Re: FT article on League One transfer fees
Our average home attandence is just over 5000 in this league . I am pretty confident it would be between 6000-6500 in the championship.With the away end selling out for most matches it seems likely to me we would have between 7000-8000 total crowd for the bulk of matches . Against QPR and Watford I would expect a sell out . If we got to the Prem we would sell out most most matches and need to extend and put a new road in . The arm chair /glory supporters would come in their droves if we made it to the prem . If Bournmouth can survive with a capacity of 11000 then we could with 7000-8000 in the championship and with similar in the prem . The point is we are following the same model Bournmouth has . Developing the best talent and selling players for ££££££££££ . That is where the money is coming from . Before anyone panics about us spending approx £2m in this window . We have an asset in Kone for more like £10m and all of the payers we have bought have either got potential to be sold for far more in the future or at least for what we have paid for them . I would far rather we were doing what we are , and going on the journey we are , than languishing in the bottom two divisions living on crumbs .

Having thought about it, if the future is Coldplay headlining at the Kaspi Stadium in 2030 then I'm going to reform Wycombe Nose Club.

Yep it doesn't make any sense making big changes to the current location when we'd probably have an absolute glass ceiling of about 15,000 capacity.
It'd be a new site with much higher ceiling growth capacity.
However, before then let's get Crawley away dealt with.

Yes, a toddler could understand that Chelsea didn’t exactly collapse into ruin when Abromovich left, and only left because he was forced to, so what’s your point?

Crowds will go up when the team goes up. Simple as that really.

For people who know their way round a VPN, cost must be a factor too.
Freezing cold day, pay £31 to get dripped on all game in the Frank Adams or pay a tenner (or less) and watch it from the sofa.
I wouldn’t do it every game, but if you’ve had a long day at work, or are not feeling your best, it’s very tempting.
