[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

The outside fanzone is the most exciting bit of this news. Can't wait

The amex will be absolutely rocking when we get back.

 

[The Fits]

Shouldn't the entire thing be a fanzone?

 

[Arkwright]

Any images or plans to view?

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

The way Barnsley are going they will be playing us next year - in the premier league. Best run in 130 years, 7 wins in the league on the bounce reached today

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

No waiting list now- that’s evaporated

Fulham is our biggest official attendance which was 36,000/37,000 I think.

I always remember it by thinking Jumbo Jet.

36,747.

Thought this had already been approved...?

Hope so. Never made it to Oakwell. Would be first on my list next season.

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

It was more like 27-28K in the seasons where we we’re top 6, and that was with most empty seats in the away end!

Correct

And I think we won 3-0

 

[tigertim68]

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

There were lots of games at the Goldstone with a bigger attendance than 32500

The biggest gate I ever experienced was against Derby in the League Cup

 

[Eric Potts]

What about the monorail ?

 

[Luke93]

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

Expectations vs reality:

Awesome. They're naming the new lounge after a top quality weed!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Looks like the capacity will be 31,800 in August. No time frame on the construction of the North Stand shelf/lounge and corner lounge which will seat another 700.

Let's hope someone has told Southern Rail so that the same high standards of people movement and minimal queuing can be maintained with the increase in capacity!
