I understood that under Ken Bates, he could not make the ground bigger because of the lack of exit points from the ground. You can only get to it from Fulham Road, and the authorities did not like so many crammed on one road. The ground is blocked in by the tube line, cemetary and school. There was talk of a walkway bridge over the railway line or cemetary to seagrave road, but it was not feasible. can someone explain how the club has got around this? Did the local authority relax their objections about the crowd numbers using  Fulham Road?
 
One other thing, the hotel and flats will be knocked down. So residents and fans who bought flats, will they be re imbursed at current market rates? Or their lawyers/estate agents may negotiate more than the what the club was expectin to pay out?
