    "But he pointed out that it cost about £2,500 per seat in a “new build”, so it would cost £20m to increase capacity by 8,000.

    City would lose £1.4m in gate income from lost capacity while building work was in progress and it would take nine years to pay back the building cost "

     

    The problem we have is too many fans are living in the past, romancing about days of yore when grounds were filled with flat capped supporters whose gate money was virtually the clubs only source of income.

     

    Last season the clubs income was around £75m, previous receipts suggest that gate money will be around £7m. Increasing capacity by 20% will only increase that amount by 20% ie £1.75m.

     

    Cost of construction plus projected losses through lower capacity £21.4m.  At a relatively low interest rate of 9% (£1.92m) that return does not cover the interest payments, leaving us with a £20m plus debt.

     

    Again this assumes every game will sellout. They aren''t at 27,000 - and that is with very reduced prices.

     

    The simple fact is football has left many behind and it is a hard fact to grasp.

     

    We need to look to the future, not ape our not too bright neighbours by constantly clinging on to the past.
