<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> In CM 03/04, I've had the Cheltenham Local council block a plannned expansion

Previous (2) expansions have to small in size (about 2600 and 1100) and take months to complete. The first expansion actually decreased the stadium capacity to around 8000 while work was in progress. It's a good touch to the game. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

You've probably reached your maximum extension limit (like Highbury or Anfield). Board's gonna have to build a new outta town stadium!!!

You mean this can actually happen in CM03-04? :eek:

About the stadia limit, positive... it happens, at least in Poofland...(Although I have to say that expansions in Spain never seem to have a limit in the game)

About building a new stadium, the answer would be no IIRC... unless there were already plans of changing stadium when you started the game there will be no other stadium in CM03/04...

UELL fan- if both parts of what you say are true then some clubs would be unable to progress into the top division. Surely if that were the case there'd be a torrent of protests on these forums from irate managers!!

I don't think the Times is right with that, unless the rules have changed again.

It used to be 6000 capacity with 1000 seats.
Then it was changed to 4000 capacity with 1000 seats.

For a Conference club to have 4000 seats, it's an awful lot and would cost most clubs too much money.

My Portugese Div 2 B South team, Louletano have just moved half way through the season into a new stadium, a 30,000 seater with retractable roof. I've not checked the IRL Louletano to see if this was the case, but needless to say, I was shocked and awed.

Yeah, we know seamus
The 700k in season tickets kind of dwarfs my 6k transfer budget a bit.

, just informing those people who don't read the clan thread, or weren't around when it happened.

Having actually checked the nationwide league rules it appears that the Times is incorrect, it should read:


A newly qualified member (i.e. clubs promoted from the conference) must have a stadium that holds at least 4000 , of whom 500 must be seated under cover. Clubs must also show that they have the ability to increase their capacity to 5000 (with 1000 seated under cover) and must do so by May 31st of their first season in the League. After three seasons in the League, all member clubs must have a minimum capacity of 5000 (2000 seated under cover)."
