Please let this thread die !

Schards has invented his own arguement which he has 'won' so he's happy.

The rest agree that the main issue around expansion is so obvious to not require a debate.

There is no reason to stir up the cartoon style animosity that broke out a couple of weeks ago.

This thread will live for ever in my memory as the point at which Schards became the greatest living debater in hobnob history.

Riseley One millisecond of thought and my own eyes tell me that the figures from the club are in the Jacob Grimm envelope.

Only because the rest died of boredom and therefore were ineligible for the title...

Apparently we are so close to capacity for every game that we have no need for ridiculous £1 per kid schemes adopted by other poorly supported clubs.

Advocacy for the devil is not my full-time job. I am also President of the Royal Lady Appreciation Society and a committee member of the British Dyslexia Association or BAD as we like to be known as.

A bit worrying......... that this thread is still dying! Still Newcastle and Arsenal game sell outs have proved Schards to be correct. Doh!

Agreed.

With just 24,119 hardy souls dotted around the vast expanses of empty seating (and a similar disaster just around the corner for our televised encounter with the Arse :? ) the current drop in demand could become the sort of nightmare that Northern Rock only narrowly escaped thanks to those bright chaps in financial services.

At least 400+ empty seats on Saturday-Many in the upper West. Must have been at least seven coach breakdowns and possibly Woodcote's helicopter suffered technical faults. Tis the only possible "sell out" explanation.

Please let this thread die with dignity. Schards easily won the argument. No further posts are required.

Plenty of scope for egg on faces here methinks. Couple of places up the league and we'll see them all come flocking back. Expansion in the summer is a must if this club is to take the Premiership seriously.

I advocated waiting to see how this season panned out before deciding on the expansion.

I then pointed out that demand had fallen which wasn't a good sign.

Several toys came out of several prams about that suggestion.

Games didn't sell out, kids for a quid schemes were invoked, the ticket office commented that it was getting harder to sell tickets.

The question of whether demand has fallen has been answered.

The question of whether to expand remains open and should do until the end of the season, unless we are relegated before then at which point it should be torn up immediately.
