hi I was wondering if the boards ever actually get round to expanding the stadium

I am currently managing by beloved Billericay

Having got them into te football league I expected the ground to be expanded as the minimum requirement for a football grounds capicty (sp) is 6,000 yet new lodge remained at 3,500

After three seasons in the football league every season the average att as been 3300+ yet the ground has remained the same size

It is not as though the club is in debt I have managed to get a bank balance of 2.2 million which will increase yet further when a couple of my young players are sold on in the next transfer window

They do and it's capacity

excellent any ideas as to how much money needs to sit in the bank account before they actually do it

When they have the money, it takes a lot, and when the crowds warrant it.

Actually, in my Icelandic game the board decided to build a new stadium, even though they couldn't afford it (took out a huge loan) and we weren't even filling our 750 no-seater at the time :o

a 750 no-seater isn't a stadium, it's just a field(there's 300+ metres for people to stand, so at 75cm (bout 30+ inches if I'm not mistaken) per person, it wouldn't even be two circles of people round the field). So it's not a stadium expansion, it's just a stadium

Not sure how you would fill that 750 'stadium' of yours...

Eldereth, it's possible that three of four sides are limited by volcanoes, geysers or glaciers, after all it's Iceland.

You're actually right, here's a picture from Grýluvöllur : http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/7463/33mg.jpg

It's not, it got reduced to 4000 capacity but a minimum of 1000 seats.
Sadly it's not in the game however, in fact the requirement was last seen in 01/02 (when it was 6000 capacity, with at least 10% of the capacity seated).

That's a proper LLM challenge as well! Reminds me of my Big Fat Centre Back.
