They'll probably sell it out every week too. The best are just getting better and better (and richer). http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/english/6741299. stm Leicester have revealed a redevelopment plan which will raise the capacity of their Welford Road stadium from 16,815 to 25,000 by 2011. The plan, worth nearly £30m, still has to be ratified at board level but work could start as early as next spring.

I can see you going Onwards and upwards, and an example of how to run a club, both the playing side and commercially. |
