Green's blocking Amex expansion plans? Steve Bassam

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Have we sold out the home allocation every match? I didn't think we had

Yes, yes we have. The only first team game that has not sold out in home ends was the Gilligham game, at ever other game seats have become unavailable due to them being sold out.

The only explanation I can come up with is Stoo isn't limiting it to season ticket holders, thinking that 10,000 more would come to watch us if the seats were there.

 

[Stoo82]

Are you sure? You think we'd have 28,000 season ticket holders if the ground was big enough?

Close to 10,000 people on the list. So I hear.

Might be wrong and i hope you are right but i thought it was 2000!

Green capitulation on Amex expansion. Temporary car park to get go ahead at BACA site. Planning permission for extra seats will be formality

A 'Green capitulation' or was Mr Bassam just mischief making the whole time?

Sorry to be so blunt but you are talking absolute crap!!

 

[MACROBLUE]

I just hope this all goes through because at the moment the stadium looks so lopsided. Bloody great hole in the back of the south stand and the east side looks as though the builders walked off site and left it.

Nonsense. Its about 2.5k. We will probably lose 2k at the end of the season unless we make the play offs and the waiting list will replace them.

With the extra capacity I reckon about 3-4k floating supporters on top if we are doing well, plus average of about 2k away so gates of about 24k unless we are on a promotion charge next season. Easy sell out in the prem.

The worry is if we underperform a few sth will not renew as tickets will be easy to come by on a game to game basis. I can actually see our crowds settling at a Reading plus 4k type figure eventually.

It is NOWHERE near 10000. Fact.

If that number is binary you be nearer the mark one suspects.

That's more than good enough. A few thousand empty seats isn't a problem if it means big crowds for the big games
