If we went down, would we hold the record for stadium capacity at league 2 level (ie since the prem was established. I know prior to that grounds used to hold 1000s through standing etc)
I'm at work today, so have been able to research this extensively.
Current record holders are Hull City, 25,400 - a season and a half in their new stadium before they were promoted, and Bradford City, 25,136.
MK Dons played in Stadium MK at that level, but not with the existing 30,500 capacity, only 22,000 I think.
A metaphorical gold star to anyone who can name the third largest stadium to have hosted 4th tier football since the Premier League started. Going for a well-earned lunch break now, answer at 3 if nobody's got it by then.
Fucking SISU, another record I would've liked on Meire's cv if we do go down
But maybe The Wasps (not the insects) will not allow Cov to play there next season in which case it would be back on if we went down as well and Cov go back to Sixfieds where they were forced to play home games before.
Ps finally getting out of Belgium: sitting in the tunnel terminal at Brussels as I type this in.
25,000 capacity vanity project for former safe cracker, George Reynolds. Darlington FC no longer exists. Having been relegated to the Conference, they were then relegated 4 divisions to the Northern League and relaunched under fan ownership as Darlington 1883 in 2012. Now in the National League North. The stadium now hosts rugby matches.

'Lower west only'
So unless it has been reduced when they put seating in, this could be another record for NightMeire and co

That Selhurst has not even witnessed third tier football in recent years makes me sick. 3 last day escapes since the turn of the century I think.
