East Stand in it's glory....

[Magic Sponge]

It's not until you are in the ground that you appreciate how big ESU actually is, the various photo's i've seen of it don't do it justice in that respect. For some reason i thought it was going to be a 'small' tier on the East, but sitting in the North on Tuesday it actually looks bigger than WSU, anyone know the various capacities?

I may be wrong but I believe the ESU holds nearly 4000 ?

Looks brilliant and full marks to the club for proving facilities for all ..stadiums look best with people in them!

I think its around 4500 in the WSU and 3200 in the ESU

The guide on my stadium tour last week said the banner is going to be put in the SE corner.

The mock-up shows a banner in both the SE and NE corners.

TBH doesn't look as good as the initial plans without the side bits. Still won't complain too much still looks MINT overall

There aren't any initial plans without the 'side bits', the original expansion plans that were in the Southampton programme had the gaps for the disabled balcony, it just wasn't clear as there wasn't a single wide angled photo of the entire stand, if you piece them together you can see that this was always the plan.

Disabled toilets and food outlets I think.

I'm on the ledge at the north end. The rooms as you call them, are disabled areas, the have a platform and their rooms are wheelchair access toilets and their own kiosks. I wonder how it's gonna work if there is no one occupying those platforms? 'Sorry we can't serve you at this kiosk because you're using your legs'.
Yes you would assume that if it were not occupied Azure would not be silly enough to open them, but who knows?

And the ledges have 3 rows.

ESU - 3275
Not sure about WSU though, I'd imagine it's more.

OK sorry, I meant the 'plans' or 'mock ups' people did on here that's all. I can now see why they can't leave the disabled bit in the SW corner to be fair so understand the need for a move and think it's brilliant that disabled supporters are offered a good view etc...
