Sheffield United plan to develop Bramall Lane with a view to staging games if England's bid to stage the 2018 World Cup proves successful.
The Blades are to seek planning permission to upgrade their Kop by more than 3,000 seats, and they are also keen to develop the South Stand as they aim to increase the capacity of the ground to 40,000.
Chief executive Jason Rockett told the club's official website: "Over recent years we have upgraded supporters' facilities, have increased the capacity to just under 33,000 and seen the club become the best supported in the Championship.
"We continue to plan for the medium to long-term, putting in place the infrastructure to support a growing fan base and with an intention of achieving our main objective, promotion and sustained Premier League football.
"We have also taken a longer-term view and identified the opportunities around the South Stand which would enable Sheffield and Bramall Lane to be a part of any 2018 bid.
"The planning consultation forms part of the initial stages of the planning process. This process can take anywhere between three to six months from the application being submitted. We also recognise with a project of this size there is a need for continuing consultation with the local community and our supporters throughout the whole development process."

Those wishing to make smartass comments maybe wish to note, we sold out the home end every game in the prem. last season we had the highest average attendance in the league and this season we have the 2nd highest average attendance in the league at just under 26,000.....

I think my favourite part of that is
"We continue to plan for the medium to long-term, putting in place the infrastructure to support a growing fan base and with an intention of achieving our main objective, promotion and sustained Premier League football."
Don't you need to invest in the team to actually get to that stage? Maybe even get a better manager. Stop buying islands like Malta. Just a thought. ;D
