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.

ML is a multi billionaire , I think once the academy is up and running he’ll turn attention to AP and its surroundings, he’ll buy the land around AP including much of the industrial estate, he’ll give notice of the termination of the leases of the businesses situated on the estate and in partnership with the council he’ll find alternative office / factory space in the area ( must be lots of empty offices in the area) . Once the businesses are gone it’ll be straight forward to build the second access road, car parks , bus termini , shops restaurants, bowling alley , health club, luxury flats, and rebuilding Adams Park to modern standards with increased capacity.
Before anyone shouts me down and accuses me of wanting to destroy local businesses and jobs, the above is what I think a multi billionaire owner of a football club will do, rather than my own opinion.

Last time I looked Chelsea were still in business and doing rather well in the PL so I don’t see your point.
