We had the 5th highest average attendance in European Football prior to the CCP Virus. Tickets are cheaper but the attendance numbers were there. That said, a new stadium is not going to be built any time soon. Its a complete pipe dream as I have been saying for years.As brehme says its the price of land thats the problem. Wembley and the new spurs stadium are circa 1 billion GBP each too. Its the cost of development in a major city.
One of the problems is that, unlike the premiership, we dont have the sell out crowds to push our stadium capacity upwards - so by building a new stadium (and, typically, making more seats) you would immediately increase revenues from that alone. Correct me if I'm wrong, but our tickes are typically much much cheaper than the Premiership as well? Not to mention season tickets and corporate boxes.
