I'd love for OT to look like a complete stadium rather than a hodge podge of stands again but I'll be surprised if we're willing to shell out the money, the Glazers are used to shafting local taxpayers to fund their American stadiums as an "asset to the local economy" after all.

I'm sure the council could be won round but the other issue is the foundation of OT itself which, according to reports the last time this was touted after the quadrants, could cost more to repair/replace each stand than to build a new stadium. Considering the club own a lot of land around the stadium already it might be cheaper to build a new stadium next to the current one.
