Vital Champions League
imo any new ground is a balancing act between having enough capacity for the big games, without being lost in a sea of empty seats for the other games.
another factor would be creating more seats in premium areas of the ground. for this reason i would go for four larger stands to begin with, which would leave room for expansion in the corners if we proved that we regularly need more capacity. if the ground was build tomorrow i would say 13-14k would be a good starting point. i imagine rotherham, doncaster and the rest with fully enclosed grounds very rarely have fans filling those seats behind each corner flag.
still think the new ground is a rolling ten years away.
