Maybe we should try and get promoted to the Championship?

It isn't quite that simple though....in order to get a decent crowd we have to be competing, at the top end of the Div 2 table...the last time this happened was v MBoro in November 97. Going into it the teams were 2nd and 3rd, not sure which way round....crowd of 15,000 at the CG...we lost and fell away and didn't get such a decent crowd again, before relegation. |

Digby noooooooooooo. That kick.....  It was a rapid decent down the league for therein wasn't it. I can honestly say I have no idea what our average crowd would be if we made the Championship. 10-11K max is my guess. |

You only have to look at Reading to see how the gates swelled once improvements were in place. |

Getting the new facilities right is key but is well tricky. Swansea, Reading and a lot of others show it must be a good thing. Darlington, Coventry, Oxford and a lot of other show it isn't! Not sure what make a good redevelopment and what makes a bad one myself! Good job it isn't down to me:) |

Having 4 sides is a good start. |
