Already said that on here yesterday in similar words. Wont be able to go to the next level until we get an owner who had lots of money. I like Kyril and the model. It is working. But this model will only get us so far imo. And the stadium would look like what MK dons stadium looks like for them. Then get around 8-10k in there's and it holds over 35k I think. And it looks shite when you go

There's no other real 'model' to follow unless you've got a state owning the club or somebody like abramovic.

When the model gets us to the point we need more investment KLD will invest more. Like he has done to every point so far.

What's that got to do with going from 42k to 48k?

I'm saying. I like how we are signing young hungry players who seem to be the only ones in god knows how long who have played for their shirt and the fans. Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth work off a similar "model" and its working for them

To be fair front row must be a horrific experience

I've been getting in the front row fairly often, recently. Bad knee for about two years (I had full replacement knee surgery 6 weeks ago, and planning going back for the Preston game, two sticks this time).

It's a pretty Shite view, but you don't have anyone standing in front of you, and it's not terrible tbf.

Put it this way, down Blackburn, sitting with eyes almost pitch level, about 110 yards away (with my knackered lamps) I saw the penalty non-decision plain as day. I knew it should have been a penalty. Yet the clown ref didn't see it from around 8 yards. Of course.
 
Looks like they have opened the very front of the South Stand and theres only a handful left, heading for a complete sell out now by lunch time.

This model has worked wonders for Brighton, look where they are. They dont have rich owners, rich owners mean nothing due to FFP. Thats why the Mags are desperate to get new lucrative sponsorship deals and extend SJP. They cant spend the money out of there own back pockets. What they can do is invest in infrastructure but we have all ours in place, just needs some TLC.

Was behind the goal for Fulham and QPR away this season. High risk high rewards seating - other side of the pitch and you’re clueless, infront of you and it’s great. That Rigg offside goal still plays on my mind…

Don't get me wrong. I've stated that in what I've just said before. But I am just sceptical. I would love Kyril to be the man to bring us the success that Brightons owners are bringing them atm.

If the club are really being prevented from selling seats in certain sections of the stadium then this should be loudly and clearly communicated, with the justifications clearly set out.

The club should also set out explicitly whether or not they agree with these restrictions, and what (if any) actions they intend to take to have them lifted.

Vague allusions to restrictions imposed by the SAG are entirely unsatisfactory.

This is a public body imposing restrictions on a private company and its customers. Their decisions should be open and transparent and subject to scrutiny and challenge.
