Exactly. Plus the 20-30 million of long term debt

Which would have been a huge millstone around our noggins if we would have gone ahead.

Think of the loss in revenue while the ground is being rebuilt.

Now. Saying all that. It is important to build the fan base for the future.
So how can we expand capacity without spending a fortune or distruptions.

Two ways...

The hotel corner.... Either temp or permanent section.

Safe Standing....if you had a large section of standing then clearly you could get more people in the same space and you could do the conversion in the off season.

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

        What do you mean by organise the away section better? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 10, 16:08:33
        
        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

    - Not bothered by how others "see" us. We are Norwich City and I (NCFC) - Pixelman, Apr 10, 09:47:09
      - It'll put the 'community club' ethos to the test won't it... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 10, 11:41:08
        
        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
