It'll put the 'community club' ethos to the test won't it...

There's no real financial gain in expanding. You can easily do a Bournemouth and survive

However do the club feel an obligation to allow as many of its fans to see us live as possible? I suspect that they (rightly) do.

wow...b'burn (NCFC) - Jester, Apr 10, 09:08:04
- and yet some moron said we shouldn't expand the stadium because we "never" sell out lolf (NCFC) - Tombs, Apr 10, 09:32:29
  - u think selling out the final home game and likely promo party disproves his point (NCFC) - fond, Apr 10, 12:21:43
    - Yep, it's a one-off. Would like a more modern stadium, but doubt we could fill it unless (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 10, 13:45:58

        Just think we could do some stuff to stop some seat wastage. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 10, 18:01:43
        
        Maybe - I'm not sure there is anything there tbh. We already have fully moveable barriers (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 10, 18:06:38
        
        Does safe seating include seatbelts? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 10, 16:07:35
        
        LOL.... fair enough..... you get the point. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 10, 17:59:50
        
        haha (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Apr 10, 16:32:55

        I very much doubt there is a single City fan (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 10, 11:45:29
        
        I assume he's talking about the people who (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Apr 10, 12:03:19
        
        well at that point (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 10, 12:45:24
        
        So these are people who'd like to see us regularly if in the Prem but not otherwise? (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 10, 12:22:46
        
        The premier league is more popular than the championship. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Apr 10, 12:44:11
        
        Not with actual fans (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 10, 12:57:14
        
        not really sure what an 'actual fan' is. Some people get drawn back in by success. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Apr 10, 14:13:07
        
        I guess it partly depends on the definition of 'established' (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 10, 14:41:27
        
        Mate of a mate saw how well we were doing and bought a half-season ticket to ensure a (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 10, 13:18:42
        
        Trouble is we expand to accommodate people like him... (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 10, 13:27:10
        
        Yep that's it really. I'm assuming we're at the cap point for STs next season (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 10, 12:19:54
      - It's not how the fans see us that matters so much to me,it's potential signings. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Apr 10, 11:19:54
        
        Bournemouth bought Nathan Ake & Dom Solanke (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 10, 11:37:29
        
        Fair point. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Apr 10, 13:01:14
        
        That's all about the £££ (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 10, 11:28:20
        
        Ipswich have a bigger stadium than us (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 10, 11:37:32
      - Absolutely (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 10, 10:38:06
        
        are you sitting down? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 10, 10:58:58
      - Think it's more a case of adding 5000 to 10000. (NCFC) - Men without hats, Apr 10, 10:22:23
        
        Think expanding to over 30k capacity would be dumb (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 10, 10:32:21
        
        Exactly. Plus the 20-30 million of long term debt (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 10, 15:16:38
