Good to know its there if needed. Something rather astronomical would have to happen though to swell those gates in the next 5yrs. The reality is we're new to this league, and prospective kids still see us as little old Rovrum. The longer we stay, backed up by club community work I could see 16k happening not too sure about 20k, that would near on double the size of New York but what a wow factor that would be. What is certain is unless we do go to 16k and average 14 to 15 of that, our days in this league are numbered.

I still think the stadium is slightly too small. I think more room would welcome a few more hundred but its only hair splitting.

The other side of the coin is that the demand is not and wont be there unless we are a regular top 10 kinda side for 2-3 seasons.

Based on almost zero evidence Id say that if we were as good as say Brentford over the last 2 seasons we could pull in 10,200 home supporters.

I reckon thats about our limit.
