The new stadium

Just wondering, now it's finished and we'll be there soon enough, what are people's thoughts on the capacity? Is 52,888 the right move Should we have pushed for 55k or 60k or even higher. This is not a moan. I think the difference between 55k and 52k is small enough that it doesn't matter. But should we have gone for 60k? Perhaps that extra push would have bankrupted us, or left us missing out on a player and we'd be heading into the new ground in the championship. I suspect 52k will be fine, but I can't help but think in 10yrs time the club might be looking at how it can be extended a little.
