How big a club will we be with a decent ground?

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

depends how many years you give us to reach this predicted size.

1-5 years i would say ipswich

5-10 i would say the size of a team like man city maybe?

You lot would need to stay in thew Championship for a few years like Wigan have wth their new stadium. Form a base to get promoted and then who knows. You could be like us

It's only Wigans second season at this level..

So we could be challenging for a place in the Premiership next season?

 

[3gulls]

Are we talking about the 35k regularly at Portman Road a few seasons back or the 30k at Leicester here?

Can't understand why anyone would knock Charlton, an established Premiership side, albeit a less glam one, with crowds in excess of 25k, stadium expansion to 40k mentioned......

With a capacity of 22500?

being a great side in the championship, and in the prem fighting for survival.

 

[berkshire seagull]

Same as Palace.
Up and Down like a yoyo.
You may get 15.000 + crowds in Championship.
And average 19.000 in prem if you make it.
But seriuosly you need 3 years in this league 1st.

What the hell are you on
19k in the prem ha ha your having a laugh it will be a sell out every game with ease.Don't underestimate the potential here,but we need an ambitious chairman first.

The point i`m getting at is if your only an average prem side you will struggle to get sell outs week in week out with the prices of todays games would you spend £30.00 on yourself and £20.00 for your son or daughter week in week out as not everyone can afford a season ticket.
Palace will struggle to get a sell out each game if we continue this baron run.

Irony not your strong point I take it?

 

[C1 BHA]

All this fantasising is great isn't it?
Meanwhile back on planet earth, the average fan in the street is being asked to send in a donation to keep the club afloat :thud:

 

[Brixtaan]

. Form a base to get promoted and then who knows.

What sort of a base? an Airbase for the helicopters or one to play football in? You cannot surely be talking about fanbase you jealous little London toerag?

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Falmer = 22k = decent Championship outfit with the odd flirtation with the Prem.

 

[Yorkie]

<cough> Huddersfield <cough>

They got a decent ground and.........

And wasted all their money on ridiculous wages on 4 year contracts promised before the ITV digital deal went wrong.

Fat Andy Booth was on 8k (in the 3rd division) a week until last May.
