New roof

Cost of buying the houses would be astronomical and would take a long time. It would only take one to sodomist up the whole project.
Totally  unworkable

Quoted from DB

If the previous regime had the foresight to do this, then we would be in an excellent position now to build a new stand.

There are around 20 houses along Harrington Street behind the ground, peoples homes, how would the previous or current regime go about buying these properties?
Some may be willing to Sell but i would guess the Mojority would sit tight and refuse.

Quoted from BlackandWhiteBarmy2

Any further back and it'll be hanging over the back gardens on Blundell Ave. and I doubt putting seats in the empty sections on the back row would yield any more than 50 seats.

I've always thought the only way to increase capacity would be to purchase the houses behind the Main Stand on Harrington Street, then demolish the Main Stand, despite it's history, demolish the houses and build a big new stand in their place.

The back rows would add 84 seats. I’m sad enough to have counted them

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

Maybe theyre reshaping it to improve the acoustics

Or strengthening it for 300 seats with a sea view

Buying up those houses around the ground gradually as they came up for sale would have been a sound policy if we'd started 30 odd years ago. They could have been rented for income whilst we slowly waited for enough land to make redevelopment feasible. But we didn't so hey ho, can't see it ever happening now imagine the state of the ground in 30 to 40 years time.

I know we say Blundell Park can't /won't last .

But if refurbished properly is that even true ?

Even the new builds require regular maintenance and repairs , and are pretty worn after 20 years +

We could always replicate the Scunts ground and build a new Main stand out of breeze blocks. Knock the old one down after a Saturday match. New one up by Wednesday at latest.

Easy

They are having a webasto style sun roof fitted so we can pull it back when the sun's shining and close it when it's pissing down.

84 seats is 84 seats , I assume there is a reason they are not there ?

The smaller gains would add up if they don't want to do anything substantial ATM .

That and the cage area in the corner would add 200-300 seats you would have thought , there is probably loads of cute ways you could add a number of seats in it's current footprint but it would take a massive reconfiguring of the seats and maximum usage of space .

Might be the cheapest option in the short term though , I'm sure it's something that has been looked at .

It’s always been like that but the mechanism broke after being redundant for so long
