League positions can never be taken for granted, therefore all teams must expect fluctuating fortunes, its what makes the game great.
But having the opportunity to give our club the chance to compete with the likes of Cov luton mk and also posh and oxford both on the pitch and in match day ticket sales/ corperate income and other revenues raised during the week.
Other than little stevenage, I can safely say we lag along way behind the others which should be rectified as a matter of urgency.
As supporters we know we’re not going to the Prem or sustain a high league level with the ground as it is, as you say. So the standard of our ground stirs up a fair bit of emotion for us. The trouble is Beds is we ain’t owned by supporters. We can’t sell the ground out at the moment, so as an investor, chucking millions on raising the capacity is somewhat unattractive. If you have any sort of business accumen you need some sort of plan for a return on investment? In all the arguments you’ve made for redevelopment I don’t see anything as an investor that would make me part with my money. All I see is lots of clubs with white elephant stadiums. God knows what the motivations were for some of them. I suspect an impending court case will shed some light on some of the perks that may be available to those of a certain disposition? We would need to be regularly selling the ground out before I would even consider investing to the levels you suggest. Don’t get me wrong, as a supporter there is nothing I would like more than a stadium to be proud of that offers potential. As an investor not a chance would I do anything until the capacity impacts on revenue, which it currently doesn’t.
