That’s been literally impossible until recent changes to the away end. I’m not 100% it’s possible now.
There’s only been a handful of games where this was actually a problem. Any talk of a stadium extension is fanciful thinking until we reconfigure the away end to maximise the amount Cov fans in the home end. It’s only until then and we consistently sell this out over a long period of time (10+ years) before you’d consider an extension.
We’re not a club that would consistently sell out a 42,000 seater stadium in the Prem or not.
Yet.Same as all the other biggish midlands clubs. They don't need a 40k stadium in the premier. We're one of those. We're not as big as Forest or Leicester.
In your opinion.We’re not a club that would consistently sell out a 42,000 seater stadium in the Prem or not.
In your opinion.
How many Adult season tickets have we really sold? Discounting the £50 per year kids ones.
Quite possibly 35k for the Liverpools etc first season . Absolutely wouldn't make sense to expand unless we were getting 35k on a windy January evening against Brentford when we're mid table.I’d hope not, then we’d need a 50k stadium!
In an imaginary world of magically expanding stadia, if we went up we’d absolutely be pulling in 35-40k a week.
The other point is that spare capacity is a good thing for a club that wants to grow. If someone picked us up wanting to pump cash in the max capacity before we need an upgrade is a serious concern.
I think people are looking at Prem attendances twenty five years ago and making silly assumptions mixed in with a good old bit of Coventry pessimism.
I agree that talk of expanding the stadium is very premature atm, but nobody knows our true potential if we become a very successful Prem club.Based on facts. We don’t even sell out our 32.6k stadium in todays world. We have 19-19.5k ST holders and sold out a handful of games in since we moved to the CBS.
People are getting a bit too carried away in the moment - no one was saying these things even 12 months ago.
We do have potential, I’ll never talk our club down.I agree that talk of expanding the stadium is very premature atm, but nobody knows our true potential if we become a very successful Prem club.
I'm not disagreeing with any of that. There's a feeling among some of our support that we're a small club and always will be and I think they're wrong.
After all we've been through as a club this is a great discussion to be having.
We won’t be getting 35k for anybody.Quite possibly 35k for the Liverpools etc first season . Absolutely wouldn't make sense to expand unless we were getting 35k on a windy January evening against Brentford when we're mid table.
