David Gold has cleared up any issues surrounding the Olympic Stadium capacity and hinted that that the club may eventually go for a 66k capacity.
With the waiting list growing to around 50k the co chairman has revealed that the 66,000 is the ultimate limit at the club’s new home
With the subject under keen discussion both on Claret and Hugh and across social media, Gold declared: “It is possible to eventually go to 66,000 but that would be the maximum capacity. ”
And he has made it clear that just 5,000 of the 6,000 available from the increased capacity recently to receive planning approval would go to applicants.
He said: “Of the 6000 new seats approximately 5000 will go to the priority members and the balance to match day. dg.”
Under Premier League rules clubs have to ensure that a percentage of all tickets are made available to the general public on a walk up on the day basis.
Still upset with the comment bubs !
Me to , such a sad comment by DS , it won’t be the last either ,? The more I’ve thought about it the less sense it makes , strange comment !!!
Let’s get the seats now then in case it’s a one season wonder and we have to move out,
If we are going to get the work done now to increase to 60,000 why not go all the way
You don’t double glaze the front of your house one year and the rest later ( unless you are stupid )
Can’t believe he said one season wonder after the year he has had as a fan
