The last time we dragged in over 20k was probably the Chelsea match in 2008.

To build a bigger stadium would be daft.

There's around 3000 empty seats in the North stand going begging on Friday night if they segregated it....... Bloody Madness imo.
Well we can either STICK or TWIST.
We can stick with the awkward not fit for purpose stadium that dosent equate to more people wanting to visit Oakwell - and hence dosent bring in the revenue to make success on the field more likely.

Or we can twist and build something that looks fabulous and brings in more support.
I think the directors will be weighing up the risks and opportunities.

As for the North Stand - I along with most supporters thought it was great when it was built.
In hindsight it’s an horrible design.
Just a huge block of seats that has little flexibility.
