A golden opportunity exists to maybe acquire the land adjacent to the chapel stand that was occupied by warehouse units destroyed by a fire. The freehold of the central trading estate is owned by Lasalle management, who purchased it from the original owners, the coal pension fund. I don’t see how any expansion can go ahead with the current layout unless surrounding land is acquired. |  | | |  |

Why would they need to buy land for any expansion ? The Chapel end has a large car park behind it so could easily do what Newcastle did and build over it .
Anyway I thought that any expansion would involve building and extra tier on the Kinsgland Stand , on the land they already own . Think I read this would add around 5000 extra seats but like everything now days this would be very expensive.
Let’s sell out every game this season , even when we are bottom of the league to see if there is the demand to have 5000 extra Saints fans week in week out . |  | | |

You not been to st marys recently then and how the footprint has shrunk due to the fanzone s. Thats why i said this current layout would not work. You would for example shift everything back and that would them allow for the chapel stand increase.
Incidentally due to crowd congestion the fencing around St Marys stadium might well have to be removed for safety reasons. It was somewhat chaotic against Forest pre match and it appears nobody at the club or council foresaw this safety issue. I hate to think what would happen in an emergency evacuation.

If I was the money man at SFC I would be looking to do a deal with the Council to get hold of the Itchen frontage land when Cemex and Co leave the aggregate wharves.
It will happen some day and I have a sneaky feeling that discussions may be ongoing. | | | |

There was a plot of land being sold opposite the megastore wharfside a couple of years back. I dont know what happened to that. But losing 200+ car spaces cant be good for staff on matchdays.

I said that the fencing would create a lot of congestion and the Forest game proved me right, if there was a genuine emergency at the stadium then I dread to think how it could be evacuated safely |  |

It’s my understanding that staff now park their cars at Ocean Village and are bused to the stadium. | |
