When will that start? I think I heard that the work could begin as late as May in preparation for next season

Yes - waiting for some sort of story to come out of the club. Really excited for everything, infrastructure- wise, that is going to be happening this summer.

Should keep the forum busy at least!

Judging by the past few attendances the interest is there.

The corporate hospitality/advertising revenue should rocket next season also.

The rugby fraternity will be fearful of ongoing success for sure, in terms of grassroots player development and loss of sponsorships. The Blues have been a busted flush for a while now on the field.

I know there was talk before but are we sure it is happening this summer, or like Swansea are they going to wait to see if we can stay up before expanding?

they ought to do some minor works during the summer to fit an extra couple thousand or so in, cant see them putting in new tiers yet.

thought vinnie was waiting to see if we could stay up for a season before expanding

I'm sure there was going to be a few more seats added but only 1 or 2 k by all accounts.

1 Thing they should fix is the Internet signal down there,nobody around me can get a Internet signal on there phone during the game to find out the live scores elsewhere.

DrewBlue · DrewBlue Thu Apr 18, 2013 12:28 am

kate and dave i suspect your are right, probably even 2 seasons tbf.

welshfella, that happens cos so many phones are trying to get a signal in the same place it gets disrupted. could be solved if the club charged the network to put a mast on the roof... problem solved and revenue into the club... now about the chief executive position...

You got my vote Drew,

Btw I love your new Avatar welshfella - nicely done

DrewBlue · DrewBlue Thu Apr 18, 2013 3:40 am

haha awesome, ta

my first act as CEO would be to sort out the awful emergency exits in the corners of the stadium, they do not need to be that big! wasting valuable seating space

I have a feeling that Tan will crack on with the development... I know that the far east as a market is more financially important to Tan than local support in terms of income.... HOWEVER.... if you want to give the team the best chance of winning home games... And therefore longevity in the Cardiff's Prem League™ then cram another 15K loopy Bloobirds in the CCS and give the boys some vocal motivation to defy the odds...
