What do you think MA has in mind for capacity to make us financially equipped to remain competitive. My gut is telling me 40,000. That would be some stand. We have 6000 on the waiting list, would 40k be over-egging it or a more sustainable level to future proof the club for regular PL football. History obviously weighs heavy in regards previous expansions.

Actually my point on the main news post was indeed related to the escalating costs.
Surely we should learn from history and not stretch ourselves to expand all in one go? I and all of us had to live those Marcus Evans years he who bought our club because we were SKINT when we built the new stands after 1 year in the Prem. |
All risk is on the ownership group, their shares will go up or down in value. The club is operated with almost 0 debt. It is very different to when the club itself funded development in the past. [Post edited 18 Dec 12:43]

No debt is admirable. I don't know everyone is posting upsides but we aren't in the Premiership, look a bit of it this season and theres no guarantees. I guess this makes me a glass half empty kinda guy. Like Bournemouth, Brentford, Wolves, Fulham spend all their cash on players it seems to me. There is more often than not a side effect of costings associated with very large ground upgrades.
But Ashton knows the drill. I'd expect us to green light the upgrade only after promotion. |  |

We have just restructured to bring the next big investor in, a group who will pay for the work. Once we secure one the work will happen whatever division we are in. Now that we have spent big on the training ground the Ipswich project is long term. | | | |
