Population of the Swansea Bay area is a lot higher than N.E. Lincs. They might be able to use 20,000 seats relatively often, but it would be pretty rare for us.

I've actually been to the Liberty Stadium, though not to see a game, and their conference facilities were something we will be aiming to copy if we ever build a new stadium or redevelop BP.

How about a 20k stadium like Swansea?  They have an 8-row lower tier, mid-level wheelchair spaces and a 16-row upper tier.  That's similar to the Findus Stand.

Also with a 2 tier stand, more advertising (revenue) space

Some people here are passionate about team selection and formation.  I am passionate about stadium design.

It was a mistake to build a stand twice the height of the rest of the ground.  There are now many generations of Town fans who think the matchday experience should involve gazing at the estuary for ninety minutes.

I suspect Tom Shutes was brought up watching matches from the Upper, as he was planning to make the same mistake with his docks stadium.  For maximum reverberation and atmosphere, all four stands should be the same height.

You must realise the club can't compete in the Championship and aim for the Premier League if it stays at Blundell Park.



As has been proven, the last paragraph isn’t strictly true is it…
