Build a bigger stadium.

Our problem has always been how well supported we are, it's crazy in this day and age we do not have a stadium adequate enough to meet the needs of the fans. We need at least a 90,000 seater stadium.
I went to visit the Nou Camp recently and was surprised that the grojnd level outside the stadium isnt the level that the pitch is on. The pitch is sunk and the ground is essentially built in a hole if that makes sense.
The only reason we havent regenerated the stadium is because our current owners want money for themselves.
The last regeneration, the quadrants, was done when the club was still owned by Magnier and McManus and the rest of the fans. Disgraceful really.

Yeah, I just have heard no one else say they got so many off the website. It seems more likely that people couldn’t get any at all. It just struck me as odd that you got so many!
I did two rounds. 3 the first time, 2 the second. There shite teams. Wanted Everton and Wolves. Ended up with Burnley, Palace, Shef Utd, Watford and Southampton. Will try again on the next release.

Ah fair enough. Burnley for example will be easy because it is a midweek game. Well done for getting through.

Would you prefer a ballot method to getting all the games?

Anyone suggesting "build a bigger ground" is missing the point. You can't give them away when we are playing certain teams.

The way the club dishes out the tickets is just flawed. Name me one other club that drops tickets one day in July, with no loyalty points and then re-drops at completely random intervals.

With membership you will be sound to get ticket for the vast majority of games without too much fuss, likely nearer the time.

Not sure, I think the membership is hampered by the fact that there are 55,000 season ticket holders (reported in 16/17 season), 3 to 5,000 ish away supporters, which leaves around 15,000 - 17,000 tickets left for a reported 200,000+ memberships...

Either scrap season tickets and make it all members, or make it all season tickets and scrap members.

The problem is our owners are greedy and they know people will pay for memberships, so its an extra revenue stream. Its the same reason why any real space at the stadium is turned into corporate areas and the match going fans are cramped into tiny concourses. And its the same reason theyve taken £1 billion (allegedly) out of the club during their tenure. Greed!

Its shit. I moved countries and tried to update my new address. I can put in the street, house number, new postcode etc but it doesnt allow me to change the country. But it does allow me to save the details with the new street and house number but with the old country. :confused:
