This line of trolling has been deemed 'boring' and would be banned under AUP 5.1, if I could be bothered to create an announcement thread. The ground needs better facilities - this
may increase crowds and revenue. The covered parts of the ground are generally pretty much full, so the chicken-egg argument that bigger crowds are required to justify extending and improving the ground carries little water, IMO. There is no guarantee that Rovers will hit 10k even when the stadium is finished, but I'm pleased that it looks as though we will at least get to find out. You look at the boosts other clubs have received and it doesn't seem especially improbable to me. It will require attracting 'new' fans though, as I'm not sure the remaining pool of latent support will be big enough by itself.
