FFS - we all would love a better ground but put simply it is a winning and entertaining side brings in extra punters - sure you want the capacity to house them but this is a medium rather than a short term need.

Players with the entertainment value of Holmes and Pereira will add to the gate - not a thousand extra seats & when I see successive sell outs I will join the expansion now rants.
Holmes has gone, we couldn't retain his services or get a fair sell price because we are known as a hand to mouth  non progressive club with non league facilities.
Players only come here for a last meal ticket or to resurrect a faltering career, ie pereira, if he was ours to sell, do you think when tears up league 1 he wont be subjected to head turning interest from switched on clubs who have their acts together? Bidding will start at 60 grand but after negotiations an undisclosed fee of 90k with 10% sell on will be agreed this is what we've become due to our inability to grow our club.
Are we the only league 1 side never to have sold a player for £1m despite having several go onto play premiership football!
Peterborough have just turned down a £4m offer for a former Northampton school boy,
Had he played for us he wouldve gone months ago for undisclosed amount of shirt buttons, not because we dont know the value of players but other clubs know we cant hold out.
It all comes down to building up the club, foundations first, supporters base and corperate  interest will soon follow then the better players will be attracted and we will find ourselves starting the bidding at a £m plus.
