ve always stated we should have done what other clubs have done in the past and give the East Stand to the big followers Utd L,pool etc and we have it for the clubs who only need the smaller North stand.All it would entail is that you had 2 seat numbers on your ST your North stand seat number and your East seat number. This would have swelled attendances for the big games albeit by away fans but would also stop them coming in our end anyway coz they cant a get a seat in the away end.
If you get anymore brainwaves like this one, please keep it to yourself,JESUS :)
The North Stand holds 5,500 – more than adequate for most away followings. So why give them the bigger East Stand which will look atrocious on TV if we are playing someone who only bring a few hundred.
If you remember we only gave visitors the East Stand in the first place because it was the last stand to be finished.

So how would 6000 east stand season ticket holders fit in a 5500 capacity north stand?

What!!!! please tell me when the East stand had 6000 season ticket holders and when the last time we sold out the East stand.
Instead of having these petty squables keep it as it is if we go down there are plenty of big clubs to fill that North stand in the championship it is why that league one of the best supported leagues in Europe

With the cameras facing the East Thirty I just think it would look better if it was full and keep the empty seats out of sight.If we go down its immaterial probably anyway but with the medias obsession with our low attendances why give them a stick to beat us with? Wolves and Palace used this tool often to their advantage and it worked.

This not aimed at you but a general question to the forum if we go down how many season tickets would we sell for a championship season bearing in mind that this season was at a guess about 11500 to 12000 and also bearing in mind the majority alledgely is of a young age say below 24
just my opinion like, but i think no matter what league were in we shouldn’t give away fans more than about 3-4000.
the home atmosphere is dreadful as it is without doubling the away attendance.
Make the South unreserved, have a family section in the East similar to what we had originally in the West and away you go.
Garswood, why would we move the away fans from the North to the East just because we finished it? I think it was more to do with us having 17000 home seats to fill instead of 20000. Once we got in the PL we felt we could fill them extra 3000 seats. Turns out 17000 wouldn’t have been far wrong.
