Access for which fans exactly? Away fans that will only buy one ticket into their ground a season? Bournemouth don't owe the rest of the league anything.GranadaJoe wrote:Most countries have minimum standards for stadiums.

Where you set the limit is debatable, but I would have thought that 15,000 minimum in the first year and 20,000 by year 2 were reasonable.
Would Brighton's 8,000 be OK?
I think access for fans is important.
Furthermore, why should they be forced into expensive improvements due to their success? Those costs, should they not stay up, could ruin their club. Doubling capacity over two years is a monumental expense.
