If we can make it to the championship I see no reason why we can’t draw similar crowds. It’s absolute dream talk whilst we sit here in the lower half of league two but I see no reason why it can’t be us being the leading team in the city if we sort out our stadium situation and sort our sustainability out. Basically I’ve done a really poor job of saying I think City have failed to capitalise on their situation and have now stagnated. There’s a huge amount of untapped potential for a successful football team in the city and if we can get the stadium situation right I see no ceiling for our potential. Any less than 20k as a starting point lacks ambition, in fact 20k is probably right. However we should be able to expand to at least 30k, ideally 35k+ else IMO we’re complacent to be the second club in Bristol. The delusion is strong in this one . The stadium was finished on August 2nd 2021 (according to their lord and master), but I have yet to see reviews or pictures of it, let alone any discussion about it's impact on the fortunes of the club.

Malago Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 So let me get this straight. Some time in the future, timescale naturally undefined, they’re going to need a 35k stadium which, to put it into context, would be bigger than those of 9 existing premier league clubs and every club in the championship. It begs the question are they merely mad, raving mad or stark raving mad? 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 they are actually right,they will need a 35k stadium,that allows 5 seats for each fan,just enough for 4 carers to accompany them each, by the time its built that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sadact obviously doesn't realise that despite being at our lowest ebb in almost a decade we are still above the likes of Sunderland, Wednesday, Derby, Birmingham, Ipswich, Pompey and a multitude of successful clubs like Swansea. Good stagnation Saggy, building for the next attempt at promotion. They generally don't know how irrelevant they are 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nicked from Rupert St car park, I'm sure of it. As for starting at 20k, wasn't their new hovel supposed to be 'potentially expandable to 20k'? 12-14 is it then, still won't fill it anyway, unless they draw us in the cup and we can fill it for them. Something like Shrewsbury or Colchester would be about right, loads of room for them. OTIB. Edited January 19, 2022 by Ska Junkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simster Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'd laugh except I'm a Brighton fan.

But nor had we since 1986 until the Amex got built: England historical attendance and performance (european-football-statistics.co.uk) . I think you have to be a bit careful talking about attendances - they weren't remotely comparable to modern day gates from the 70s to the 90s.

I appreciate your view, but you have rebuilt in a bubble. Who are you rivals for your fanbase, Crawley Town? If you lived here you would see that they really haven't got the "base" they think they have. The only reason they think they have a large number of fans waiting to crawl from the woodwork is because their board represents their aging and slowly depleting following. It will be a minimum of 10 years before there might be a realistic chance of them having this new stadium at which point they will be attempting to build from almost nothing, and as I have said, they are not in the vacuum that your club had the advantage of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
