Quoted from TheFryingSquad
Against?  Capacity versus actual.  If you’re right and I’m wrong I’ll swallow it, will you?


A. You misunderstand what a sell out is (all tickets sold) versus  attendance (which will never, ever match the tickets sold) and are thinking they are the same thing.

B. Failing to reach an illusory capacity figure that can never be reached is not 'damning evidence'.

Facts are we are currently losing customers due to overpriced poor view seating / people not being able to get a seat together etc. Another point to a new stadium is the quality of the match day experience be it corporate or even just the fact of being able to have a pint and go to the toilet with ease. Those with new stadia have attractions that keep family’s entertained and spending money not just for 90 minutes but make it an experience that lasts hours - all driving extra revenue for the playing budget. Sadly we don’t have a billionaire investor nor a council that’s ever been remotely interested although that’s not a knock at the current owners who are doing a good job so far.

The lads are doing great ,no doubting them from me .

Its good we can even have this debate / conversation

Remember when we were told we were "punching above our weight ' being 7th in the conference .

And that we would 'only ever have a 4k hardcore fanbase '

The lads have helped changed that ,along with us the fans , Paul , the trust , the coaching staff and others .

We need to have higher aspirations continually and not ever go back to being drawn down to the  'little old Grimsby Town ' mentally forever .

We are not and we can rise and fill any additional capacity .

Quoted from ska face


Propaganda? Have a word with yourself for fùcks sake, you’re absolutely unhinged. Not sure saying in a Q&A that there isn’t an enormous case for a new ground to be a burning priority, on the basis of 18-months of attendance figures, counts as propaganda.



Propaganda
1. information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.

Saying we’re not regularly selling out home games and quoting the entire ground capacity (including away end and seats lost to segregation) to justify that when every home seat is sold for the majority of games is misleading.

It’s not just AP who has done this and not just at the Fan Forum (which I’ve actually not listened to).

Hursty and the team doing their best to resolve the lack of capacity issue lol.

Needs to start playing his strongest side and see if THEY are good enough, not fringe players to see if they are  - that question has now been answered I'm sorry to say.
