I only hope that this dream does not turn into a mini nightmare for them.
The facts are that with the current capacity to take only 1150 away fans in a temporary stand with no roof and little catering facilities is soon going to attract negative publicity from those that visit there and I hope that the media don't pick up this. Unfortunately, the great away day that some are looking forward to is going to be limited to season card holders with a zillion points.
Their fans are all looking forward to trips to Manyoo, Arse, Chelski, Spuds etc, but how will they take the eventual realization that tickets for all these games (even Fulham) will cost them at least £50 each and probably take place on Monday nights or Sat/Sun evenings?
With respect to the cash they will now generate, well the first £20mill will go straight to the Oyston family to repay the personal loans they have made to the club over the years, they will also build a new stand, create a proper training facility ...... and then Holloway will be given just £8million to spend on players and wages.
They are already planning to go down with a bundle of cash and parachute payments that will stabilise them as a Premiership club for the next 20 years and provide security without a benefactor.
Good luck to them ...... they will need it.
Relax ... It's only a message board in hyperspace!!
