Bearing in mind outside the top 6 everyone is capable of beating anyone, we can only improve, and we have money to strengthen - allegedly - in January, the 33/1 for a top ten finish shown on the same site looks a far better value bet

One thing is for sure. None of us on here "know" for sure how much per seat it would cost to extend the stadium, what interest will be charged on any borrowing (if any) needed to do it, how many years that the expense will be written off over, what market research has been done to gauge demand (if any) for extra seats, what future plans (note plans not guarantees) the club has to ensure that any future seats (not to mention the existing ones) will still be popular in years to come and at what price range, what ancillary services (i.e hotel, conference rooms, leisure etc and the income it provides) could also be added if extended. The other thing that is for sure is that every club that HAS extended or moved will have known all that before they've done so. Question. How many have extended or moved and NOT achieved a higher average attendance once they'd done so?

Far be it for me to suggest deals being done or any such like, but just a week after we finally send them The One Eyed Hooky Monster .....

Wasn't relevant in the Fulham thread. Would we have sold any less in that game if the stadium was bigger? No Would we have sold any more in this game if the stadium was bigger? Yes

Then you'll have waited to long then. You will be a) losing substantial income from those that can't get in, and b) risk losing those peoples interest as they find alternative entertainment in the meantime. Any stadium that achieves occasional sellouts AND averages 90%+ capacity already has the potential for extending. No-one expects to 100% fill their stadium with every event . We've done that consistently in the PL, at the Dell, at SMS first time round and already looks like repeating it this season.

Can't be arsed to read the whole thread so may have been mentioned before but if, and I mean a really big IF, the forward thinking plan for the club is that in the not too distant future we aim to be regularly competing in Europe, would it be more prudent to extend before we get there (also bearing mind that at present interest and building costs are low) and incur some empty seats in the short term, or wait till the dream is achieved and lose out on income by not having seats available that could be regularly filled. We are all basing assumptions on what we have been in the past and where we are now, Cortese and Co seem to have bigger plans for the future than that (and from what we have seen already, each step of the plan achievable to date has been achieved so who knows where they can take us)

Yes they are both bigger clubs than us - at the moment - but their present grounds do NOT "do them fine" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/9247695/Chelsea-plan-1-billion-Battersea-stadium-QandA.html http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/spurs/The+Stadium/new-stadium-plans.page Neither sell out every week.

.................. after being locked up for 6 years. First thing you want to do is get back home to the missus and catch up for lost time. Guess THIS GUY was a tad disappointed.

Cheers for that. Just revisited the page and so it does ! Seems arse about face to me though, surely it would be more logical to open on the whole section then zoom and drag to the area/row/seat you want.

9 tickets booked by me yesterday all for non-regular attendees. First time I've used new online pick your seat system. Took me ages to work out it was only showing from half way up to the top and you had to shrink the section to be able to see the rows nearest the pitch (scroll bar done nothing). Was that just me being stupid? or a bug in the system? and could it mean many are thinking sections are full when there are seats available lower down?

Rumour has it that over 2000 missed the game whilst trying to purchase a programme

Think he was the one who agreed the complete deal, only to phone the next day to say his wife didn't want to move. Was a great player as well.

Wasn't there serious talk of one of these going on the site of the Town Depot on town side of Itchen Bridge? Or was that another Echo pipe dream story?

Wife went to Harry Potter World, you could order guide book and/or audio tour etc when purchasing your ticket online and it was handed to them as they arrived. So maybe they've found a way to pay up front and it's logged against your ticket and handed over as you pass through the turnstile. Would also save on print over-runs as they'll know in advance roughly how many required.

Surely there is a good reason for this, it keeps England England. If it wasn't held "of the crown" there's be nothing to stop anybody selling their house/land/estate/Cornwall etc to a foreign power who could eventually take over the country by stealth, one purchase at a time.

So many contenders this year it's almost unfair to award it The football segment of SPOTY will be something like "Football, the premier league was exciting for all of the last 30 seconds as City bought the title, Chelsea became kings of Europe by trying not to lose and there were a couple of cup finals, apparently. Onto our next sport ...."

Understand the abuse of position as a teacher etc but the one thing I'm not getting is why the arrest warrant for "child abduction"?. I've not seen anything to indicate she hasn't gone of her own free will.

An argument I've often made. EU Employment rules are one thing. The rules of any competition the clubs choose to enter are another. If the comp rules are that minimum of say 50% on pitch have to be English then they will naturally look to employ more Englishmen. Who knows how many more Lamberts there could be in the lower leagues waiting their chance?

LoL I actually did that accidentally last night. Not sure what I did but I think I hit the

Never have never will Execution a tad harsh but I do feel if someone has an illness that is directly linked to smoking and refuses to give up after being told it will only make the illness worse, they should forfeit any right to NHS treatment for that problem. (Same for drink-related illness or any other where any recommendation of a necessary lifestyle change is ignored)

I was speaking to somebody recently who was working on the council group that dealt with procuring the bridge, he admitted that it's a common perception that everyone believes (myself included), but was never ever even discussed let alone stated by the council. Can only assume it's a rumour that we all wanted to believe, no reason for him to make it up as he had several axes to grind over other issues involved with it's building/routing.

So it's BODMAS or BODMSA then? Just the first being easier to remember as an acronym?

See now I'm even more confused. Seems the agreement is 7 is the correct answer so why is this wrong?
