Ha. I will actually be stunned if this doesn't happen.They'll probably try to tie-in 66,000 with 1966

The simple minded spam fans ( that's most of them) will be lauding it up, as they will have the biggest capacity in London.
Albeit it's not theirs, they don't own it, it's an athletics bowl not a football stadium.
They can't fill it now, so putting in extra capacity will just create more empty seats and further dilute their support with away fans in the home ends and more football tourists.
They have the owners they deserve

It is all to do with naming rights apparently. Having a 60 or 66k capacity will make it easier to attract one.....deluded
And that's exactly why they are trying this. The owners are desperate to get the fans on board.
They have lied every week about the attendance figures and would continue to do so. It will be ages before they up it to 66k anyway.
And this proves your point.

The naming rights? What would spam get out of this financially as they don't own the asset, they rent it out?
Given the laughs this stadium has given all of football, the dubious contracts to their rental agreement, the negative public opinion of how much tax payer money has been wasted, the fact it could be hosting championship football in a couple of years.....what brand will want to associate their selves to this tin pot outfit?
Aldi? Lidl? Cash converters? The caravan club?

When you struggle to sell 57000 tickets,wheres the logic in upping another 9000?

mentioned, just as a "we've got a bigger stadium than Spurs" boast. despite it not being theirs.As you know, they are not the brightest and fall for the most simple trick.

Tbf looks like that guy is getting lambasted for that....
"I'm not convinced that renting 66,000 seats in an unloved athletics bowl is better than owning 62,000 in a purpose-built football stadium, but we have to take our small victories where we can I suppose."
"****ing hell, have a word...
Proper small time mentality..."
"Really?
Another 'cup final' won by us."

Tin pot club.
Always having to compare themselves to others. Sad mentality, they should seek professional help.
It will take 1.5yrs before they get to the 62,500. As for the 60k, it's also worth noting that they do not have the safety approval yet for the increase. This isn't a small hurdle, principally because of their fans being a major issue since they have moved in. The extra 3k seats has also cost them approx £200k on their annual rent. But they have now thought to be paying approx £3m pa which takes into account settlements for their other legal disputes (they filled many against LLDC).
The 66k will be way off into the future and there is no specified time. The reason? To take it to 66k will require building work, there aren't enough toilets for starters. No way will they be paying for them and no way will the LLDC, expect there to be absolutely zero movements in this area.
It's a shame the rest of the league is too shit to get them relegated - if they ever go down that stadium will drag them down through the divisions
Spam was my first ever away game back in October 1970 for a 2-2 draw and Upton Park was full and bouyant (i think this was their record crowd at UP). Didn't miss many in the intervening years either when they weren't in the second division of course. 1975 league cup was a good night, their lights packed up and we beat them 2-0 aet. The 1980 league cup was lively shall we say as was the last time we played there. The rented bowl by comparison is just dreadful and the reasons for this are well documented. Ordinarily i would be sad that an English club had lost their identity but they have made themselves so hated with their obsession of all things Tottenham. I hope they get relegated soon and then go out of business and existence. A club that has never won the league, never, not even once, just never. And never will.
