    Turning away potential revenue does not make any economic sense.We have increasing season ticket sales,sponsorship has got bigger and hospitality take up is greater than ever.THINK POSITIVE.

    eh? is that home fans or including away, the avg last season was 10,515
    we have averaged more than 8000, in all but the first year at NYS (excluding covid season), and season before last we had reduced capacity due to Don St work.

Maybe its time the clubs shuffles people a few seats along on a row, to create groups of empty seats for newcomers.
    I don't see any problem with that if it's the same row, everyone would just need to move across one seat, as long as they are moving towards the centre of the stadium then I don't think most people would have a problem with it.

    Trust me I have far more idea than you do, you don't have a clue. You remember when the Millers went t*ts up, and were 'rescued' by a local businesses how much did you chuck into the pot to keep us afloat.

    Anyway, you have ignored that fact that everyone wants you to f off the board?

    I’d be very surprised to see any expansion given current build costs and interest rates.

    1st step should be to do as fc miller suggests and review the database.

    It would take 1 person a couple of weeks to move people a couple of seats along.

    It would make a massive difference and free up blocks of seats for families to buy.

    Exactly, we should be looking to expand hospitality too.

    Maybe they could start with just those that want to buy a seat on the same row as friend or family but seat is not next to them, club asks the seat owners to move along one. That way you aren't event trying to pair empty seats up.
