Away fans capacity at Falmer?

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Can someone tell me what the capacity for away fans will be at Falmer? I heard 2000 which, if true, seems very low...

 

[Notters]

2,900 ish.

 

[steward 433]

2,575

Thanks. I'm being hyper critical but it's a shame both the "ends" are so small. Many away teams would have brought more than 2500 fans. The club will miss out on that revenue.

Everytime I get close up to the site, as much as I can't shake the gormless ear-to-ear grin off my chops I can't help but be disappointed at how gay the corners look with nothing in 'em.

Only a very very minor gripe, mind

Exeter brought 197. What would we do with the rest of the 2,378 seats in the away end? Somehow cordon off those 197 away fans and sell the other seats on the day? Or something?

Until you think "now we have planning permission to build our stadium it will be much easier to get further planning permission in a few short years to fill up those holes with seats"

Which is much better than thinking "I wish they had designed a stadium which could easily be expanded in the future"

apparantly, yes, this has been thought about and is in the plans to make it easy and possible

wrong way round

 

[Turkey]

In FA Cup games would we have to give 15% if the opposition asked for it, which would be 3,300 odd? Presume in that scenario give them part of the east stand?

I went to a Falmer presentation and they said that the capacity could be increased to 30k just by filling in the corners, so they have this planned for the future.

1. We get an extra 1,100 seats

2. We will not be playing Exeter next season.

3. Away end will be a new ground for a season so will get a lot of away fan interest so don't see us doing it too often!!!

Yes can be sectioned off same as away end!
