...tbh we still technically have a three sided stadium...and that frankly is an embarrassment to The PL...and us being in it!
I'm surprised its allowed

There are stands all the way around the pitch. 'Technically' I make that a four-sided stadium, whereas mega-bowls only have one ;-)...tbh we still technically have a three sided stadium...and that frankly is an embarrassment to The PL...and us being in it!
Think you'll find a plan of the actual stadium will only show three stands...so to me that is a three sided stadium!...There are stands all the way around the pitch. 'Technically' I make that a four-sided stadium, whereas mega-bowls only have one ;-)
You watch matches at the plan do you!? I'm sure a plan of the Parthenon doesnt show it technically as a ruin, but thats what it is!Think you'll find a plan of the actual stadium will only show three stands...so to me that is a three sided stadium!...
Unless you are a shareholder, Director, or Senior Management at the club, they don't have to.
They are not answerable to you, or any of us who do not fit those descriptions above.
It doesn't matter how many years you have supported the club, how many miles you have traveled, or even how much money you have put in buckets to keep the club running in the past.
In fact, they are almost certainly NOT free to send you monthly reports - that will be confidential information - for the eyes of those I have listed above only.
We all feel like it is "OUR" club - and we have invested in it in terms of blood sweat and tears - but we are at best, stakeholders, at worst, punters.
We do not own the club. Max and some Americans do. Liz and Neil are answerable to them, not us.
Well thanks for that! I think i'll just build a time machine and go back to 1960 and do a re-run of the journey - do not Pass Go...and side-step the Buckets!
The fact is know one knows and one the surveys your suggesting won't help but given our relatively large conurbation, as suggested by the club 22 - 25k will be ok. I agree we will not fill it to start with except for the bigger teams but there's no reason we can't match the likes of Cardiff, Watford, Huddersfield and Burnley long term.
Come on, rich people don't throw cash away. There will no doubt be tax avoidance... sorry incentive schemes that help spending huge sums.I don't disagree - I reckon we'd get 22k-24k in the prem for most games and probably 15k in the champ. The point I'm making is that even with 20k odd we won't increase the matchday income by enough to justify the investment if the figures of comparable clubs are anything to go by.
Whether the lack of support at cup games or the drop to one point for league games is an indication of our support is debatable but it is up to fans to keep up their side of the bargain and do what they can to show the support is there.
We are asking the owner to essentially throw cash away on this project and, with respect, the sense of entitlement of some on here and the cherries trust is questionable. I don't necessarily blame the CT for their position as I think the club have brought it on themselves with their dreadful communication. However, we aren't owed a new ground and the least we can do is meet them half way.

I really would like to buy a ticket but how many times every day do I log on trying to get a ticket? The ticket office aren't very helpful in terms of advice if you have zero points. So disheartening..I
I agree however if we can’t shift 3000 odd non season tickets then demand from existing fans isn’t as large as it appears
No they didn't. Brought the tickets as a bundle though as that's one of the few times I can go (excluding cup games)Not as far as I know.
Sorry Steve,The size of the ground, we all want to see built, will always be contentious, and is/has been/will be perhaps one of the biggest sticking points in its design... Trying to assess the demand for seats...
We can all spout 20k, 25k 30k etc. on here but the facts are what the club will need to 'largely' base their decision on, and the facts show that we don't warrant anything larger than maybe 20k, at a push.
If you want to gamble on the conurbation, and lets not forget the football tourists etc. then 25k is the absolute limit IMO, but week in-week out, I would have thought we could regularly achieve 15-17k max, and that's with upping the away attendance to a possible 3k. I just don't feel we have the people here that are bothered about us, or footbal in general.... and this isn't a bad thing... I don't give 2 sh*ts that we've got a piss poor following, in relation others...
We're never going to be huge, and I still sometimes travel to certain grounds, having had to park miles away, walk forever, be miles away from the pitch with zero atmosphere, and worse of all, spend an age to get home form the ground again... and I actually think to myself how great the current DC is...
Better to be smaller, with packed 'fans' than huge, with tourists, randoms and shocking atmospheres... IMO of course
I'm sure a plan of the Parthenon doesnt show it technically as a ruin, but thats what it is!
