What's pissing me off in all this is that why we would just expand to 60,000 ... Arsenal's Emirates Stadium's capacity is 60,361 ... can we not fuck 400 more seats in there while we are doing it anyway and just cross them suckers too?

Pretty sure there is a final world domination stage mooted on that old massive thread on BM by those architect-types. A fourth, self-supporting tier all around. You cant become the world's biggest and best with 60,000.

However I'm nearly 53 and may not live to see that one.

I don't believe you become a world domination force by stooping to such petty concerns as Arsenal having 361 more seats than us.

Surely world domination is more about the marketable 'product' for TV across the globe than having the extra seats.

Have you seen the explosion of official partners we have now?

I don't even know what it fucking means in direct terms, but I am sure it's important and part of the Trixie and Dixie's plan.

We seem to have an official 'battery' in Indonesia or somewhere now. I'm looking forward to the day Soriano and Berigistain sort out an official 'curry house' in Manchester where you can get a 10% discount if you show your Membership Card, 20% if it's Platinum....

Exactly, and making that pay from merchandising and tv revenue is more proffitable than adding an extra few hundred seats.

What i expect will happen is that tier 2 of the north stand will cater more to the package trip fans from afar to increase further revenue (a bit like tier 2 of the kippax has been

I think it's more the plan of the owner and the Chairman than any employee to get partners on board.

If they want quick construction they should call in the Amazing Mystico and Janet. If you 'believe'

I don't think they'll move them if they are planning to offer £300 season tickets in those sections. You have to charge the same as home support so I imagine they'll stay where they are now
