Ken Aries 0 Posted December 2, 2004 According to Andrew Cullen in the EDP the other week,we could sell-out at 35,000 every home game.If that is so,it''s such a pity our stadium''s capacity is rather limited.It also set me thinking that with a potential 35,000 crowd we are no longer a "small club".35,000 would rival many of the present Premiership club''s attendances,and even exceed a few of them.

Archie 0 Posted December 2, 2004 I think it would be silly to build a new stadium - that would cost upwards of 30million i should think, the chances are that we would rarely be able to consistently attract more that 35,000. well there''s another 5,000 for the jarrold i think, another 5,000 on top of the main stand, elsewhere i''m sure tooi would prefer to knock down a stand and build a bigger one than move to a new stadium, no doubt called ''digital phones stadium'', that would be awful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently it is possible to put a tier on top of the city stand and I think I''m right in saying you could do something extra with the South stand (or did I dream that???)That should take you to around 35,000 quite easilly, which should be sufficient for a while, that''s only slightly smaller than Anfield.

kdncfc 0 Posted December 2, 2004 We are in a very good position in that we don''t have another pro football team for 40 miles which gives us a very large catchment area. I never have really felt we were a small club in terms of potential of support but to a degree the powers that be have over the years been happy to be thought of as little old Norwich. We are never going to be a Manure but there is no reason why we shouldn''t be able to compete with the Middlesboroughs of this world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It''d catch on eventually... that is if it ever happened, they''re doing alot of work at FCR, so it would appear they''re planning to stay for a while...

Notts Canary 0 Posted December 3, 2004 I think the fact that we have a grand total of 1.2 million to spend on players demonstrates that we are still very much a small club!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
