If you get to the Prem the bulk of your income comes from external sources like TV money, so a few thou more would not make the difference between being a ‘player’ or not. That lot down the road certainly aren’t a good advert for a higher capacity are they?

Looking forward to seeing what the official attendance is on Sat as its a sellout (for home fans anyway). 

6 years of shyte in L1and still selling out tells you all you need to know about current capacity being too low.

We desperately need a capacity increase. We are selling out at home in league one every week.

According to pfc, we soldout 22 of 23 home league games last season in the home areas.

We soldout a lot of our games in the prem but there were a few games that didn't, I.e high prices in an old stadium with shite facilities, fans fed up with owners, etc. Various reasons.

We have a huge support, and always will have, of course as with every club you see shirts in the city and surrounding areas for man utd, Man city etc, that's modern football for you.

Saturday is soldout, although the occasional resale ticket becomes available so keep checking for tickets.

We would definitely sell 25,000 in the championship every week, and 30,000 in the prem if prices were correct.

We would probably sell 25,000 in total for this game on Saturday too in league one.

As pedalo said, the 20,000 capacity is never going to be anywhere near enough for Pompey.

I know of all the stakeholders that are involved re north stand redevelopment, and action must be taken ASAP to increase fratton parks capacity significantly in the very near future.

A significant capacity increase needs to happen now.

An aside, I don't trust https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-portsmouth/besucherzahlenentwicklung/verein/1020 (18,064) their attendance numbers are not sourced. The denomintator for number of games for the year Bury left the league is also wrong. The rest of the website focuses on transfer fees which are largely speculation. At least with the Hampshire Chronicle it was a quote from Cullen himself giving a value.

We still need a bigger ground, a much bigger ground in fact but it just goes to show what can be achieved with a club literally half our size and probably less than that if we ever get to our full potential. I’m just pleased the Eisner’s have kept their word to improve the stadium not put us in financial difficulty ever again and slowly, actually very slowly, brick by brick build this football club back to some semblance of its former greatness. The training ground, the youth academy, taking decisive action when our management who they backed to succeed, ultimately failed. They have delivered in spades for this club and this season I believe we will reap the rewards of that. I might be wrong regarding this season but we are in a position financially that even if we did fail this year (and I don’t believe we will) then we will still have a very stable and potentially successful team next season

Log on to the OS, click on tickets, click on ticket exchange and follow the instructions.
