Sunderland could not be a better archetype for our potential.
Even them down the road averaged 22k in League 1 and the Championship and we know how much more fervant we are compared to them https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-south...verein/180
We should be planning for 30k football attendances and a 35k seater stadium so we can bid to host concerts and internationals.
It also allows 10% head room for further growth in future generations and if we get a big fish in an FA Cup draw.
I follow your logic with comparisons to Palace and Norwich but IMO you're not aiming large enough for all use cases and for your children and your children's children's generations.
Sunderland are a consistently better supported club than us, so are not a good example.
The scummers have been in the top division most of the time, so they are also not a good example.
History would suggest that a 30,000 capacity is more than adequate for our needs, we should aim for that imo.
