The club seem to be getting a big club mentality, which is great news and long overdue. I'll trust them to make the right call on when to go large stadium wise.

We've already sold over 37k season tickets, a successful Sunderland would sell 45k season tickets easily.

Our ground is to small for a successful Sunderland.

Are they capping it at 37,000? The club will know how many they could have sold and therefore if they need to extend. They always said they wanted to as that was the reason they bought it. At marseille they didn’t own the stadium and were tied to host they could develop. Let’s hope they do it, I would love to see it with the top tier all the way around.

Even if they extended, they would still cap the ST sales at some point like most other clubs do as some cap it in the 20s.

Even now before any extension, they may even drop it if demand exceeds supply because we stay up. All they would do is not offer a ST if someone decides not to renew and turn that ST seat into a match day.

Even as a second division club we used to get crowds of over 60,000 .So imagine what we could get if we got a sniff of success.Oh don’t forget 50% of our catchment area is whater.

That was when there were limited varieties of entertainment though. Nowt else to do, so go to the football. Once technology developed and people could be entertained in other ways crowds dropped off - same as the Cinema, Theatre, Bowling etc.
