We rarely sell out the hospitality we do have and our ground is rarely above half full.

Surely additional revenue streams are the priority which means the hotel gets my vote, bigger club shop etc also included in the plans.

The last thing we want there is some weedy tin 10ft high shiver hole. It needs to be on the scale of the NS or QLE and in keeping with the rest of the ground. If you're gonna do it then do it right.

If we managed to secure Promotion to League 1, then you've got the additional teams already in League 1, such as Donny, Coventry, Charlton, Luton and if promotion bids were to falter potentially Pompey, Sunderland, Barnsley that would all bring upwards of 2,000 fans to our ground given the correct conditions and time of year etc. These games would also add to the home interest, so when people say we don't fill our current ground, they're correct, but we are not far away at all from having it full 5 or 6 times a season. If we built a 2,000 seater stand and gave half to home fans and half to away fans, that should take the capacity back up to 10,000 and the revenue created would be significant. And when you look at where the Radford's ambition is, in a Championship ground it would be full 10-15 times a season. All speculation of course, but as pointed out by Vice President, we can't guarantee the hotel will be an instant cash generator. And wouldn't it be a lot more scenic to not have to look at the 400 advertisement boards that are currently displayed?
I vote Bish!
