Anything is indeed possible. The problem is access and transport.
Is it PotG?

...and as TB said the small matters of cost and necessity.

Can just imagine the quote on Talksport
''Well Matey, I heard that Brighton can literally have an extra tier in their stadium. Fantastic. Or it might have been that the players shed a tear because they got promoted. Unfortunately, I keep kicking myself in the foot here. Pass me that bottle of Hendricks''

I thought the main reason we couldn't extend is because of the safety element?

30k is plenty.

Oooh, wasn't it?
Possibly need a Fulham style neutral area where families or even individual fans with split loyalties can cheer ALL of the goals.

Why on earth would anyone listen to what convicted drunk driver and Albion non-expert Ray Wilkins says? About anything?
Another tier

Another beer?

Absolute rubbish. You can't double the capacity on the same footprint. As well as building upwards you would have to build out.
As most people have said, we don't need anything bigger.

Don't agree with those who think it's big enough. I do agree that it cannot be significantly expanded though. I think in hindsight 35k would've been better but hey ho...
Yes, in an ideal world the north stand would have an upper tier.
However, anyone moaning at this is the sort of person who if they won £100,000 in a free prize draw - would then whinge that they had to go to the bank to pay in a cheque rather than have it done electronically.
It's a 30,750 capacity - about 1,500 short of the Southampton, Derby and Leicester identikit stadia, but 3-4,000 more than Stoke and Forest. It doesn't really make any difference. That'll do me.
Can't see it ever being financially viable. Unless the Sky golden goose stops laying it's eggs (which is a possibility but not any time soon) then gate receipts aren't really relevant to financial security in the PL.
It's only worthwhile for the big boys who are trying to max out already huge income, and even then, only just (future proofing re tv income notwithstanding).
Not gonna happen.

Also Heard on Talksport this morning. Quote Simon Jordan...
"shoot for the moon, and you hit the stars"

Shoot for the moon...But if it doesn't work, just go into administration AGAIN......That's what he probably meant!

Wasn't it covered in that 'have a chat with TB' in a pub before the Brizzle game earlier in the season?
