Amex Community Stadium to be completed this season... earlier than expected

[clippedgull]

according to the Argus.

2,200 seats earmarked for the North Stand wings will be installed in time for the final few games of the upcoming season meaning more than 30,000 fans could be watching before the end of the season.

500 extra hospitality seats to be added in December.

Did you say The Argus? It must be true.

You think it's all built? It will be by Saturday 20 April 2013.



Blackpool at home, 30,000+, what a day that could be.

 

[Captain Haddock]

TB has fairly recently said this might be on the cards. It does make sense to proceed with the earlier completion. Good news.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

30,000....nowhere near enough!

If this is true, I really wish they would have decided on this before I got my ST in the South stand. Oh well, you never know, people in the south might also make some noise next season.

I think it will be noisy in the south next season. It did start to pick up last season when we had half of the south stand.

I remember the last time we played Blackpool at home in front of 30,000+. It was at the Goldstone in 1978, and we missed out on promotion even though we won. Make it another game, eh?

That was a day I'll never forget. Incredible atmosphere, wonder goal by Wardy & then news of that stitch up by Scummers and Spurs.

One of my first but remains one of the best. Totally chocca in the North an hour before kick off ... although we all knew Spurs and Stains would stitch us up many of us were still hanging on to the possibility that we could beat an already relegated Blackpool team by the 9 or whatever it was and go up on GD.

did we not get about near 30ish as well for that cup game against Arsenal in the 80's, quality Garry Nelson goal lost 2-1

Well given they won't be in till towards the end of the season it probably wouldn't be a great choice.
