I see Forest have put in a small temporary construction between their stands (four tiers of exec box + seats it looks like) - is there opportunity to do something like that while the Cobbold is being rebuilt? As in, demolish the whole thing but then add a Gillingham style scaffold structure (for away fans?) while building carries on around it? Reducing capacity at a time when demand for tickets has never been higher is quite the conundrum. |  |

I've not known anything like it!!
In 1992 Had no problem on a match by match basis
In 2000 again very little problem making games either home or away despite by then living in the North East with limited opportunity for Portman Road games.
Yet now in 2024 - no chance whatsoever in the on line scramble dance for every game.
Probably have to get relegated before I have any chance of getting into PR again. [Post edited 30 Sep 2024 22:10]

You could be forgiven for thinking the average fan is better off, financially, than 20/30 years ago.
I'll get my coat. |  |

This is so true and is exactly why Bournemouth will spend £40.2m on a striker and not expand their tinpot stadium.
The fact the ownership want to expand the stadium is striking, given that Bournemouth and Brentford will happily stay at under £20,000 for as long as they can. A redeveloped Cobbold will add value to a potential club sale in the future, but they won't make their money back in gate receipts, hospitality etc. for a very long time. |
Frankly Brentford and Bournemouth's grounds are an embarrassment. There should be some kind of rule that incentivizes building a new stadium or stands to meet basic capacity requirements. |  | | |

That is the price of success,I remember having a season ticket In the south stand,when they moved the north stand supporters into it while they were rebuilding the north stand.They all seemed to fit them in somewhere.
I think what is making it harder to get tickets now is the fact that more families are going to games than 20+ years ago.Less are available.
Plus the fact going to the football is seen as a family day out now,but I dread to think how much it costs a family of say four to go once you add the whole day out.
Once they rebuilt the North Stand I had a seat in the upper stand,and a family of four told me they never had holidays or days out,they saved all their money for going to the football,both home and away. [Post edited 1 Oct 2024 6:54]
