Not a criticism, but what capacity would you increase the ground to?

Realistically what would we sell out frequently enough to make it worthwhile.
Expansion costs a lot of money and takes a LONG time to pay off that capital expense.

Personally I don't think we need much more than another 5k at most do we?

Do we want to be one of those teams that often plays to lots of empty seats?

Does that match up with where we can actually increase capacity in the ground now.
As I Understand it the only real options now are a tier on the Jarrold or city stand, both would be massive projects and probably give us too many seats.
