Additional seating (if we go up)

Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:18 pm

Where would the extra 1,000 or so seats be added if we were to go up? Can't see it being in the corners because isn't it Football League rules to have so many emergency exits? Someone give me an idea where. :laughing6: :ayatollah:

Terracing around 3 sides of the pitch........ Job done!

In all seriousness, its hard to say there's an easy cheap option because surely those areas would have been highlighted from the initial build.

Safe standing would be good imo. Should be a quicker turnaround than any other type of structural work.

Also, Maybe the premier seating balcony could be expanded into a bigger tier.......prices could probably stay the same in the prem and it'd get filled.

Then mirror this tier with a no frills version on the ninian stand........cheaper for us normal folk.

Probably where the disabled sections are in both corners of the Grandstand as there is a lot of unused space by there.

Bit then where would those disabled sections go? I'd have thought we'd need more disabled seats.

They're not pointless, they allow air to flow across the surface of the pitch.

The largest opening is also required to get HGVs in and out for events.

Cheers, I'm sure you needed those big exits though, but it may only just be 1 is needed then we'll fill in the other 3 corners. :ayatollah:

We don't need 4 of them though...
