We’ve averaged more in league one after 4 years there than we did in that championship under short. It’s all about momentum.

Football attendances have moved on in the last 6 years since we were in the prem.

Brighton have gone from 7k to 32k in the last 10 years. West Ham 34k to 56k.

The increases are across the board.
 
Watched from a distance on this, and my 1st reaction was it's bollocks , and I wouldn't want it. Reading that it could be paid for grants for the Euros and we wouldn't have to pay anything (I'm not saying this is true) is interesting as if you were KLD and you had a chance of a 20 million grant to extend your ground for nowt, while trying to benefit from it, then may it might make sense to him. That is 20 million pounds free investment if true. To read his Dad did the same at Marseille would suggest he would defo think about it.

On a personal level I don't think it would be great, as no one wants a half empty stadium. I'm unsure now though as if someone offered a free extension to your house, you'd probably take it. I don't think the pitch carnage would help mind, and I'd like to think we could do something to help that, but we haven't got a ground like Spurs with different pitches available. I don't think it will happen but there has been a few posts that have made me think there could be something behind it. If it happens isa a totally different thing mind

If he’s anything like my kid, he’d not do it exactly because his dad did it at Marseille

Well first of we dont need a 49,000 seater stadium, and secondly the stadium needs investment as it’s looking run down

So we are going to reduce our potential revenue stream and invest in the stadium 🤷‍♂️
What if we get promoted and the stadium can no longer satisfy supporter demand ?

I agree to an extent but if you owned it, and someone said they would pay 20 million to put an extension on it, would you do it?(I'm using grant figures on here, Doesn't mean they are true) It would be a no brainer in that aspect. I only live with Mrs Sauce now the kids have flown so we don't need a 3 bed house in reality. If someone offered to pay to make it a 5 bed for no investment from me, I'd be stupid not to look into it.

I don't think it will happen, but it's got me thinking that IF some of the funding is true , it wouldn't be looked at .It would have to be.

If it’s funded almost entirely then it’d be pretty stupid to not investigate it, empty seats or not
