It's a nice stadium tho, great atmosphere and great fans. Bournemouth is a small club don't make that mistake, only been in the EPL for 2 seasons iirc
(not to mention they went in administration a while ago)

Really? That's impressive :o

There are a lot of big stadiums in England aswell, but in the lower leagues are mostly washed up clubs

depends on the club of course, just an estimate ^^
i checked a few games from last weekend and several have a 7-12k crowd and not all sold out

second league gets bigger, the second largest club in hamburg st. pauli has a 30k crowd for every game

our stadium infrastructure is really good ^^

Bournemouth have only recently become a prem team, hard for them to risk so much money on a new stadium when they don't know how long it will last, or how many people they could attract. They have to scrap with Southampton and Pompey for a fanbase, so hard to predict, if they build a "big" stadium and drop down, they have no chance of filling it. Last I heard they were looking into a new location for a stadium though, not sure how far along it's got, or even if it got out of rumour stage.

Eibar's stadium has a capacity of 7k, and that's after last year's expansion :D

Their goal is to reach 15k... which is technically what they are supposed to have according to the rules which say that all clubs in Primera must have at least a 15k capacity (3 years after promoting)... but it's pretty much an impossible goal. La Liga is aware of this and has so far decided to be lenient and give them time, because the town of Eibar has only 27k people living there, and they have no fanbase whatsoever outside of the town. Not to mention they can't afford to expand the stadium without economical aid. They are making an effort, but there is no way they will ever be able to have 15k seats in their stadium.
