Not if Delia is serious about the club being for the community etc..

Expand to 35,000 - slash the cost of ticket prices and get the next generation hooked and becoming part of the community club. Rather than being priced out, or not being able to get tickets and just experiencing their football through Sky and the Premier League giants.

There's not enough demand to sel 30,000+ tickets at £40+ a pop while we're struggling in the Championship. If they were significantly cheaper or we were doing well in the Prem, there certainly would be.
