St Marys

It's all the way around except on the Itchen stand - that stand can't be expanded due to the weight already placed on the foundations by the corporate facilities and the offices.

Won't Ruperts ego no longer being present have taken some of the weight off?

[Paul Chuckle]

Can anyone confirm to me on here if we own the stadium or not? Skate I work with said we still don't own it and paying mortgage but I thought club was now debt free?

[Toadhall Saint]

Debt free - skate is on a wind up, just ask them how much debt they've got.

Debt free - soz bout my terrible info b4. i ran out of posts at the time to correct myself. i was told on a stadium tour a few years back that they would one day - when we're "rich" - would buy up all the land round st.mary's and build on it etc, but that could have just been 1 guy getting carried away for all i know.

 

i dont no where i got the 38,000 thing from but it was my impression only the itchen could be expanded cos that was there the most room was (that we owned). maybe the stadium wouldn't have to be expanded outwards much on the northam/kingsland/chappel sides and just upwards (installing stairs in the concorse or something)?? all ages away yet tho so i'll go back to sleep.

Perhaps not as far away as we think, we're yet to hear Mr Liebherr's views as far as I know but I'd imagine he's heard about Englands World Cup Bid.

 

There are other considerations such as the Southampton transport plan (what plan?) and in particular expanding that bridge to Old Northam Road.
