Rumours exactly. Fact is, cashburton grove can never be expanded due to the perimeter wall being the main structural support.That 5k is a massive difference. I believe they managed to succeed in the early 90's in part to having a bigger stadium, and it was less that 5k bigger. Also there are rumours they want to expand to 100k and they could easily sell 70k.
There's no reason to sell ourselves short, it's going to be more expensive in the long run if we build a stadium that's still too small. Building a 100,000 seater stadium in a better location would also allow us to hire the stadium out for things like the CL final, or concerts, which would bring money into the club. Right now those events would either go to Wembley or Arsenal
