Disturbing...
Reading
The Club have received planning permission to increase the capacity of the stadium to 38,000. This would involve further extending three sides of the stadium (the West Stand would remain as it is) and replacing the roof and would take around three years to complete. This would be achieved by first by increasing the size of the East Stand, adding around 7,000 additional seats. The following Summer the North Stand would be extended adding another 3,500 seats and a year later a similar construction would happen at the South end of the stadium. However, it is unclear when work will commence.

Torquay: living within their means or lacking ambition?
'The Club wish to replace the existing Main Stand with a new 1,750 capacity all-seater stand. It will include new dressing rooms, disabled facilities and a new press box. This will take Plainmoor�s capacity up to about 6,500'. Planning permission has now been approved and construction of the new stand may commence before the end of the 2010/11 season. Plans of the new stand can be viewed on the Torquay United website.

Report on local TV last night said that Wolves are about to start redeveloping Monlinuex. They will spend £70M in total with the first phase, of three, due to start at the end of the season. The main stand, which was built about 40 years ago, will be demolished and new facilities will be created but initially the capacity will only increase by 3000. The owner said this is a good time to do it because with the construction industry in a slack period it will cost less than if it was busy. The new plans look fairly impressive.

However, it is unclear when work will commence. Id say living within there means, however Southend going for a 22,000 all seater stadium surely over the top. They only average 5,173 this season. Also Rotherham going for a 15,000 all seater stadium when they only average 3,727 at home this season, there current stadium is awfull but a new one wont attract that many new fans?

Yeah but Rotherham are currently playing in Sheffield where as their new stadium will be in Rotherham city centre.

And their current stadium is an athletics track which i doubt is the kind of theing which will attract the casual home fan, aside from the journey to sheffield.

Let them waste their money on building a bigger ground they will never fill, as they fall back to their natural fourth division level they are not going to sell them seats are they. Another relegation and all of their "fans" will go back to supporting Chelsea anyway.

Any of the people who went up there in November will agree with me that it's a truly awful place to watch a game of football.

Southend have scaled down their plans to three sides initially. Bit tin-pot if you ask me.

Absolute madness for Southend to even consider moving to a new ground.

Plymouth Argyle The club have announced plans to re-develop the Grandstand side of the stadium, which will increase the capacity of Home Park to 27,000. It is hoped that work may commence at the end of the 2010/11 season. Must be viewed as complete and utter rubbish considering they have been docked points for going into adminstration.

I have a feeling their old one has already been sold from under their feet though. The buyers - Sainsbury or Tesco are putting money into the new ground?

My Rotherham-supporting mate showed me those last week. I told him not to read too much into those artist's impressions, they are obviously bollox. One of the pictures has blue sky in Yorkshire, and one of the people is smiling! Never happen.

Accrington are moving to a new stadium which will accommodate 2500 However they are considering reducing the size to 1750 due to lack of interest

Saw the new Brighton "Amex Community Stadium" yesterday - stunning! They deserve some luck though and are looking good for Championship football there next season.
