A new stadium certainly worked for Hull.  They were getting gates of 4000 and now they are getting 16000-23000

If the capacity is upped you should always go to atleast 22000 if poss as thi will qualify you for b rated internationals. Ladies/U21's etc.

Swindon will never get a stadium like that... if they did, the council will insist on putting roundabouts on the centre circle,


 

I just want the whole stadium fiasco to end asap and then the club will know how and when it can move forward

I'm going to watch Bedford play Peterborough in a friendly this afternoon, Barry Fry lives in Bedford and managed them in the 70's so with the connections they come down quite often.
I saw Bobby Barnes play in a friendly there in 93.

Anyway, it is also to officially open the new 500k clubhouse, also a new stand will shortly commence being built. If they can do this (Southern Premier League level) and make lots of money from renting it out which is how small clubs keep going then hopefully Swindon can eventually revamp the CG to get more income, it's the only way forward.

Definitely. We need the money that comes from owning a football ground desperately. I just wish we could have it as easy as Hull and others have done!
But then jealousy is a sin!
