10 More Rows On The Kop Or Filling A Corner

There will be occasions next year when capacity is reached
Wonder where the cost to benefit threshold is

Wont happen till we regularly sell out as the cost is too prohibitive.
Discussions will start on ground expansion if it looks like we can get promoted to the championship is my guess.
Would like to see the South stand made like what Walsall have with a built in bar area that allows for Corporate income on non matchdays. This could add another 3000 on to capacity. Also increase the Esat stand size and include corporate boxes. All pie in the sky at the moment.

Probably the easiest thing to do I guess?
My absolute dream would be a bigger Kop, safe standing, the works and really make the atmosphere better.

I dont expect the answer im after but I might as well ask the question - Does anyone know of 3 people that sit together that are relocating from the kop next season? I totally misread the situation and didn't think it would sell out to season ticket holders.

Just imagine 10 rows of safe standing at the top

Neither are really cost effective - roof off for ten more rows and expensive corner fill - construction inflation has risen above standard inflation since stadium build.
We are a long way away from extending the stadium, as mentioned above, would need to be complete sell outs each week for a sustained period of time and not just end of season games.

I think there will be some available, but you'll probably have to be bang on it the second those seats are released post the early bird deadline? I know of a couple of people moving out of the Kop (seats not together) because they attend with non ST holder mates and it's hard to get seats together, especially for those who only decide they can make the game last min

Like posters have already said it would need every home game to sell out week after week which won’t happen unless we are challenging for promotion.

Cheers. My lad and his mates won't sit anywhere else so his mates have said they just won't go. They like to make a bit of noise so would be wasted anywhere else in the ground anyway.

I'd say it would possibly happen if we get promoted again.
L1 - possibly
Championship - definitely

What really gets me about the stadium is that it is still listed as having a capacity of 10600 or 10400 or whatever but we all know it will never get 10000 again. What I'd like to know is why not. As far as I can recall there have been three gates of over 10k - Rotherham, Bury and Gillingham. Even the various games against the dee dahs didn't ever top 10. If they could do it then why not now? Was it the nonsense at the Bury game that kyboshed the capacity?

I might be wrong, but those 3 games you mention involved the away sides having the North Stand only, therefore no segregation anywhere around the ground with all available seats on sale. (Was this also the time that non attending season tickets were counted?)
The dee dah games, did they have the North and some of the East, so some segregation?
There is the front 3 rows to consider as well, they are very rarely available unless it's going to sell out with plenty of time to release them

Mansfield was over 10k
Could have been Saturday without TV and if we could have just given BHW the top of N5 with netting below and another Town at the 100 bottom of N5

Were Boringwood met with the now customary free fairy cakes and a cuppa Saturday?
I don't think the North Stand can be segregated in this way due to the concourse not having anything to separate, the East Stand has built in the partition that can be closed to provide away fans their own facilities
