"They aren't serious are they. They have absolutely no intention of us playing in the Premier League ever again".
When you get to the premier the size of the ground and the income from the gates becomes increasingly less important because the percentage of income produced by gate money becomes tiny.
For instance a 20,000 ground @ £600 per seat gives you 12m .... increasing the capacity to 30,000 would only give you 6m more, which is trivial compared tot he 100m+ that you get from other income.
We survived quite happily in the premier for seven years with a ground capacity similar to what we will have, and many have done so with smaller.
