Ah well - it pays for every seat there being padded - have you seen them.
They look ace.
I think with a 60,000 stadium the reds could hand out 45,000 season tickets.
2-4 thousand for the away fans.
Just been doing some quick sums, and I reckon a 15,000 increase in capacity to 60,000. Assuming average attendance 57,500 would add £400,000 each game. I don't know what the average 'extra' spend is. Say another £2 each, and some extra sales for the store (say working out at £1 per fan?).
My conservative estimates call it an extra £440,000 per game. With 25 home games per season thats an extra £10 million a season. I am sure my estimates are on the low side.
They should have got a loan when it was only going to be £80 million. It would probably have nearly been paid off by now!!!
Gonna have a sit down now - my brain hurts.
