well, I have my opinion, koz has his own.
Luckely for Koz B changed cup and B3 money last season, this benefits people with smaller arenas. Now only league games income is influenced by arena size and ticketprices... So the money-leak won't be as big anymore, but it is still a leak for sure. (turning down possible income is a leak imo)
to conclude the discussion I think we may summarise the following:
the question was: when should I expand. The answer is: when you decide it is time.
Some people find that it is time when you start selling out at maximum prices, others think you should expand when you sell out with a lot less then max ticketprices, but you can raise ticketprices as a temporary measurement somethimes when needed.
Every manager will have to decide for his own what practice fits him best.
Can we all agree on that?

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
