The capacity increase needs to be a priority now really 1 and 2 good seasons and we are in a mess ,turning people away .

We dont want to be saying in over a years time if we get the fixtures and its :Lincoln , Sheff Weds , Hull and Rotherham 'we told you so '
I think then we would just max out season tickets on the fear of people missing out .

It could be small problem ,that could potentially be a bigger one not too far away .

Dont understand how people cant see this ,ironically they would probably be the ones moaning when they cant get a ticket .

Isn't the priority getting a side together that will challenge fro promotion at the earliest opportunity?

I think priorities can co-exist together
I mean some people would probably say leave the training ground and just spend 5 mill on the team but then you still would be at cheapside and maybe in league 1 ,but where then ?

I like the idea of incremental improvement and love the job Jason and Andrew are doing but think the increase in capacity is something that needs to be looked at sooner rather than later

Quoted from Yarborough Vaults
Buying a ST in a prime spot and then not going to matches is just like putting a towel on a sunbed first thing and then doing something else for the day instead of using it.

Now I'm among many forced to sit in the shade near the bins while looking wistfully at an empty lounger by the pool!


Nah it was more like getting a gym membership in January as part of a New Years Resolution.
The scramble for season tickets in august soon hit reality in December after our crap home form and cold weather

I completely understand JS viewpoint regarding a new stadium its clear he isn't going to fork out from his own pocket which is understandable, but for me if we dont get a new stadium you dont get renewed fan interest in GTFC, what we have achieved so far is amazing but you are never going to get a complete sellout (every single seat) unless either capacity is increased or a new spanking stadium for loads to attend and see.

I think getting a new stadium ( haven’t a clue how it’s financed) is a bit l like getting a new manager bounce, attendances increase due to better facilities, seating etc. if you look at all those clubs that have got a new stadium in the last 20 years I would hazard a guess that the majority are in a higher league with increased attendances then prior to moving, (obviously scunny are the exception 🤣).
