Well................ .................... .........

We don't know how many of the attendance for the Stevenage match (for example) were or were not existing season ticket holders or non-season ticket holders. The fact it was an evening match will have made it less attractive for families.

I am sure the club would hope to be playing clubs higher ranked than Stevenage and so shouldn't base capacity requirements on such an attendance.

- Does anyone have a realistic estimate of how much it would cost? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 29, 14:52:25
  - The rough guide used to be £1m per 1,000 seats... (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jul 29, 15:30:21
  - Our 2012 estimate was £20m for an extra 7k seats (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 29, 15:04:14
    - IMHO 20 m would be way off if you factor in interest. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 29, 15:12:24
  - Yes. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jul 29, 15:03:40
  - 9,000 seats would equal £9,000,000,000 then... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jul 29, 14:57:25
  - Didn't they say £1m per seat? (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Jul 29, 14:54:57
    - Not sure you have your maths right there. More likely to be 1000 per seat. (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Jul 29, 14:55:59
      - Yep. My fat fingers pressed an m instead of a k. (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Jul 29, 15:03:20
