Only 17K? Thought it would be a bit bigger than that. That's smaller than the Liberty!

Financial stability. Wealthy and sensible owner.

They will always be a very small club, originally 25,000 then they decided over a yr ago 17,000 and to be fair they haven’t got the support .

I'd say that's a tad unfair, since their promotion to the championship in 2014 they've averaged over 10k crowds every season. Considering Griffin Park only has a capacity of 12k I would assume they sell out the home stands almost every game. Considering they've got a new stadium and have seen a lot of recent success I would be imagine, if had crowds been permitted next season, they would easily be selling out the new stadium.

They probably average 8-8500 (home fans) as most teams take loads to your likes of Brentford/Fulham and QPR.
They will be extremely limited to what they can attract by what's on their doorstep and realistically they probably know their time if at all in the top tier would be limited.
I reckon they have got it bang on the money to be fair

Aye I'm sure they've put a lot of thought into it but just seems slightly unambitious to only add 5k seats and with no way of expanding the stadium further.
