Well quite, but that would mean the board positively investing in the fans - something they're not interested in doing

It's out of their hands anyway, the capacity is determined by the safety advisory group and has to be a minimum of 5000 to score any IMG points. The only way the SAG will reduce capacity is if there is an agreed plan for improvement for that area which would mean it needs to be closed for safety reasons, and would likely need agreed planning approval and a schedule of works. This is to stop every club from just changing their capacity on a regular basis so that they can game the criteria to pretend they're close to capacity at every game.

1) for IMG we need to stay above 3000 to keep the score we have now. So actually it's better to decrease capacity and get a better percentage and higher utilisation of the East Stand in the short term.
2) it would take so much money to do the West enough to attract crowds, you may as well just buy a load of season tickets yourself and count them on your attendance
3) if you were going to invest in fans you'd do the back off the North Stand first in my opinion.

You don't think the North and East Stand development is them investing in fans? Get a grip

Again....looking better yes. But looking better gets us nothing but a pretty picture.
It's all about IMG points and if changing the West terrace doesn't get points then we shouldn't do it in the short term.

It’s all about points and our submission is just one of many. We first have to now score higher than the 12 SL clubs and then hope that we are the best in the Championship if one of these fails.
In his interview he hopes which appears to be all we have is hope and belief that the supporters will keep turning up if they build it.

No. In the interview he says we are in a string position on finance and stadium. Its not 'hope'.
But I guess you see what you wantvto see.

Turns out that I was right though.

Right about what !!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Does anyone know how much a season ticket is?

Can't wait for Rugby to return.

Gonna be some pee'd off people who have paid through the commit 6 if that's the case

Why?

I pay C6.

It's not simply a deferred payment plan, it's lottery numbers and discounts.

Because I'm a whinging, whining, self-important man-child, I'm not concerned.

I'll collect my ST in January and I'll keep paying as normal.
