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

With the amount of money we should have banked from multiple Premier League seasons there’s no reason this couldn’t already have been funded.

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

Have they not been working on plans for the past four(+) years now? Feels like they say this every year..

It's about safe standing not hugh ground redevelopment 

[Capt. Pants 4,277]

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.

Dissapointing then if it's that how big a development they make it sound. Imagine it was an expansion it would never be finished by the time the Pharoah needed it.

Cologne Cathedral needed a, oh, five-hundred year gap. And Sagrada Familia still isn't bloody finished.

[essex canary 506]

We are Sagrada Familia Mark 2.

More chance of seeing us in the Champions League and ground expansion 

If we have a similar to last season then 18000 crowds will be norm

Liverpool are rebuilding their Anfield Rd end while it is still being used , I guess we're looking at a similar scenario with the City Stand.

Yeah! And fix the economy, NHS and the education system next week too. 🤬

Safe standing doesn't increase capacity, just replaces seating with standing. Why would they be working with the Liverpool architects if it were just about safe standing?

Well call me cynical but I don't think any current hierarchy at NCFC will be putting their clenched hands into their tardis type. wallets, pockets and akin to fort knox purses....to in anyway assist in funding the proposed new City Stand's future construction....

They'll maybe though as they have probably done for the last 15 years or so....discuss it at halftime as they spit crumbs at each other whilst minimum wage earning forelock tuggin' subservient waiting staff massage their superiors throats as they force foie gras style the gargantuan amounts of complimentary hor d'oeuvres, nibbles and finger foods on offer....."Yom yom yom" An' all washed down with expensio tinto an' blanco Vino collapsio...."Burrrrrp!"....

Hope I'm wrong?....

Well that would mean the City Stand could be totally shut and would probably be the cheaper option 😉

Seriously though the club is going to have to find a way of a short term reduction in season tickets vs balancing revenue. 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.

[Midlands Yellow 4,079]

Delia and Mickey’s legacy? Sell up and have their favourite vantage point redeveloped as the final act. The Yanks don’t have to profit, just create new shares to a cats home or give them to Essex.

No, you’re bang on.

I said during COVID let's sell max and redevelop the south stand , now Max's value has dropped big time and building costs have gone thru the roof , we missed a golden opportunity no fans for a long time at carrow road , such a shame

Maybe. If they hadn't recruited some of the others and have avoided paying salaries to them it may have helped better.

We will see, Carter's are probably reading the plans already lol

Could have been the Cantwell and Aarons stand. £60m was the minimum asking price for the pair back then. 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.
