I have always wondered, imagine if we had established ourselves as a top 4 club under Lerner would be honestly attract enough regular support to fill 60k stadium every week? Even with man city's success they cannot regularly draw crowds like the red side of town.I think for balance, if nothing else, the midlands needs a top premiership club. But would we genuinely have support to fill it ?

There's no way we'd get permission to expand the ground without some seriously improved transport links, for a start.

Isn’t the transport issue really easily solved by laying on trains from Aston and Witton every few minutes.
Good luck to anyone who tries sorting it. The other problem is that we've got a three-sided plot and all three sides have restricted room for growth.

Concerts, rugby World Cup - fine. League games, no chance.
