Fantastic! Let's just hope there will be fans in the stadium to appreciate it!

 

[GT49er]

Even bigger pretendences?

 

[Get It Forward Stephens]

With an extra 2,500 fans, I’ll have to leave at the 70 minute mark to get to the front of the park and ride queue.

 

[Saltydog]

This should put a dent in the waiting list assuming all of the seats have good vision of the playing area.

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

No waterslide?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Just slightly bigger than Stains Park? Nice

(St Mary's has a capacity of 32,384 in case anyone goves a shit )

Apparently 2,500 fans are being asked to seat people on their laps, expected to be contacted by Email .

As long as she's decent looking and no more than 10 stone, I'm in.

Ah it'll be a full as Goldstone ever was, marvellous stuff

 

[The Wizard]

An extra 2500 fans going home and kicking the cat next season then

 

[Steve Foster]

Hope we never go down. A 50% full Amex against Barnsley in the Championship on a wet November could be grim atmosphere

There are no restricted views at the Amex.

Also, outside fanzine including toilets.


Still no Monorail though.


Barber out!!

We used to average well over 24,000 in the Championship.

Not quite. Over 36,000 for the Rochdale promotion match, and at least 10,000 outside, so they said.

 

[Brighton Rocker]

There are no restricted views at the Amex.

Except in the North Stand when we persistently stand.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Am I correct in thinking that 32500 is a minimum requirement for certain international games?

 

[Hampster Gull]

Is this the Albion doing their part in the obesity challenge, squeezing the seats and forcing many to shed a few pounds

 

[Charity Shield 1910]

Certainly getting there. We had nearly 35,000 in the Goldstone for Rochdale at home in the third division, and that was the official crowd. Would have been more on the terraces that day in all likelihood. Fulham is our biggest official attendance which was 36,000/37,000 I think.
