The relevance has me lost.

" intimate and intimidating"?

Small?

Wouldn't have thought so.

I thought that meant more 'close to the pitch and steep'.

Juventus atmosphere in new stadium...

I'm pretty sure that's the dockside design H&dM came up with for Portsmouth before the club went bankrupt. I remember thinking at the time it looked very ambitious for a club that size.

Is it possible to add another 20k seats and keep that steepness?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I think in the last accounts we had matchday revenue of ~£18m. For me, the aim of a new stadium has to be to get as many people in it as possible and to raise that revenue significantly.

As a back of a fag packet argument, to get that money from the current stadium requires around £450 in income per seat, per season. Lets say we had a 60,000 stadium, we could get £24m in revenue with just £400 per seat, per season. The revenue from match day pales in comparison to broadcast revenue, so lets get the old girl full every week, even if means tickets are cheaper.

OFcourse.

Agreed. Getting them there is the important bit. Giving them options to spend on a variety of choices as a part of the "overall footballing experience on the day" will be far more lucrative than the price of the ticket.

 

[kithnou]

OFcourse.

Remains to be seen.

Yep, a bit of Googling shows my memory hasn't failed me.....

Been told there will be no announcement on the 14th March, been put back on account there are finer details that need to be sorted, before the announcement can be made,
so the fume can now go into overdrive.

You've been told this have you mate.

This thread is an absolute magnet for jarg ITK mania. Love it.
