So few people seem to understand this is nothing about a new stadium because we need a bigger capacity, at present anyway.

It is about building for the future, creating a stadium and surrounds that generate revenue for us on a daily basis rather than once per fortnight. It is about having a stadium that could be multi-use, such as for gigs, and not just for matches. It is about creating more revenue, so we can better compete, and then we *may* need a bigger capacity, and if that happens we then already have it when we need it rather than needing to plan, build and wait years for it once the time comes.

It may not happen, it may not be needed, but PW refusing to just accept we are a small club with a limited ceiling is why we are now establishing ourselves as a L1 club with Championship ambitions rather than just being a NL club hoping of one day making the EFL. And if he now has the ambition to kick us on to the next level, I am not going to question it.

Edit: I understand and agree with the concerns over it being a horrible soulless bowl like everywhere else, and losing the terrace (not that I ever use it), but the rest of it strikes me as being a big positive, and a potentially exciting next step in the future of our club.
