Future Developments
Craig Johnson informs me; 'The Club have announced that if they were to stay in the Premier League for the next two consecutive seasons, then they would look at possibly replacing the Geoffrey Watling City Stand, with a new 12,000 seat stand, raising the overall capacity of Carrow Road to 35,000. There is also still the option to add an additional tier to the Jarrold (South) Stand (the foundations are already in place) which would further raise the capacity of the ground to around 39,000'.

The pinkun article......I have some concerns over some of the McNally comments (NCFC) - usacanary, Oct 14, 22:56:17

  - So the Pinkun article is wrong when it states 10,000 instead of 12,000 (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Oct 15, 00:19:09
  - I suppose the money invloved now could eventually make adding to the South Stand worthwhil (NCFC) - Huge Small, Oct 15, 00:03:05
  - Also past Bowkett interview: (NCFC) - JD3, Oct 14, 23:42:48
- After today's accounts, I trust him with numbers. He knows his shizzle. (NCFC) - jafski, Oct 14, 23:11:20
  - I agree, I dont want to piss on the parade because obviously...... (NCFC) - usacanary, Oct 14, 23:27:06
    - That's the gamble which at some point you have to take. (NCFC) - jafski, Oct 14, 23:28:35
- Isn't the Jarrold designed to have a second tier added relatively easily (and cheaply)? (NCFC) - JD3, Oct 14, 23:04:39
  - No. Not from what i remember (NCFC) - Huge Small, Oct 14, 23:36:27
    - Ahaaa, so new City Stand it is then. It's too small as it stands. (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Oct 14, 23:38:48
      - City stand has the foundations of a much bigger capacity stand (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 14, 23:41:30
        
        Nope, already been mentioned that it has to come down witha complete rebuild (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Oct 15, 00:18:25
  - One other thing which is puzzling about the article (NCFC) - usacanary, Oct 14, 23:13:35
    - Also says 'the main focus' will be developing the City stand, implying expansion elsewhere (NCFC) - jafski, Oct 14, 23:16:29
      - If they can expand 2400 seats elsewhere........why not just add those only? (NCFC) - usacanary, Oct 14, 23:20:20
        
        If we did stick another 8000 seats on (NCFC) - Huge Small, Oct 14, 23:53:27
        
        Yep, surely an aim is to have one eye on making it accessible and affordable for future ge (NCFC) - Yellalee, Oct 14, 23:56:13
        
        You're over-analysing this and coming up with the wrong answer I fear. (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Oct 14, 23:25:09
        
        That's his specialty (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Oct 15, 06:24:25
        
        Like I said. You have to tip your hat to McNasty and trust him with the figures. (NCFC) - jafski, Oct 14, 23:23:16
