I thought it would be easier to ask @Pico on the other thread but i'm not at all sure the @ thing is working currently. Sooner of later it would be useful to know for sure what status the memorial garden has, but if someone in the club already knows and has documented that, good on them.

connect all the roofs up and the stadium would be unreal0 -

A two-second "consecrated ground" search on Google brings up the following;Consecrated ground refers to land or a space, such as a cemetery or churchyard, that has been officially blessed and dedicated to sacred use through a religious ceremony by a religious authority, making it suitable for religious rituals like Christian burials. This process imbues the land with religious significance, placing it under the jurisdiction of the Church and offering added protection and reassurance for families about the sanctity of the burial site.Key Aspects- Sacred Dedication:The core idea of consecrated ground is its dedication to God and sacred purposes through a formal, liturgical blessing.
- Religious Ceremony:A bishop or other religious authority performs a ceremony, often involving prayers, incense, and holy water, to consecrate the land.
- Church of England Law:The concept is particularly tied to Church of England law, which dictates the process and meaning of consecrating land for burial.
- Jurisdiction:Once consecrated, the land falls under the bishop's jurisdiction and, in the case of burial grounds, becomes subject to the faculty jurisdiction.
- Protection and Dignity:Consecration provides a greater degree of permanence and protection for a burial site, ensuring it is not disturbed without proper religious authorization, such as a faculty for exhumation.
- Common Use:It is most frequently associated with Christian burial sites, though the term can also apply to other sacred structures or locations.
- Secular Cemeteries:Even secular cemeteries often have portions that are consecrated to accommodate religious wishes for burials in holy ground.

What would be the possibility of us getting planning permission for a second tier?
What are the main obstacles/objections that would no doubt be raised and how serious would the likelihood of us getting the go ahead as a result of these objections?
I assume the Jimmy Seed would have little or no problems in getting the required permission…..as and when.0 -

27k will just mean we’d we would only be treading water until the season we get relegated again.
The JS needs a complete rebuild, including demolishing the banking it's currently sitting on, which wastes the space underneath it.
The Curbs has the complication of the sewer underneath it, but was a completely new construction, with a steep rake, and the flat concourse area near the back.1 -

So are you suggesting we don’t increase our capacity.
Where does the 40,000 come into the equation?The plan overwhelmingly agreeable and easily achievable would be to put a second tier on The Jimmy Seed but that would take us from the current 27,000 to the lower 30,000’s …..nothing like the 40,000 you are suggesting…..so I’m not sure what you are suggesting?
That could only be achieved by a second tier on The
Curbside, that’s the reason why I am interested in knowing peoples thoughts on the matter.
I am approaching my 78th birthday and I am living in hope that I will live long enough to see some significant extra capacity at my beloved Valley…..it means a lot to me and would make me feel very very proud. 🤞🤞🤞0 -

So many different opinions and posters with differing view points.
It’s most confusing if you ask me, I certainly can’t work out what’s factual.
So……is it viable or not?0 - Sponsored links:

sammy391 said:Think there's a recent article by Peter Varney (maybe in the SLP?) that confirmed that an extra tier on the AC wouldnt need the land that was sold behind the stand (landsdown mews). Thats before you even look at developing, enlarging and even adding a tier to the Jimmy Seed, which Roland had tried to look at (wasnt a hotel mooted there at that point?).
Filling in the corners are the most obvious step, if it was ever needed, but question would be where the big screen goes0 -
It's similar to St. James in that respect, they have 2 massive stands but can't develop the other 2 due to restrictions. Due to the nature of The Valley and the surrounding area you can probably build the JS almost as big as you want, and given the space behind the West Stand, I reckon that could also go bigger if absolutely needed, without the need for anything on the Curbside0

The JS needs a complete rebuild, including demolishing the banking it's currently sitting on, which wastes the space underneath it.
The Curbs has the complication of the sewer underneath it, but was a completely new construction, with a steep rake, and the flat concourse area near the back.
Compare a picture of Sam Bartram in front of the Covered End and the same view today, and you will see that the lower bank is identical - the entrances into the stand remain in exactly the same place. That part of the stand is as it was in the 1930s.
underneath the Curbs is the original bank. A wedge was cut in for the concourse, but it’s essentially the original (and amended) chalk cliff below.The Jimmy Seed is the original chalk cliff (albeit reshaped for terracing in the 20s).1 -
Let's just move to the O2 and get it over with.1

A pointless thread.
We won't be doing any stadium expansion until we own the freehold and there's no sign of that happening in the near future.6 -

The JS is just seats and a roof on banking. Hence the facilities are slightly inadequate buildings at the back of it, and entering and exiting the stand is quite slow. I would also wonder before expanding the stand how long that banking will last for.

Banking or no banking. Consecrated ground or no consecrated ground.

I have been delighted with most of the comments and there are certainly a whole host of interesting suggestions and opinions being made.
I realise I am banging on a bit but it’s a subject which I am very much interested in and close to my heart into the bargain.0 -

Hospitality is huge in the premier League. Which is to detriment of the atmosphere and the upper reaches of the sport in general.1

We definitely need to be ready to tap into that if and when we go up but if we maintain and improve on the crowds we've been getting so far in the Championship then we should be selling out the hospitality packages we have so far and already looking to expand capacity for them.0
