General thrust agreed, of course, but when was our capacity ever only 8000? It was 13k pretty consistently during the 80's and 90s, and even the Hill 'flats in the corner' planning permission we were granted the season before Fayed came in was for a 15k rebuild. -- SW6.doc

I thought the RBS rebuild was 7,500 - 8,000... But you are probably right, but I think the point is valid, we would probably never have escaped from the bottom two divisions. (NT) -- GTS, Monday, March 17, 05:10:59pm (static-customer-assignment.goskope.com/24.206.97.74)
- You do realise we were a top fight club long before we ever dropped into the bottom division? Historically, Fulham being in the bottom two divisions is an anomaly. 30 seasons in the top flight in our history versus only three in the bottom tier.

  - I think our average position is mid Championship (NT) -- The Drobe, Monday, March 17, 06:44:33pm (host86-149-115-76.range86-149.btcentralplus.com/86.149.115.76)
  - Are you seriously asking me that ????? I've been nice coming for over 50 years and been a season ticket holder since 1983. Of course I know my history, but history was pretty much all we had in 1998. (NT) -- GTS, Monday, March 17, 07:20:43pm (NoHost/2.220.215.37)
    - We'd not have had that rapid rise without MAF, and would have stayed competing with Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton, Millwall, Orient. But just as most of them have gone up in the world in the past quarter century, who's to say we'd not have too in due course?

      - We were only ever down there due to two consecutive and equally morally corrupt owners anyway, my view of MAF kind was always he was redressing the balance... (NT) -- Rupert, Tuesday, March 18, 11:21:47am (NoHost/94.13.252.210)
