A Bigger Dean Court To Come?

With the Club having the smallest crowd capacity in the Championship, it is fast approaching the time when steps will need to be taken to expand Dean Court to match current ambitions on the pitch.

Speaking on BBC Radio Solent, Chairman, Jeff Mostyn, is quoted as saying: "We know we can expand to 15,000 without any problem and hopefully look at further development. We have spoken before about filling in the corners and that would probably take the capacity to 18,000. We will expand the stadium, we have the ability to expand it and we want to fulfil our aim of getting to the Premier League, the only thing I can’t tell our supporters is when. Promotion is not the catalyst. What we have to do is keep our feet firmly on the floor as a team and take the “one game at a time” mantra. However, off the pitch running as a business we have to be prepared for what we hope will be the fulfilment of all of our ambitions. Those are our thoughts at the moment, we want to remain at the Goldsands, our fans want us to remain at the Goldsands and if we could develop the stadium to 18,000 and increase the commercial capacity then I think everybody would be happy."
