anyone that builds a new stadium, and it ain't going to be sisu, would surely be serious about really taking the club forward, if they can see the potential then surely they'll want a ground that matches their ambition?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 25,000 would have been fine.
Yep, fine for a team on a spiral of decline.
You have to think in terms of what the attendances would be if we were successful. Or are we just assuming we never will be and will just float endlessly around midtable on League One?
We have been in perpetual decline. We do well on the pitch you will see attendances rise dramatically.
It's quite simple really. Everyone seems to only be focusing on the here and now and our neverending failure and not on a prosperous future.
they fell everywhere, football was in massive decline throughout that period....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.

I'm not assuming that, I'm assuming that new owners will take the club forward and grow the club, it won't happen under sisu.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.

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

Nope!!!.....
2006 21,200
2007 20,400
2008 19,150
2009 17,400
2010 17,300..... and so on to present day gates! Now! not being a mathematician, I would say to get gates of approx(For arguments sake) 19k average. a lot of figures have to be around 25k to arrive at that figure yes?
I would suggest you start thinking logically..... What Stadium would that be?
BPA isn't going to happen, try thinking realistically.
When we were at Highfield Road the home support was a 19000 maximum, away 4050. we rarely got that 19000 but more offen than not the away was full. The question for BPA how do you segregate numbers like that at the Butts
Nope!!!.....

I won't say no chance, but minuscule chance, and if it does it will be in a stadium to small to be fit for purpose which will consign us to league one for at least my life time, though you sound like you'd be happy with that.I am...
So we spank millions on the BPA making a stadium inadequate for an ambitious CCFC and overkill for CFRC in the hope that this somehow distresses Wasps and ACL presumably to the point it implodes and we can then pick up the Ricoh on the cheap, abandon the BPA leaving CRFC to try and cope with a stadium to large for them? What could possibly go wrong.

Ah so we get into bed with CRFC for 5-10 yrs and then hop back over to the other venue which is 10K to big for us IYOThe club playing at BPA might lead to other events occurring that could free up another stadium in the city for possible future expansion.

Which part of "Restricted to 22k from over 36k" don't you understand?
Just for proof this taken from CCFC historian "Jim Brown"....
In 1981, the controversial decision was taken to convert Highfield Road into England’s first all-seater stadium and 8,000 extra seats were installed at a cost £400,000 reducing the capacity, at a stroke, from 36,500 to 20,600.

So what capacity would you call sufficient?Will it be too big for the rugby club - Tigers had an average gate of 21,000 last season. Whether the stadium would be too big for the rugby club depends on what the rugby clubs plans and ambitions are, doesn't it.
As for ground development at BPA - perhaps that would be funded by SISU rather than the football club.
Not necessarily, jusy taking oir first season at the Ricoj 2005/06 (ave 21.2k) there were only 3 games with attendances more than 25k - wolves, Leeds and Leicester, and all 3 brought pretty much a sell out away crowd with them.

when it implodes.
Do CRFC or Mr Sharp know this before they start spending their time and Income adopting our cause
...and how long was it until standing was reinstated, fool

Yeah, 11 years of dismal failure.
Success will boost attendances dramatically.
