If we ever did attract regular crowds in excess of 2,000 (hypothetical is not a big enough word here!) the problem would possibly solve itself to a large extent, since the extra revenue coming into the club would help to fund larger social and catering facilities.
Seeing as we're unlikely to increase our average attendances above the current level anytime soon it's not going to be a major issue. I think it would be desirable to extend/replace the current social club in the long term but this will require a lot of money and no shortage of hard work so it's not going to happen overnight.
The location of the new catering & toilet block is both a blessing and a pain. It's nice that the fans walk in through our new turnstiles and are immediately greeted with programme sellers and the snack bar. The club shop and bar are also in that same part of the ground and it means people have easy access to everything. However, at the same time there was the issue of queuing which meant that area got very overcrowded on Tuesday. In truth though, how many times is this likely to happen during the average season? It's not like it can be picked up and moved elsewhere so it looks like we've just got to bear with it for the time being.
It could be worse, look at Northwich who make no matchday income at all!
