Birmingham City is considering redeveloping part of its St Andrew’s ground to increase the capacity to 46,000, rather than moving to a new stadium.
The club has been looking at the possibility of moving away from its current home for several years and remains in talks about potential projects with Birmingham City Council.
But vice-chairman Peter Pannu admitted rebuilding the Garrison Lane stand to significantly boost the capacity from the current 30,000 was also an option.
Pannu told the Birmingham Mail: “Things are in the pipeline. We are talking with the city council and doing project reports.
“Once they are available, I'll study them and discuss with [club owner] Carson Yeung and our consultants on this issue.
“The capacity of St Andrew’s is 30,000 and we are considering pulling down our old [Garrison Lane] stand as another option.
“For us to build this extended capacity, the indication from our experts is that it would be a size increase to 45,000, 46,000.”
