surely expanding the capacity will be a waste of time considering that we can bearly get a full house for any games apart from top 4 and even chelsea tickets were available the day before. the £ should be invested into the team instead of putting it towards empty seats!

[brendywendy]

yawn

surely this could have gone on the million other expansion threads

[premiership_bound]

for oxf*rd sake. where do all these prats come from.

[Readingfanman]

Please go away and stop wasting my time with your indepth analysis of Reading FC structure and finances, I just can't cope with the amazing originality of your post.

Only 1 pound available for investment??? No wonder people are unhappy!

Thirty points needed by Xmas otherwise the development will not go ahead. fact.

[who are ya?]

Long term plan of 38,000 is way too much. Fact.

30 points by Christmas???????????I doubt very much that is a fact...that would indicate we would be in or around 6th place to have accumulated that number of points by then....I would be very surprised if that is a primary factor behind said plans being shelved.

An interesting theory but I'm not sure that the board would use that criteria.

Imagine if we are on 29 points on December 23rd then win our Boxing Day game !

I think our league position around the turn of the year could be a factor though.

oxf*rd off oxf*rd off oxf*rd off oxf*rd off oxf*rd off

[PEARCEY]

Sure if we are struggling at the turn of the year then you can see the expansion being shelved but thats a world away from an arbitary figure of 30 points which may take a lot longer than Christmas to get to...and thats not being negative merely realistic.

Someone I know who is working on the project

If only there were a club policies forum where this sort of thing could be discussed incessantly.

JM told Sky Sports website a few weeks back that the stadium expansion would go ahead only if we were comfortably mid table at Christmas time.

[PEARCEY]

Sure but that does not necessarily equate to 30 points which we did not hit until after beating West Ham on New Years day last season...so we will have to do better than last years heroics then if what your saying is correct.

He's probably the most relieved man in Reading at the moment.
