Their new stadium is set to become one of the most advanced in Europe.

It will feature a retractable pitch and the biggest single-tier stand in the UK – with an impressive 17,000 home end that has been inspired by Borussia Dortmund’s Yellow Wall.

Windows will be installed in the tunnel to allow visitors to watch the players emerge and there will be heated seats behind the dug-out.
