And I bet they all sat there nodding like Churchill dogs at the altar of the almighty Cardoza.
Seriously, if we've waited nearly 8 years for a bigger dining room and a couple of corporate boxes, that will be extremely sad.
I might be a bit simple but:
1. We do not fill the ground currently so capacity isn't really the immediate issue
2. Redevelopment has always been, in the first instance, about "enabling monies"
3. One way to get "enabling monies" is to increase your corporate facilities so that the ground is usable on a more than match-days basis
4. Our current corporate facilities leave very much to be desired (i.e. we effectively do not have any)
So I don't know why anyone is surprised. Corporate facilities mean the club gets income on non-match days and potentially can reinvest that money further down the line. That said I don't expect we'll see much in the way of immediate re-investment. Until such time as we're regularly at the top of L1 or in the Championship there really isn't a need to expand the ground capacity.
That said, some reinvestment in to the currently existing facilities wouldn't go a miss to make the match-day experience a bit more enjoyable
