Branston Pickle 3,688 Posted June 26, 2023 Didn’t we pretty-much get this info last year from one of those club videos?  I can’t remember, but I’m sure there was something about having taken on architects and Liverpool being mentioned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real Buh 3,480 Posted June 26, 2023 Pie in the sky. it just can’t happen, maybe it’s best that it doesn’t. Carrow road and grounds like it are national treasures tbh. So many new emotionless grounds… Carrow Road should be allowed to age like a fine wine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,277 Posted June 26, 2023 Sounds more like a feasibility study. I'm not holding my breath and to be brutally honest I'm more concerned about what I see on the pitch right now. Maybe we'll wait for the next pandemic to come along and close the ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if someone were to fund the entire build the issue is where to find room for all the City Stand season ticket holders. The trouble is the stand is so small that you can't do much without having to close the whole lot.

The river end is thought of as the ‘Kevin Reeves Stand’ so we’ve been there before. I said something similar, possibly even before COVID hit. We had Aarons, Godfrey, Lewis, Cantwell and Buendia with a combined market value of £100-120m, and could easily have funded the rebuild by selling three, possibly four, of them and spending the bulk of it on taking the capacity to 33-35,000.
