Re: Ground Capacity Increase.
Your reply wasn’t to me, and I understand the point you’re making, but the Premier League era attendances aren’t the best example. By that I mean we were restricted by capacity. Many games in MOST of those seasons we could have had many thousands more on, so the average would have been higher. I’m ...
