When was it he said this? I remember the club being quite cagey about expansion, focusing instead on the attendance boost safe standing might be able to bring with further regulation changes.

If it's the same occasion that I am thinking about, he was asked about it at a meeting with the Shareholder's Association, possibly a year or more ago. He was actually asked about safe-standing, and what the increase in capacity would be due to any increased ratio in the future. I asked the question because I wanted to know why they'd only gone for 750mm treads in these areas (when I think originally they'd been shown as 800 or 850mm). He said that he didn't believe that there would ever be an increased ratio, and that future capacity increases would be most achievable on the side stands. I don't know whether this was just his personal gut feeling, or based on information he was privy to following case-studies carried out on the few safe-standing sections in the country. Or it may have been a quick reaction to my questioning of the smaller 750mm treads, which he possibly thought was a criticism.
I was working away otherwise I'd have taken four tickets
Good luck with your Dad mateView attachment 275292
Stopped by for a gawp today, on way to see my arl fella, he's having dementia tests tomorrow and may not get to get inside
He loves how it looks though.
Not been up myself for a month or so, she is a thing of beauty...
....hope I haven't misgendered tho
Gotta laugh through the tough times.
I think I remember it being early last year on an interview or podcast that Colin answered the question around expansion and safe standing. Dan meis also said that the concourses are built for additional numbers in the event of safe standing or expansion.
Yes I think you are correct, might been somewhere eles said that if we wanted to keep the aesthetics all four sides would need lifting. I would have liked the land behind south stand, which would have allowed to build an impressive blue wall.
The north stand as you say is good option, utilities company seem to have spare land we could adopt.

They draw support from wider Yorkshire as well due to the paucity of "big" football clubs.

Well that feels like an overreaction. You must be difficult to please.
Is that why you use all the exclamation marks? Full stop just not doing it for you?
Appreciate that design/taste is subjective, but I'd be interested to hear which grounds you think are good. Seeing as you've been to so many.
Been presented with several offers for the naming rights according to Kenyon.
At least a ten year deal as well when they announce the successful bidder. At least that’s what it reads like in the programme notes from Saturday.
You'd imagine TFG will want a say in any deal especially giving the potential longevity of it.
Can't say I trust Kenyon to get the best deal for the club if am honest,I'd rather while until TFG where in situ.

Parkhead - lol have you even been?
3 stands of cold concrete and a main stand with loads of restricted views from pillars.
It generates an atmosphere for Europe but its as basic as they come.
