increased to 27,000 for next season and if we managed to stay up for a second season then the capacity would
further increased to the 35,000 which has been allowed for by design.
If the powers that be are now having second thoughts on this and are considering increasing the
capacity to its maximum straight away,then there are two possibilities open to them.
(1).They can do what Blackpool did and obtain permission from the Premier League to play their first six or eight
home fixtures at their opponents grounds and then play the scheduled away fixtures at home,OR
(2).Obtain permission to play the requisite number of home games at an alternate venue(MillStad),while the work
is carried out on CCS.
Obviously,in order to make an informed decision,enquiries as to the availability of the alternate venue would have
to made.
If the rumour of us using the Mill Stad is true then IMO this is the most credible explanation why.
