It be good if they could lower the roof on the new stadium so if it was lower attended game  it would still keep the atmosphere decent. So in effect changing the capacity to suite.

Not sure 65k is enough, you could fill that just with new ST holders. 

 

We currently have around 30k season ticket holders. You really think we'd easily sell another 35k after the inevitable price hike next year?

 

No chance IMO. 65k would be absolutely fine going forward. Another 13k STs sold through the increase and the rest going to general/members sale. Any more than that and it will be to the detriment of the atmosphere and leave the ground looking silly for things like League Cup ties.

It's very difficult to judge crowd sizes in the future, 20/30yrs from now we will be under new owners who maybe another Ashley or the present young ones such as the just stop oil pillocks and the equivalent who will be in power then may well reduce stadium attendances or prevent people from moving from one area to another.

Does the 52 whatever thousand include those in corporate, or does it just include seats in the ground? I'm sure there'll be health and safety limiting the amount, and it's not the solution to expanding the ground, but could/does new/upgraded boxes increase the ground capacity?

Rooftops seems like a pretty cool "private" event venue within the stadium for after hours or on random days where they don't have matches for people to have parties, business related events etc. Seems a bit too high-end for you everyday match-goer.

Honestly don't think I'd like to watch the match in that environment 

Aren’t the actual seats just outside though? 
 

Where @NE27 used to sit?

 

So, you’re paying the premium for the before and after, rather than what you get for when the match is actually on?

That's what I'm getting at. I was lucky enough to get into a box for a fixture and really enjoyed it but I'm not sure I'd like to be there for a full season. Quite like being in the cheap seats, I don't think I move in those circles tbh. I certainly wouldn't fit in

Had a pint at pre season in the east and the young lad who pulled it must have worked in an ice cream shop through the week.

Probably, aye. Even so, it's just not me.

It seems like the perfect venue for the club or corporate clients to entertain, and decent enough seats to get a feel of the place but otherwise I think it's hella expensive for 1 bloody match.
