Create the product and they will come, see City, Arsenal, Spurs, and others, Sunderland even. If, as it looks like we have mega rich owners, there maybe no ceiling to what we could become.

If, as it looks like we have mega rich owners, there maybe no ceiling to what we could become.Manchester City found themselves being offered a new ground that would look ridiculous now if they hadn't got these owners. Spurs and Arsenal spent years selling out their grounds before they moved. Sunderland give do many tickets away their gates are irrelevant. For every Leicester and Southampton with bigger crowds there's a Coventry or Walsall whose ground move has done them no good at all.If we can pull in 40k, or close to it, midweek against a mid-table team then expand but until then a new North Stand adding a couple of thousand to capacity and giving more corporate income should be enough.
You either leave the North as it is (apart from some sprucing up) or knock it down and take capacity to 50K+, going half arsed and knocking it down to add a couple of thousand and a bit of corporate is a total waste of time and money.

Totally agree.
Why would you compare us to utter irrelevances like Walsall or Coventry as a reason not to increase capacity?And we're not going to be averaging mid-30s. We'll be selling out, every week.Strike while the iron is hot. Dont add 3,000 seats, add 10,000. Grow every facet and act like the big club we self evidently are, but seldom perform as.
