I don't want to move from our ground either, city may have issues coming up who knows? My point is I want to see us progressing and the only way that's going to happen is under a rich owner.
Same design is holding Bramall Lane roof up.
That’s my concern - effectively I’d miss a season?
I agree. I go to watch football. It could be lots swisher, but I do other things for that.
If they can do it without closing the stand during the season then obviously that would be fine.
It's a good idea but the costs aren't sustainable for us. It's cost Liverpool 80million, however 5200 of the seats will be general admission at £60 a game and 1800 will be hospitality which at Anfield is £500 a game and a lot of it much more. So they will make the best part of 1.5m per game, so with league, cup and Europe they make it back in 2 years and know it will be full for ever basically. It would take us a lifetime to make that back as we can't charge as much and we certainly don't have the hospitality demand and then on top of that we might not even need the extra seats to sell so it becomes a huge loss. Its basically a complete non starter which is very unfortunate.
One of the biggest and most common complaints, is usually directed at the food and beverage services. Under the Kop is an ideal place to make these facilities more permanent.
Sorry just seen this. I’m laughing to myself here. 40k demand for big games from
I suspect for more casual fans the amount of fucking about and hoops the club makes them jump through to buy a ticket puts a lot off. With more seats available hopefully the club would relax the requirements for tickets.
AFAIA, every game has sold out this season.
Strongly disagree. If, and this is a big ask, United maintained a Premiership position a 40k stadium would be fine. Away supporters could have upwards of 5k, the rest to season ticket holders and "casual " game ticket purchases.
He's twisting the sell outs - but it doesn't tell the whole story anyway. When you approach capacity with single and restricted view seats, selling them becomes much more difficult. A this point you're after the day trippers, who care much more about where they sit, and sitting with other people.
I can't see Sheffield Council going for that one, some people stood up a bit during a football match and they closed half the kop for a season.
I'm fairly confident that the "amount of fucking about and hoops" is not the club's choice, it will probably be a council requirement as part of the safety authorisations.
And to avoid away fans buying in the home sections
i will be honest neither do I. However the new stadium at York "York Community Stadium" that replaced Bootham crescent at a different site cost £44.2million for a 8,000 all seater 4 stands job based on that a development of the Kop will easily be in 10s of millions £. That stadium was completed nearly 3 years ago prior to the interest rates rise and other costs etc.
That cost includes the attached housing and retail developments, as does the £70m for Brentford's new ground. I would imagine though that United would be looking at £20-50m to rebuild a stand at Bramall Lane depending on the amount of work they want to do.

I know countless people who won't go unless they can sit with someone, or a group. This is much easier with 10,000 - 15,000 spare seats, as the pigs should well know.
The same happens in all sorts of areas of life - at gigs, in restaurants, even in churches - capacity is pretty much never achieved.He's twisting the sell outs - but it doesn't tell the whole story anyway.

It just makes me laugh how we think we can suddenly sell 40k out when we can’t sell 30k. For me get the playing side right and maintain premier league status THEN look at extending the capacity of the stadium. Not other way round Ffs
Could be something to do with not being able to buy tickets unless you bleed red & white.
I don't know why people can't understand this point.He's twisting the sell outs - but it doesn't tell the whole story anyway.

Tell me what’s attendance twisting is .. The capacity is just over 32k. We haven’t hit this figure yet. 2800ish away fans. And highest recorded attendance is 31,300ish. Man City. So .. where’s twist ?
Because the Palace game officialy 'sold out' with a smaller attendance.
Including away support (like every other club) we’re averaging 31000 so far this season. Are you saying we couldn’t get any more home or away supporters to attend?It just makes me laugh how we think we can suddenly sell 40k out when we can’t sell 30k.
