Traders gotta trade. Without transfers their income is reduced.

I have never argued for Potter.

And you somehow think that our case would be similar? Any planning enquiry is out of the hands of the Local Authority.

More than the current amounts? Don't bank on it. Especially in the lower divisions.

Because of the unnecessary goals that we have conceded. Plus the fact that we might, just might, actually try to have a shot at the other goal.

What about the planning enquiry?

So let's say 10k seats at a net £400 a year, if that (don't forget VAT). That's a whopping extra £4m a year.

That does nothing to reduce the timescales.

There is a lot more to expanding a stadium than just adding some extra seats. There are many planning hoops to jump through.

Oh dear. We might be favourites for the playoffs but promotion is a long way above that. I think you may have got carried away by last season. It wasn't as great as you might think.

These plans were much more ambitious that that. Besides, have you considered when the break even point might be reached for a stadium expansion?

Where have I ever said that? Martin is on higher pay than you might think but even so it wouldn't cost that much to employ someone more pragmatic who doesn't have an ego which is bigger than the club. You are right though that more of the same idiotic football will not make any difference.

Large infrastructure projects have a long timescale.

I included bit conditions in my reply. Item 2 reveals your lack of business understanding. Without profit there is no extra revenue.

Yes. He's a busted flush. He's been found out. Do you really think he would have as good a season as last? If you do, it would explain a lot, but have you forgotten the losing spells that he had?

You're not very good at this business thing are you? "As soon as it is built" What timescale are you thinking of here? "More tickets are sold" In the Championship or lower? But more importantly, how long before we would see a positive return on investment?

There are a lot of points left to play for. With this clown in charge we are clearly doomed. With someone competent however there is a small but not infinitesimal chance.

Why? Two words. Russell and Martin.

They were statements.

I used to enjoy going and I would arrange my life and my travels around the home fixtures but this season it's different. The boring football is bad enough but what really infuriates me are the needless, senseless mistakes which gift chances to the opposition. I've had enough.

What questions?

Because we won't be winning as many games.

Ah. So the secret is revealed at last. We let the opposition thrash us every game because we want to attract more of their supporters. Genius!

That's bullshit.

It's sold for this season but what about the next?
