Priorities first improvements at BP.
Expand if possible the Main stand
Then a new ground is a future priority (IMO)
In time I hate the word Stadium so American I do prefer Football Ground.
OK Hear me out come 2035 - 2050
Where would I plan to put a new ground let me put my body armour on and helmet!!
CAISTOR TOP Area past the little Chef ..Why global warming the sealevel rising etc.
I saw on a website sealevels rise and we loose so many football clubs.
There you go
AND IF we did something to the Main Stand then i would pay to have wood to make a fireplace surround from the heart and soul of BP!!
Here endth the lesson IMO
UTM See ya tomorrow.

If they've ruled out a new stadium then I'd bet my bottom dollar that Andrew has formulated a plan

Overshadowing the houses behind likely to be an issue if you start trying to greatly extend most of the stands.

Its a pity that the design of the Findus is (relatively) dated already. If that was able to extend across a little further and be more of a modern two-decker affair, I'd imagine a lot more seating could be installed. The other problem, of course, is that we even if we could work out a plan to extend some of the stands, it would mean even lower capacity during the construction period. It's not as though we could be like Spurs and play at a suitably sized stadium nearby whilst rebuilding was taking place.

At this moment in time, I'm thinking about tomorrow. At another time in the future, I'll think about increasing the capacity at BP.

But for now, all I can think of are the quarter finals and dream of a semi final place.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Get the Chinese on that one. If they can knock up a hospital in days Im sure a football ground would be a 'little job' for them

Buy up all the houses along harrington Street that back on to BP, torch the main stand and build a new big stand in the same vein as the Findus, maybe even as big as to go over Harrington Street with a vehicle tunnel underneath. That could add many thousand seats.

A few points to consider.

If we were to build a new stadium somewhere else, what should the capacity be to start with and what should it's potential capacity be?

If we were to expand BP as much as we possibly could, what could the capacity be?

How much would each of those options cost the club, taking away any grants/other means of funding?
