New stadium: The last 5 home games have been undersold. Who are are we trying to kid?
we have 47 000 ppl on the season ticket waiting list...pretty sure we would sell out a 58 000 seat stadium..
Well we are not selling out a 36000 stadium at the moment. Wish we were. The waiting list is meaningless at the moment.we have 47 000 ppl on the season ticket waiting list...pretty sure we would sell out a 58 000 seat stadium..

I mean empty seats. 28,000 or there abouts for the Fulham game.when you say selling out what are your refering too? empty seats ? or unbought tickets? empty seats could purely mean ST's are rocking up, they still paid for there ticket though..
I`ve heard rumours today about stadium MK being used for Carling/FA Cup matches plus 3 premier league games for some reason. Wembley for the rest. But as I say, rumours

Irrelevant though if the seat has been sold. Hell of a lot more than 28k in there thoughI mean empty seats. 28,000 or there abouts for the Fulham game.

As I recal Wembley is only permitted so many "events" a year, and a premier league season would exceed that.
Could be a similar story with MK, and we are trying to balance a season between both?
Cat A games at full capacity are you mad? We aren't selling 90'000 tickets mate. I doubt even the NLD would sell that much.Those limits include 22 sports events and 15 others at full capacity. If capacity were to be limited to 50k or less, it opens up the possibility that other events can go ahead. There was mention made that the terms of these limitations were based on transport infrastructure capacity, improvements for which were in the works. A short term situation whereby Spurs play all their games at a reduced 50k capacity (Lower and middle tier), then the Cat A games at full capacity.
I am not saying this is definitive but I have heard this discussed as a viable possibility.
That is not the point that is being made. The point is there would be no limitation for Cat A games, who gives a fuck if they sell out or not.Cat A games at full capacity are you mad? We aren't selling 90'000 tickets mate. I doubt even the NLD would sell that much.
Sorry, i see your point haha :soldadolol:That is not the point that is being made. The point is there would be no limitation for Cat A games, who gives a fuck if they sell out or not.
No way it was 28,000.I mean empty seats. 28,000 or there abouts for the Fulham game.
I'm clearly wrong about 28,000. There did seem to be an awful lot of empty seats though.No way it was 28,000.
BBC says 35,841 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26998951
Assume that includes ST holders who didn't turn up, but no way nearly 8,000 ST holders stayed away.
