the territory of just get it up.

They increased the Rangers Ibrox capacity by lowering the pitch slightly in the 90s. I think this enabled some more rows at the front.
Maybe that’s possible without disrupting the stadium structure.

The CBS always has the feeling of a 3 stand stadium with the West stand being a mess of press and media sections.
Could the west stand be gutted out and more traditional banks of seating put in?

I think they're all prepping to burgle everybody's houses, the number of threads about where you're going from, when, and whether you're taking your car...

Worth stating that on the thread for fans looking for tickets, someone will snap them up!
Thread for those looking for final tickets
Thought I'd start a list of those looking for tickets, so it doesnt get lost in other threads. If people think this is a bad idea will remove, but we are all fans and would all like to see the team at Wembley. So I'll start the ball rolling and would be most appreciative of those willing to...

We have enough problem with the grass without sinking it even further into the earth.
I was looking at the stadium during the first leg game and thinking this would be only viable option.
Realistically don’t think it will ever be needed, especially when we’re renting. Capacity is about right for top end champ/low end prem and the city size. Investment could be made in infrastructure and match day experience though.

There’s plenty of room behind the East Stand for expansion.
If you added an upper tier it would sit over the area between the turnstiles and the road

We know that’s not true… you don’t have any mates
Wish I didn't because I wouldn't be trying to sell his ticket
