You heard it here first over a year agoI just did the stadium tour and the sky walk and it was great fun. Would highly recommend.
Whilst on the tour one of the tour guides said the club were going to open a bar/nightclub in the glass boxes under the roof of the north stand and a go kart arena under the south stand. Not sure if common knowledge but thought I'd share nonetheless

Honestly, the short answer is no. In terms of adding 5k-10k seats to the ground.Read that we have a season ticket waiting list of around 100k. Even if just 15k or 25k are genuine, as you automatically get added to the ST list when becoming a member, that is pretty impressive.
Provided transport links have capacity, which is the only constraint I can think of, could we expand the ground moving forward?
I know we can turn the second tier in the north stand into corporate, stated as future proofing in the section drawings for the original permission, but wondered how if it all we could expand. Its not a priority and to be honest can wait some time but would be interesting to know.

Just an aside on my experience I'm a season ticket holder in the Park Lane and three times this season I've had to miss a game, Brighton was one of them, and so I put my ticket up on the exchange and each time they were gone in less than an hour, actually I received the email confirmation in less than an hour so they may have gone even sooner.
I get the impression most people who want to go can get a ticket at some games through the season.
You may be right about the popular spot I'm in 252.Same, my wife woke up unwell saturday. So put my 2x tickets up for sale at 7am, got confirm they’d sold by 9.30…second time I’ve used it this season at late notice and both times they’ve sold. I’m block 251 standing, so a popular spot too
The trumpet’s a joke, ain’t it? If it’s part of the “Ultras” proposal it’s a send up.Well the atmosphere is bound to improve tenfold next season when the trumpet comes in.
Of all the reasons I have to take a pop at the club right now, this has jumped right to the top of my list, a fucking trumpet in the crowd for god sake. I'd be cancelling my season ticket on this basis alone.
