Does anyone know if the design of the new Gate has the potential for an increase in a capacity from the 27,000 or is that the absolute max?

Landsdown junior aluded that we may be able to increase if needeed. If safe standing is made legal then the capacity will be just under 30k. Ample imo.

When has the club said that? League position and the prospects for promotion (or even relegation) have no bearing on the need to build or redevelop. They will want to get something going regardless of current form on the pitch.

It was an interview earlier this year with sl or one of the board I think. I think you've misunderstood my point, what i mean is the club are keen to start as soon as possible, even in this season, but they wouldn't have done had we been up the top of the league needing a full capacity (for the big games of course). Now that is looking unlikely the work will most probably start at the beginning of the new year, as the post reports.

2nd rate stadium that doesn't do anyone any favours.

Have you seen the plans in detail? it certainly doesn't look second rate to me.

Totally agree with what Stockhausen says above, get on and build the thing.

Second that! The club has said if we are in with a very slim chance of getting promotion (which lets face it we are) they start work asap to get it finished asap. Good news imo, will give the club a new impetus once finished-exciting times to be a city fan, once things are turned round fully on the pitch I fully believe we will be a clube (as a whole) on the up again.

I think hes just being honest, as usual. Preparing the fans for the worst. I was saying this the other day that he will be gone in jan if he carries on, its not unreasonable to start preparing for it now and drawing up suitable replacements isit?!

Thats the best we can put out fair play to him. Pearson and elliot did well against watfotd. Lets have more of the same today

Looks like halford could be up for grabs then? surely we could get him at a bargain price would be the kind of defender we are looking for.

Miller did look good and i thought lita was lively in the first half , but as we've said many times before thats no good with ##** all service. Tinnion was #### time to give him a rest , today showed how much we miss aaron and tommy.
