The 17 BusJC If they do expand it will there also be an expansion in facilities, particularly catering which is still a huge joke
would that be the outside catering, which before the game, an hour to kick off had no queues whatsoever behind the North Stand?

Reading Abbey As a quick fix, how about filling in one of those corners?
Do we really need two of them?
Plus it could add about 100-250 seats in no time at all, but still an increase and we should be able to fill it.

Dirk Gently It's been proved many times that extra parking produces extra congestion - so expect even long queues to get in and out if more parking is provided. Personally, I just can't see that happening.
Other new grounds have much less parking provision, so I can see a much greater use of park and ride schemes and public transport provision. Rightly or wrongly, that's the way most local authorities are going these days, and RBC will be no different.

The biggest problem with congestion, both for cars and pedestrians is the fact that there are only two routes to get away from the Madstad - and they both take you to the same place.
I can't think of many other "new" stadia where the ground is hemmed-in so much.

Might mean we wouldn't be able to host concerts or other large events at the stadium as how would they get the stage equipment into the ground?
