With mighty Leeds anouncing an increase in Elland road’s capacity .Can we compete in the longer term with clubs with larger grounds and revenue streams.

A couple of thousand fans paying £30 a game is not financially game changing.

Forest supposedly going to 40, although owners want 50. Think Leicester binned off their expansion plans.

Forest have never been a well-supported club. What makes them think they can attract crowds of 50k? Delusional.

Doesn't the Stadium of Light hold nearly 50k?
So about 5 times the capacity of Bournemouth's ground?
Doesn't seem to matter.

"We have a lot of supporters and a huge waiting list for season tickets and I'm sure a 50,000-seat stadium will be full watching our team and our passion."
Earlier this year Forest said the impasse with the council meant they were considering a move to Toton in Nottinghamshire to create a new 50,000-capacity stadium.

They might have said that about us when we couldn't fill Withdean.

The cost of possible (if any) expansion would also need to be factored in.

An opportunity for them to name a new stand as the Jimmy Savile Stand.

How big a stadium could we realistically fill?
Could we fill a 50k stadium?
If so, With the club actively looking for a site in the area for a women's stadium, and our inability to expand the Amex any further, what are the chances of handing the Amex over to the women and searching for a site for a larger mens stadium?

Ask Tony if he's happy to spend north of £500m.
Also, would he be happy with 5,000 in The Amex each week for the Ladies?
£11m benefit a prem season at £45 a ticket minus operational overheads. So about half of one of our annual young kid punts a season. Will probably cost £50m to implement as well. It will improve atmosphere but in money terms it’s marginal.
