Stadium Expansion

[nwhn3]

We don't need a bigger stadium. we're a local team with true supporters and it should stay that way - we're not the rags and we don't need to fill the place with anybody that can afford the price of a ticket.

This is a wind up, right. Do you want the the club to progress or should we just continue to hark back to the glory days of gillingham. As long as the core support isn't priced out ( which is borderline at present) we'll still be okay even with the occasional day tripper. Unfortunately it's the price you must pay if you want to be the top.

No it's not a wind up at all - far from it. We're not the rags and our stadium is big enough for our supporters. When we played Sunderland last season at home and we were seriously challenging for the title Nicholas Bendtner scored for them and a load of Danish school children suddenly started to cheer. It was bizarre - a case of 'we're not arsed who we sell tickets to' and if we can't fill our away supporters seats with our own fans then we'll flog them to the highest bidder. Great business plan but it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. We can't fill our stadium now with City supporters for all our home games so why make the stadium bigger?

Erm, because GROWTH is the foundation of all plans Abu Dhabi got for City?

On-pitch it´s obvious but off-pitch is where the real action is.

Just to be clear what would the criteria be for who could be a ticket? Nationality/age/annual income?

Unless you are a manual laborer, wear a flat cap, own a whippet and beat your wife you can forget about a ticket..

Surely that is the criteria to become a Leeds fan ?

Assuming this isn't a wind up, are you aware we've sold out every home league game in the last two seasons except Blackburn last season? We sold out Villa this season but they returned 2k tickets on the Friday, which didn't give us enough time to sell them all.

We could get 52k comfortably every week, and 60k for the big games. If we build a 60k stadium we might have a few thousand empty seats in the cup games but who gives a fuck? AC Milan, Barca, Madrid, have tens of thousands of empty seats for domestic cup games, never done them any harm.

Its not the 1980's anymore. Football has moved on and clubs have to maximize there revenue potential or they will be left behind.
