Re: Expansion
Plus in the EFL you're only one win in the EFL Cup or two in the FA Cup away from potentially getting a PL team whose fans would see it as a great opportunity to knock off a ground they'd never otherwise go to. Even League 1 has some pretty big teams some of the time that could probably bring 950 (especially in the FA Cup on a Saturday).Main Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 8:50 pmI believe the away capacity will be around 950.

Re: Expansion
It’s best to have it when not needed than to need it & not have it…..Several teams will fill it per season & any decent cup games, Plus it’s a requirement.
Re: Expansion
No chance. Sutton's average home gate was 3,265, Salford's was 2,876 and Harrogate's 2,296. You might get a decent attendance from Swindon or Mansfield if they've got something riding on the game (particularly the latter, given the geography and it being the last game of the season).Big_Bluebird wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 9:13 pmSutton Harrogate and also Salford you’d imagineMain Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 8:50 pm

Re: Expansion
If history is anything to go by, it would most definitely be 'a few'!
Seriously though, times have changed and even with Morecambe potentially heading towards 'basket-case' status, am sure their fans will give us a reasonable away attendance.

Give over. The season is light years away. We haven't even had an opportunity to incur a few season long injuries in pre-season yet.
