A long road ahead, but the early indications are that WTW will be anchor tenants in a new 12k capacity stadium for the start of the 2015 season.

I understand the words of caution but as far as I know, the stadium will be owned by a nfp Trust; that being the case, the likelihood of the club being crippled by the management costs and loss of revenue from sales is significantly reduced.

Happpy day for WTW fans!

Just remember that , " Build it and they will come " was just a movie , to operate you will need to run at around 80 % capacity all the time , that wont happen unless some serious work is done pre , during and post building of this stadium

We are currently averaging 8,000 this season.
I wouldnt have thought an extra 2k at a new stadium would be too difficult.
