Another thing we know is that as BP is now it wouldnt be possible to grow it another 10% due to lack of seats -numerically for whatever reason the capacity is out as its 8400 (every seat sold for the forrest game ) and not the official 9000 stated capacity .

Quoted from Mappers
What we dont know is if a higher number of fans not attending now is :
- they dont come because of the facilities
-there arent anymore there and we have maxed out

What we do know based on this season
-we have 7k people willing to buy a ticket for  every home game (even though about 10% roughly of ST holders dont turn up per matchday )
-Over the last two seasons the home average attendance has grown roughly 25% to what it was in that championship season stated above .


5.7k season tickets - not 7k

Someone made a good point earlier - if we get another 5 years out of the Main Stand for this £350k, then £70k a year doesn’t sound too unreasonable, especially if it reduces the chances of the thing going up in flames.

What people should understand is that the Main Stand is a Fire Death Trap. The insurance goes up insanely every year, and it cannot be that long before the EFL ask Grimsby Town to shut it down.
That's before you think about how rubbish it is in viewing a game, especially on Saturdays when the sun is in your eyes.

I suspect the £350K is to get rid of Woodworm, Deathwatch Beetles and Dry Rot.(I made that up)  but I'm amazed its lasted all these years. But its time for it to go.

Who knows, maybe it’ll cost 350K every season from now on?

Exactly this the game has changed so much , clubs get bigger gates generally if you look back to when we where getting low crowds in the champ a few teams averages for the 2000-2001 season:
Rotherham Utd -5652
Wrexham-3952
Hull city -6676
Swansea -4913
Brentford-4645
Bournemouth -4403
Plymouth -4945


And look at what attendances those clubs get now ,its a flawed argument to say we would never get bigger crowds if we went back through now ,there are even more examples of clubs who's gates have taken a big upturn .
We can only speculate that we would get bigger crowds with a better stadium but looking at the clubs that have , on the whole its meant an upturn in both league position and attendances .







I’d imagine Brighton’s attendances have grown 5-fold.

I wonder if its worth Jason and Andrew talking to Carl Ross about an investment in his home club. I know F***ty. approached him once which was rejected ( no surprise there ) but 1878 are a different kettle of fish altogether.

We could call the new ground or refurbished Blundell Park.
