Sure. But RCF seemed to suggest the rules are unfair because they discriminate against clubs with small stadiums. I just said that's their choice. In any case, they play in one of the wealthiest parts of Europe and have a county of nearly half a million to themselves. They should easily be aiming to fill a reasonably-sized stadium. Nothing like Wigan who are surrounded by a load of massive clubs and aren't even the biggest sport team in their own town. Nobody ever seriously thought they were a long-term proposition.

Again, they didn't own own the ground for 20 years which made doing any major work difficult. They do now and so are looking at expanding to 20k. They're doing it the right way imo.

Maybe. But still no need to moan about the loss of revenue which was their own choice. Not that they are moaning, to my knowledge. I was replying to RCF's point.
