I guess that's where the risk is too isn't it? Saying that 10k is what will make the club sustainable and then thinking that extending the stadium to fit that number in will make them come is an extremely risky strategy isnt it? For arguements sake, what happens if the stadium gets extended and 2 years later the gates are still under 9500 and Rovers are still losing cash hand over fist, what happens then?

For arguaments sake what happens if the Stadium is extended, crowds consistantly hit 10k plus, we start to appear in major finals and we operate at a profit?

Why not be constructive and help out GML to provide us with the missing glory years? Who knows, it may be that FC's 81% dominance drops to "only" 70%.

That would be a real achievement, quite unique in your history, in living memory at least.

Perhaps all the residents of Preston Road & Greatfield will ditch their Sky dishes and look forward to a HKR home game as their twice-monthly highlight?

Does it really upset you that much that FCs fans can have a conversation with our club to rectify issues and to influence future decisions? Must feel awful as a fan to feel so far away from your club i guess?

As with my arguement that's a possible outcome too. However, from a risk management perspective which one would you think is more likely? If i were looking at lending to a SL club as an example that said to me they would repay the borrowings once they average 10k per home game i would ask how likely that would be. For them to then tell me they dont sell out their ground currently and they have never averaged 10k i'd withdraw any kind of funding immediately. Guess that was my point. Risky. (not to mention the fact that 10k sustains you, 11-13k is a minimum needed to start to pay your debt off)
