FACT. Agree with all that.

There was one stand that cant be extended, i think it may be the Kingsland.

hcdajfu. Definitely.

UNbelivable that any club would sign him with his injury record and pay demands, isn't he meant to be on £60k a week at QPR? He's hardly played in about 8 seasons.

I agree, Maynard has looked a top player at times for West Ham, he definitely went to the wrong club. Still West Ham will be flogging him off cheap when they dont go up.

regardless of any of this though we need to take everything MLG says with a huge pinch of salt. lest we forget it was him that claimed we should pay players what they want and were the most attractive team for a player to join outside of the top four in the premier league. When we were in league one.

Antonio. Hero worshipped by some on here but no where near good enough for us this season or in the premier league.

In a thread that will go on and on and on until the new kit comes out in July, which will be stripes.

* waits for The9 to start posting mock ups *

Why almost certainly a lot cheaper than when lowe was around? Back then it was quoted as £3k per seat to expand, so 6k expansion would equal £18m. Why would the cost dramtically of come down? Well done on posting without mentioning Alpine is on ignore BTW. you see you can do it.

F*ck me, we must be the only club in the country where fans dont even try to get tickets depsite being desperate to go. Tottenham have a waiting list of 13k for season tickets, Newcastle had one similar when they were in the top 4. Arsenal had a waiting list with tens of thousands of members on it and ballot systems for tickets which meant they knew they could fill a 60k stadium. Not us though, our fans just dont bother trying if they dont think they can get them.

So we are going to get promoted, not be able to sell out our 32k stadium, reduce prices to do this and still you think we should expand? I'm glad you aren't running my business.

The Dell was clearly too small, we sold out every game, we needed to move or sooner or later to be competitive. I keep hearing that this is the best football we have played in years and what a great time it is to be a Saints fan, yet our averaqe is around 3/4s of capacity when we are top two and heading for our first promotion to the premier league since 1978. On this basis i dont understand why people think we are going to get 20,000 extra fans for a midtable clash with Fulham.

I really dont understand the logic in spending millions in increasing the capacity and then reducing the price. Surely 32k paying £40 each is better than 40k paying £20 each and not spending the £18m it would cost to increase the capacity?

Im "working from home" fella. Hungover, up in Chelsea last night. Juan Mata was in the same bar as us. He wanted to have his picture taken with me and put it on facebook but he didn't want to disturb me. Be heading northh at 5.

Do you think Cortese is going to spend millions expanding the stadium then reduces the prices?

Why spend £18m on expanding when there are no guarentees we can fill what we have first?

Well i for one will be getting my flask and tupperware box full of fairy cakes out at half time.

So there would be 10-12 games a season where demand would not be much greater than 32k. Not really a compelling argument to expand so we can hopefully, possibly, maybe sell another 6k tickets 8 times a season.

We probably would get some, i dont doubt that at all. Would we get 38k for Wigan at home on a tuesday night or Fulham at home on a sunday for a game on TV? Probably not. If we sell SMS out for a couple of seasons and are turning people away every week then it's time to expand.

Simply having a bigger stadium doesnt automatically mean more people will come. Obviously more people will be able to come if they wish to, but lets wait and see if we can sell 32,000 seats every week first before thinking about spending the £18m to make St Marys bigger. I keep being told people cant make games because they are skint, its midweek, surprise family birthday parties etc. Are these circumstances all going to suddenly dispear when we get to the premier league?

I used to know a scruffy, fat c*nt who looked like Uncle Buck who used to love this arguement. He claimed people that go to gyms and wear good clothes have confidence issues. He's still single.

What are we going to do now that imaginary line from Liverpool to Birmingham to London that everyone used to bang on about now contains 3 premier league clubs and not just us? That's reduced by two thirds of the fans that would have come from Wales, Devon and Cornwall to see Premier league football already.

I heart these threads. MLG with his usual nonsense that we should expand St Marys because another club with a smaller stadium mentioned once that they might look at expanding their ground in the future.
