As you said, you're not a mathematician, but even with your clear lack of... ability... you must be able to work out which stadium I meant.

As you say you're not a mathematician. Your question is more of a statistics one than a maths one... and the answer is - not necessarily.

I didn't say you were assuming attendances would always hold up, but others seem to be stuck in that mindset.

The club playing at BPA might lead to other events occurring that could free up another stadium in the city for possible future expansion. Try thinking strategically...

That's precisely my point. People shouldn't simply assume attendances in the Premier League or the Championship or League 1 will always be 'X' thousand.

...and some are just assuming football attendances will stay stable or even increase. Attendances at Highfield Road through the late 1970s through to the mid 1980s fell dramatically even though the club was in the top flight.

So... in a time period in excess of a decade, during which the club has payed more than 260 competitive senior games at the Ricoh Arena, there's been an attendance of more than 25,000 on just 12 occasions. Those figures mean that for more than 95% of games a stadium with a capacity of less than...

That's not what I wrote, is it?

No idea of whether she was leader when the scheme was first proposed. If it's like other things in this city we'll probably never really know who first proposed the idea and when, but if it becomes controversial the CT will present a load of contrived and made up 'facts' to cover the council's...

That's not my attitude at all, is it. A retirement village with a sports stadium on one side and busy railway line on the other, it was never going to be tranquil for people's salad days was it? Then look at the cost, "...prices for 40% shared ownership one bedroom properties start from...

Some of those living in the retirement village may not be happy, but it comes down to due diligence on their part doesn't it. As I said, there's been a sports stadium there since the 1880s.

If you really don't recognise how a local authority can deliberately act with malice towards a particular business, or how it can manipulate the planning system, you're very naive.

But there has been a stadium (of sorts) on the site since the 1880s. Nobody still living was around when there wasn't a stadium at the Butts. What you are presenting is similar to the argument used by those who move next door to an airport and then complain that there is an airport next to...

DISCLAIMER - I don't work for SISU, CCFC or anyone connected with them. I am not saying any detailed plans exist for BPA (because I have no idea if they do). But... if it is accepted that the football club believes it is being frozen out of the city, can't people understand why they would...

I was writing about Wimbledon Stadium (the greyhound stadium site), not where AFC Wimbledon play at the moment. I believe 'SkyBlueTony' was also writing about the greyhound stadium site.

The flats aren't there at the moment - I understand the idea is to build the stadium and the flats. Also, apparently the site is a difficult one - it's former marshland.

It's not really that different, is it: - Butts Park Arena is an existing stadium and the suggestion is a replacement stadium be built there - AFC Wimbledon's proposal is to take an existing stadium site and build a replacement stadium there. - There's quite a lot of housing close to Butts...

But the Wimbledon plans demonstrate that others believe football stadiums can co-exist with housing, don't they.

Here's an image of the proposed finished development at the AFC Wimbledon ground... The completed ground is to be pretty much surrounded by flats (602 of them according to the BBC).
