On the subject of 'missing a trick'... I know its probably quite difficult for the Club to predict potential sales of merchandise,but as we've had decent crowds at the Mem throughout this Season, I would assume the demand is still there for replica shirts, flags, scarves etc etc. Given the financial state of the Club atm, I cant understand how nearly all of the items I mentioned earlier in this post are currently 'out of stock' at the online shop.
Surely some marketing bod would have realised several months ago that we were likely to make the play-offs and would have ordered in some extra stock?
If/When we get to Wembley, there will potentially be thousands of punters looking to buy Home and Away shirts,flags, scarves and anything Gas related, only to have a shop with nothing to sell.

The Guinness stand was bought in for the rugby club when they were in the prem. Some of our season ticket holders went into this stand, but, the capacity of the ground WAS NOT INCREASED!! It couldn't have been!!!! Our capacity has been set!!! But don't let that get n the way of another moan about the club. ![]() ![]() |

It's been like it a long time and I've often wondered why the south stand doesn't go all the way along. If you think its not worth the effort, fair enough. (not just for a 1 off game, I'm on about permanently) |

Our capacity it dictated by our safety certificate, I would guess changing it would take months. It's not as easy as just throwing a few extra seats in , it would have to be cleared by health and safety.

(not just for a 1 off game, I'm on about permanently) It's been bought up countless times before, it's because of the house's behind where the extra south stand would be. BRFC have inquired, and have been turned down. The Mem also only has a safety certificate for 11,700 I believe, the club couldn't just increase the capacity for safety reasons. |

Good point, and IF we go all the way, they should even try and increase the amount of blue and quarters by lowering the price! |

Any idea why the ground capacity was reduced from the 12,000 allowed in for the WBA cup game?
