Not currently worth it
Our 25000 capacity is just about right. It ensures sellouts, as people have to think/plan in advance to get a ticket these days, not just turn up on the day if the sun's shining, which might be the case if we had a bigger stadium, and might adversely affect attendances (as at ipswich, Southampton, Middlesbro etc) and lead to a soul-less atmosphere as at ipswich etc.
