What will that take you to?
About 35/36k I'd say

Yeah what Southey says, I think it will touch over 36k.

The inital plan (when we had Steve Morgan) was to start with the North Bank and go around from there, meaning the Steve Bull would be the next to be knocked down (the eventual aim for the whole stadium to look something similar to Sunderland's SoL). Fosun seem to have their own different plan on how to do it though.

I'd prefer it if they did it all in one go than knock a stand down every season. We can go and play at the Ricoh for a year :lol:

Big plans then. Must admit, I'm still trying to come to terms with it all, and hopefully you don't leave us too far behind ;)

Lerner had plans drawn up for the north stand be knocked down, and take our capacity up to 50k. Luckily it never went through, but the plan is if and when we are back in the prem to go ahead with it. We will need a good team, and to be around the top 6 to make it worthwhile .

Get ready for the blues and baggies love in. When they play each other they can both sing SOTV together.

West Brom :wub:

I will have to go rummage up the loft this weekend and dust off my Blues/Baggies friendship scarf. Be like old times, walking up the Coventry Road hand in hand, chanting in unison. A meal after the match, it'll be like that scene from Lady and the Tramp.

Brighton 32 mill. Can't even remember them spending major money.
I think it was more the high wages that they were giving to get their better players to stick around, the likes of Dunk etc.

They did also pick up people like Glenn Murray, Duffy, etc in that last season when they went up.

Not as obvious as Wolves spending for example, but they did spend a decent amount.

On their profit and loss there is Promotion Costs of £11,894,213 and on page 22 of the accounts it explains what it is: ‘Following promotion to the premier league, the club was committed to pay promotion costs, including additional payroll costs arising in promotion’.

So basically, I read it that they paid nearly £12m in bonuses!!

Huddersfield’s wages were £4m more than ours at £21.7m (before those bonuses) despite turnover £1.5m less. Looking at that, makes it look less like the did it on a ‘budget’! I’m surprised with that!

Think we have sold more STs than Swansea will average next season.
Well your ground is far too big for you then because whenever you're shown on TV it's a blanket of empty seats. Ours is too small. Your average is what 25k, we'd do that easy but we can't facilitate the demand.

You won't average 17k next season sunshine much like last time you were in this league.

We've more or less sold that in season tickets. Give it up you're not worthy.
