No wonder other fan bases laugh at us. We don’t regularly sell out our games, fans complain when the south stand is opened to bring in more fans and now talk of expanding the stadium
Trouble is it would have to go outwards and there isn't room due to the railway line. Casino/Exhibition hall prevents you from doing the other side. South stand and you might be too close to the road.
Yes I wonder how hard the organisation is seeking it,or the LA progressing it??The big hope is Mike Ashley gets planning permission for his empires proposed new base in Ansty. If his roots are settled here I can see him then trying to buy the club.
Might as well consider the massive expansion the club is potentially getting into as well stagnation seems to be the former currently ?The railway line isn’t that close. An upper tier would sit above where people currently queue for the turnstiles.
I think we’re all getting a bit ahead of ourselves anyway!
Nah, they laugh as we have fans from ExhellNo wonder other fan bases laugh at us. We don’t regularly sell out our games, fans complain when the south stand is opened to bring in more fans and now talk of expanding the stadium
Talk of expanding is ridiculous. Nottingham Forest , Wolves and Leicester sell out matches more often than not. All three are looking to expand towards 40k, 50k and 40k respectively.
We are not at that stage . We are not even in the premier league so we can't know what the demand will be. Historically we lose support quickly when things are on the slide whereas those clubs tend to hang on to their support more than us.
Things have moved on since we were relegated from the prem all those years ago. Attendances are generally higher and so I would expect our support to remain good as long as we're pushing for promotion but until we are bursting at the seams watching an average team, any talk of adding another 7-8k won't happen.
Buying one now to guarantee a semi final ticket would surely get 2024/25 sales way over 22k???It is ridiculous at this stage, but isn’t it nice that we’re now talking about it?
7 years ago this place was full of talk about how a 15k capacity stadium at Warwick Uni would be suitable for us.
It will get through, too many jobs involved will be a massive boost for the area. If he gets his base here and he owns the ground can only see him trying to buy the club.Yes I wonder how hard the organisation is seeking it,or the LA progressing it??
Why would we want Ashley owning the club? No thanks.The big hope is Mike Ashley gets planning permission for his empires proposed new base in Ansty. If his roots are settled here I can see him then trying to buy the club.
dont want Ashley anywhere near the club itself thanksDo we want Ashley owning the club?
It would be great to finally reunite the club and stadium, but I’m happy with the job Doug is doing
You would be guaranteed a premier league team. So short sighted.Why would we want Ashley owning the club? No thanks.
Totally agree, there should be a minimum capacity of 30,000 required to be in the Prem.expanding the CBS!!!! The FA needs to sor out Bournmouth and Lutons lack of space first its madness that they can survive on such meagre gates! what happens when the Premier League money tanks?

How do you that with all that's happening to teams at the top facing questions?He just leeched money from Newcastle every year - using them as a cash cow - whilst never letting their club have a real go at anything. Clever businessman, who really wouldn't give a sh&t about our club.
They should have a sushi bar running on a train track conveyor belt through the new concourse imoSo when the sheiks take over, I was thinking another tier on the East Stand, and expand backwards out over the railway line, then have an integrated station in the arena.

If he owned the club, I presume he could set up charges / withdraw funds at his behest. If you owned your own company, I presume you could award yourself all sorts of payments, bonuses etc, provided they were reported correctly.How do you that with all that's happening to teams at the top facing questions?
The money comes from TV and sponsorship, only the likes of Liverpool the Manchester and a couple of the London clubs generate loads from match day revenue and club merchandise. The media will ensure they keep it going. Loads of people moan about tv ruining the came but keep paying their subscription.expanding the CBS!!!!

With the TV money the Prem attracts, some clubs don’t need to sell tickets to turn a profit.expanding the CBS!!!! The FA needs to sor out Bournmouth and Lutons lack of space first its madness that they can survive on such meagre gates! what happens when the Premier League money tanks?
The stand opposite the dugouts was designed to have another tier added if I recall correctly
The big hope is Mike Ashley gets planning permission for his empires proposed new base in Ansty. If his roots are settled here I can see him then trying to buy the club.
Prudence what the others will be dreaming of shortly?And he won't put a penny in just like at Newcastle. Newcastle had to live off the income it generated, so just like Coventry under SISU.
The Mike Ashley Dream Is Delusional.
Exactly. And yes. Inter company transfers and loans , shareholder dividends etc etc. Ashley is a scum bag and we don't want him anywhere near our club.If he owned the club, I presume he could set up charges / withdraw funds at his behest. If you owned your own company, I presume you could award yourself all sorts of payments, bonuses etc, provided they were reported correctly.
It isn't prudencePrudence what the others will be dreaming of shortly?
Can it spin round like the cafe in the lower precinct did back in the day?
In all seriousness Barcelona have developed their ground by just adding tier on tier. The top tier has always housed the terracing.
The rotunda never span, that's a myth.
This season was the all time record for season ticket sales, and I believe it was capped at 18.5k (?) which I believe we sold.
Is it likely to be higher of lower next season? Will the cap be increased? I know there will have been increased interest last season with the PL package, and the play off final, but this seasons run-in is exciting with the play off chase and Wembley visit.
