The city stand

[Forever Norwich 0]

do you think there should be a second tier built on it ?

[keyser Soze 0]

No.

Just money spent on the team please.

well.... it would be quite hard, as it would have to be taken down/shut off and that is where all the ''stuff'' happens.... and atm we don''t need more space, maybe if we look like getting into the prem again....

Yes we should increase the capacity of the stadium as soon as we can afford it. A 30,0000 seater will bring in average attendances of 27000 +.

I thought it already had the foundations in place to put the capacity up to 32,000 but we need to have a stable couple of seasons in PL.

Eventually yes (if and when we drag ourselves back to the top end of the Championship) but at the moment it would be completely unnecessary

Wasn''t the  Jarrold purpose  built with the option of adding a second tier? Don''t think now is the right time though.

Forget the jarrold stand build on the City stand and opposing teams would feel so intimidated due to its (don''t no how else to put it) but closeness to the pitch would really put somthing back into the phrase fortress Carrow Rd.All these new stadia most have such a distance from pitch to stand its embarassing.

That would be fine as long as they dont fill full of Smith appologist''s like the one''s in there now.

Think our stadium capacity is the least of our worries right now !

There will be eventually, if we spend a couple of years in the premiership, the same applies to the south stand which will be expanded after the city stand.

If a quality Project Manager (cough...Myself) was brought in that would not matter! I personally don''t think it would need to be anyway! I believe only the Jarrold (South) stand has already got foundations and not city Stand

The jarrold stand can not be expanded. There was an option at the time it was built which would have given us a 6000 seat stand which could have been increased. The 8,000 option does not easily allow later expansion. The City Stand can however be easily expanded with a second tier. It will require closing off of carrow road to allow the infrastructure to be built. This would not be a problem as long as the club can take over the ownership of the road. It would not be disruptive as it would be hung over the existing stand once the roof was removed.

As has been said many times before though it will not happen until we are an estabished Premiership team.

I''ve heard it said in our Prem season that the city stand was designed to have an extra tier, as someone else mentioned it would involve blocking off carrow road but there was already an agreement for that. However I seem to remember the agreement had a definite time limit on it in that the agreement held for so many years and in those years the club could do it and it would be done, but if the time limit expired then they would have to reapply for taking over Carrow road.

The City Stand (aka G. W stand) was built so that a second tier could be added later.

So does that mean if we did manage to become an established Premiership team and we decided to build another tier on top of the City stand we would have to play somewhere else whilst it was being built??????[:s]

He means the road boyo. Not the ground itself.

I think what jbghost meant was that Carrow ROAD, not as in the stadium, Carrow Road, which is to be closed.

Thanks Boyo… laughing with you not at you![:D]

Let''s get our priorities straight. Before we contemplate throwing money at a 2nd tier on the City and Jarrold stands for the supporters, let''s get a hotel built next to the corner flag........oh.
