But if you can own and redevelop some land around AP with retail , restaurants and property then perhaps it doesn’t matter so much about actual crowd capacity even though if access was easier would increase anyway.
If we did ever need to expand it would probably have to be outside of Wycombe as I can't think of anywhere left to build a 15k stadium in and arounbd Wycombe . Plus our council have historically been pretty anti WWFC . I think your suggestion is a likely scanario if we needed to grow , I would hope a little nearer to Wycombe than that though .
I'm not convinced growing the fan base is part of the project, so I imagine that moving to a new stadium is not on the radar at all. Improving what we have at some point may be an option, but we already have the minimum capacity for the premier league.
The elite level academy, with links to Kazakhstan, is the biggest part of this long term project. Although its not clear how the links abroad will work yet.
I don't think its fair the FT roping us into the same storyline with Birmingham and Wrexham. Our 'tycoon' takeover is still only just beginning, and all 3 clubs have very different stories anyway. We're still the underdogs in this drama and if we finish in one of the top two spots this season it'll be the greatest achievement in the amazing history of this football club!
Q-pop (Qazak Pop) is enjoying support from both the government and the people as a means to promote and popularize the use of Kazakh language and Latin script among youth.[5][15][16] However, it has also faced criticism and rejection from the traditionalist element of society, especially toward its performers' on-stage appearance.[17][18][19] Since 2018, there has been an annual q-pop music festival called the Q-Fest, usually held during Autumn in Almaty.[20][21]
Fuck off Coldplay, the Q-fest is coming to Gerrard's Cross.
It won’t be long before the council/government close down Wycombe hospital and move some of it to a purpose built facility on the edge of town and the rest to Stoke Mandeville.
ML will buy the hospital site and build a 20000 theatre of chairs in the centre of town and call it the Kaspi Dome at Loakes Park.
Whilst we are talking hypotheticals it seems to me that the possibilities are
a) as suggested above ML buys up the industrial estatem redevelops it with other leisure amenities, car parking and a second point of access & extends the stadium progressively to c15k
b) we look for a site near the M40 - unfortunately the majority of the land to the south of the M40 is designated Green Belt & to the north is already developed. The one exception is the air park at Booker which we all hated the last time it was raised as an option. Other than that we are then moving out to south of Lane End, or south of the M40 to the west of Lane End none of which is designated Green Belt.
c) we look for a suitably sized Brownfield site in or around the town that has reasonable access to public transport, can be accessed readily from the M40 (e.g. the hospital site if the NHS moves out)
Moving too far from High Wycombe may fall foul of FA rule 2.1
I am inclined to think if the ownership group are committed to the long term development of the club then option a) or b) are the most likely, however the latter leaves the Trust in a difficult position unless they were to make Adams Park the home ground of the women's teams and bust a gut to get them up the pyramid.
As a resident of Chalfont St Peter I’m liking this idea. Walk to the stadium, passing lots of local coffee shops. Gerrards Cross Wanderers in the Premier League…who would have thought it? Maybe add rugby as a second option….and cricket too for the summer?
Bournemouth averaged about the same as us in this league, and their current capacity is about 12,000
Don't see why we need more than that to be honest. If we go up our average will go up next season because we'll get more away fans every week and some more home fans because we'll be playing bigger teams at a higher level
And if we were to go up again we'd sell out every week
I'd much rather watch football in a 12,000 stadium that is full than a 25,000 stadium that is half full

Green belt land ?
Think of all the money a stadium on that site would make from pop concerts and the like.
Mostly Coldplay, I'd guess, if Dan Rice has a say.
Is that the one that used to stink when you walked past it?
Has there ever been a stadium with a glass ceiling?
But if you can own and redevelop some land around AP with retail , restaurants and property then perhaps it doesn’t matter so much about actual crowd capacity even though if access was easier would increase anyway.
Crystal Palace?
Quite 😂
Only one that has been a metaphorical representation of life's foibles.
A few sandwiches to the right decision maker and it'd be "didn't this land used to be fields" in seconds.

You certainly hold your breath for a number of reasons...
Hoping the sing up gasroom gang aren't a bit loose with where they let their cig butt's drop....
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.
🥁

Due to the climate crisis there are dozens of abandoned chairlifts on the lower slopes of the Alps.
Stop signing expensive Danes and get it done Rice!
Bucks Uni site bought up to house the ground.
Hospital site bought up for parking, associated megastore, ex players association and various dining opportunities, all branded in Wycombe colours.
It could be James Blunt or we might get lucky with that asteroid.
What chord is he playing. ?

To complete the dream, we might get our slope back!
C add9?
If you drop a piano down a pit shaft you get A Flat Minor.
With the capo on the 3rd fret it looks like Am7 as a bar chord to me or in C if ignoring the capo
It’s still a c with or without the capo.
Berlin Olympiastadion has a partially glass roof
C Major with a bar chord?
