West Ham are talking about phased expansion to 67k I believe.
We are not a top club and the sooner people come to accept that the better it will be for all concerned.
Exactly this, people are looking at 52k as if this is happening next season.
Come 5 seasons time:
1. Man City, West Ham will have increased capacity to over 60k
2. Clubs like Leicester and Wolves have talked about stadium expansion to around 50-55k
3. Chelsea will likely move stadium / expand stamford bridge
4. If Newcastle get a big takeover their owner very well could increase SJP
Come the opening of BMD we could be 9-10th biggest in the country.
52,000 might not get us any Uefa finals and it won't make us as attractive as Anfield in terms of big music concerts but I suppose I will have to get behind it now.
Anyone who seriously believes that the club intends to expand the stadium to 62,000 in 15 or 20 years' time is living in cloud cuckoo land.
We will be stuck with 52,000 forevermore. Let's just hope it's the best 52,000 stadium on the planet.
Results & success will determine thatBecause they'll always have an excuse as to why we can't expand to 62,000: We've not sold out every single game of the season or the economy is doing badly due to Brexit.
I would bet my life on us not going above 52,000.
So apparently an expansion will never happen. Yet virtually every stadium new or hold has been or has plans to be expanded as needed. Ok.
Great post but you missed out the RS.
Their Anfield Road redevelopment will take them to 61,000 or thereabouts.
And if/when England gets awarded the World Cup, which of the stadiums in this city will get awarded matches, the smaller stadium (ours) or the bigger one?
In a new stadium that waiting list will probably grow to over 20,000.52k is about right
The club say 10000 waiting list for st, that will be around 6 or 7000 that actually get one and an additional 5000 for general sale.
It's the right figure.
The money is in the corporate facilities but there isn't a massive demand for that here. People pay up to 1k a ticket at some clubs but no one will want to pay that here
....I suspect we could have 100k capacity and the answer will be the same to that one. Saying that, much will depend on where we stand as a team at that point in time and the look and facilities of our new build.
