CrashOverride Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Its normally announced and the end of your season. You loose some seats during period of the expansion so its done to minimize this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forestfan2k8 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 it will take until the end of the season to see if you get planning permission but normaly with chelsea the council block planning permission and they cants expand stamford bridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMonkeyMagic Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'm playing as Man City (yes I know, technically cheating) and have already expanded as far as the council will allow but I am still packing out my stadium. Is there a way to ask for a bigger stadium or does it just randomly happen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman375 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I am interested in finding out how the board decide to build a new stadium as well. I have had stadium expansion blocked by the local council 2 seasons in a row now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Brill Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I've just had a stadium expansion with Southampton and lost nearly 10,000 seats while this was going on to add 16,000 seats, it said on the news iten that PART of the South stand would be closed but for 10,000 seats to be out of action that would've taken out the whole of the south stand if I am getting my bearings correct. Can someone please tell me if the south stand on the game relates to geographical south or in any other way like the camara angle where I would say the south stand would be the stand under the camara and the north stand being opposite stand and so on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4457 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I don't think the game has individual stadiums' dimensions/stands recorded, so it's probably generic. WRT OP/subsequent posts: New stadia depend on a couple of factors, including reputation and club balance, iirc, and whether or not you're filling out your stadium. Stadium expansion should normally occur at the end of the season and end around November to January, depending on how big the expansion is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman375 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Here's a question: if the local council keeps blocking the planned stadium expansion, should I keep asking the board every season for an expansion in hopes of them building a new stadium or will that prevent them from building one because they'll be stuck in an endless loop of planning expansion and getting it rejected by the local council? My balance and reputation are very healthy (Chelsea) and I am constantly filling out my stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maidel Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I know its cheating.... but if im starting a game as a club that I (Want) to stay at for a long time (if im int that mood i tend to quit if i get sacked and start again) I make one little alteration in the editor - i change the maximum expansion capacity of the stadium to something like 80K I dont change anything else, but it just means if i get very successful i dont end up with the liverpool senario of being confined to a reasonably small stadium and suffering for it.

WBA_Baggies Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I asked my board to expand White hary Lane, they agreed to expand to 46000.

jbrowes Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I also manage Chelsea and have had 5 sucessful seasons - the stadium expanded by only 265 seats! In 08, in one game it was expanded twice and then they bought "New Wembley" 90,000 stadium - but think this has been removed from 09 version. It will be interesting to see what the Board does to solve this problem. Would be interested to hear from other long term Chelsea managers on this subject.

Suttface Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Has anyone had a new Spurs stadium? I've been stuck at 55'000 capacity for 5 years now and the board tell me every year that the local council will never allow further expansion. I'm hoping that I will get a new stadium at some point... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug? I'm sure you will find plenty of people who have had a new stadium, people have even had it named after them. And you will need more than 100 million to be granted a new stadium. Whatsmore, you may need to wait longer as i think your 20,000 stadium could be just extended. Not a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vontasben Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm just about to finish my first season in my new stadium. It's 2018/19 and I'm AFC Wimbledon (4th season in the Prem). My old stadium was expanded to 12500 and then the board announced a new 28500 stadium would be built. I didn't have any money so a £30m loan was taken out to pay for it! And it took two years to finish. Unfortunately, the name is just "AFC Wimbledon Stadium", which is rubbish! In 08 I had a stadium named after me but I've not had chance to win any trophies (since the FA Trophy) so i guess they couldn't name this one after me and we don't yet have any great players to name a stadium after. I wonder if i can get another new stadium in 10 years or so when we'll have some legends (hopefully)?.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
