I do think the stadium though is an important part of a clubs image, it's no coincidence the clubs we regard as the biggest clubs in the world are the ones with the biggest stadiums. Look at Barca, Real and what Utd did in the 90's. They became one of if not the biggest club in the world by investing in their Stadium.
6 years to go from 45k to 54k capacity is ridiculous and has been par for the course under FSG. I'm just sick of the mediocrity that they continue to brainwash fans with, under the guise of "being responsible"!
