This was on Gus's Magical Mystery tour in 2012 when we were looking for somewhere to call home full time.........Let's face it, 5,100 capacity isn't going to be a problem....Gus has not presided over a game with a "5" at the start of the attendance....he's only ever seen a "4" 5 times out of 33.....and the "all seats sold" target of 3,500 at the Hive has only bothered him a total of 9 times.

We currently play in a "15", I would be interested to know how many "15", "14", "13", etc crowds we, in our various guises, have registered in 30 years. I suspect not many. Potential is one thing, translating that into bums on seats is another - thats one thing we agree on. The other is a competitive side on the field.
I am equally frustrated at where we are as a club, but, perhaps in the short / medium term this might be a a good move - if it is a real option and SL accept it. If we can get the ground half to full every home game, generate a decent atmosphere, make it our home (and put a decent side on the park), perhaps 2 or 3 years down the line we could be looking to extend the capacity, etc.
