This is my favourite bit, absolutely superb:
Exactly and from here on in I doubt that we (Wednesdayites) will ever have the right to fully utilise the Leppings Lane end again. As it stands with a wave of optimism for the future running through the club, Our capacity (for Wednesdayites) is probably around the 30K mark give or take a few. With demand outstripping supply even by as little as 25% this would mean we needed, needed not wanted, the capacity for home fans of at least 45K. OK lets be conservative and say the 38.5K we had in on Saturday. However, with the Mancs, Lancs, Geordies and Midland sides waiting in the wings, not to menton local derbies all would be elligable for the entire allocation of away seats in the Leppings Lane under current SYP, SAG and football authority guidelines. That little lot could equate to half of our home programme each year.
To wait while we consolidate is the question, but what would be the cost of waiting these three or four seasons while we try and consolidate ? Assuming 9 fixtures per year with a 50K capcity sold 90% of that capacity 45k as oppsed to our current 38K. This equates to 7,000 extra fans at 9 games X 4 seasons =more than five and a half million quid.
