Some interesting facts in that table, only 19 clubs are into double figures for seasons in the premier league, out of 25 seasons,  I'd have said Leeds had played in more than they have, yes they were in L1 for a few seasons but they were also a top side when the premier league started.

 

 

You mention the fact Leeds were in L1 for a "few seasons" (three) but also either side of this they spent many years in the champ, quite obvious statement for me to make it just seems odd you refer to their league one status straight away.

 

 

 

we desperately need to pull away from the relegation zone though. Wigan the big surprise for me in that table. Well played to them

[Bob Weasel Fox]

This needs to be pushed big time for me

 

if we don't tap into the potential we might later regret it

 

come on City get it done

Got told by one of the hospitality guys during the Bournemouth game the club have started discussing plans internally.

Looks like it could happen in the near future!

Now that we have done another 2 years plus survival why haven't the poll numbers changed. Is it not live anymore?

I want a season ticket again.

He was saying it would add another few thousand. So whatever you deduce from that 

But they also plan to revamp hospitality, including having a suite catered for away fans

Liverpool increased Anfields capacity by 8,500 seats and it cost them £75m. That's the sort of price I assume we will be looking at.

Yeah but they bought 10000 scabby terraces at a tenner a piece and knocked them down plus built a road through the middle

That price was to do with the structure of the design and the stand they built on is very old. Saying that if we are adding executive boxes across the middle tier then it could become costly

If we wanted to increasec significantly, might be worth considering a new build!

Theirs is only about 21,000 capacity now

[Bob Weasel Fox]

We are in danger of being left behind if we don't sort this out and soon

 

short term blinkered thinking if we don't expand

I suppose even Watford with their generally poor support realise you must expand the stadium if you ever wish to expand the support
