[Albion] Barber on extra seats

[Dick Swiveller]

From today's programme. Not much new but in case you are interested. u

A row of seats hanging down from the roof of the West Stand. You all get lowered down at KO, and hoisted back up at Full Time.

Not for everyone, not for the height issue, more the fact they can’t leave on 80 minutes.

Half time p1ss also becomes more interesting.

Third tier on East Stand

New glass bottom stadium roof

Lower the pitch and put a new tier under all four stands.

There REALLY is no need for many more seats (a few more won't hurt) and I honestly doubt there ever will be. 30000 is more or less perfect for us. There are very very few games when someone who wants one can't get one at the moment. And I don't see that changing even if we become that top 10 team.

We didn't sell out either West ham or Southampton after such a great performance at Watford and a really good game against WHU. I know it is summer holidays so a lot of people not around but equally a lot of people with time to fill. Where were the prospective 5k who want season tickets?

 

[The Kid Frankie]

There’s no way the attendance was above 30,000 yesterday. Masses of empty seats everywhere

Have to disagree with you there.

There were was a ‘lost’ generation due to the war years; the millennials. You can see it when you look at the fans. With most U18 (generation Z) hopefully supporting Albion in Sussex now, I’d expect the waiting list to grow and grow. I think we could happily function with 32k - 34k in the not so far future.

Well, PB/TB are proposing additional seating, but obviously not huge numbers. They made that plain at the Fans Forum. The only proviso was, subject to BHCC permission.

Looking around the Amex yesterday, the only obvious places are to add at the ends of ESU. At the moment both are unaesthetic with platforms and concrete walled rooms. Then there’s that old chestnut of extending the NS backwards (offices making way).

As a non season ticket holder I’ve found it relatively easy to get tickets so it doesn’t seem like a priority. But a few seasons of potterball and consolidation and you’d think the demand would be there.

I cannot see the North stand being extended into the office space. It's much more likely to see the space used as a hospitality area or even some boxes due to the revenue that would bring in and the smaller amount of seats needed to be pitchside

More than 30000 tickets sold.

Likely to be last project Martin Perry does - get planning sorted this winter - then do works in summer next year - and any extra seats all finished when he retires next September

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Why is Barber on these extra seats?
Is he saving them for someone?
Seems very selfish to me.

Can’t help thinking about the Glazers at Man Utd.They couldn’t believe how big the season ticket list was.
They thought this was wasted so increased prices until the list disappeared. Be careful what you wish for!

I refuse to believe expanding the north stand isn't possible, it's the shittest bit and where our vocal support is supposed to come from, it's not a patch on the proper north stand.

Sits back with rose tinted shades back in safety case ;-)

Half time p1ss also becomes more interesting.

In particular for those underneath

Didn't know about the wifi now working, is it the cloud or do we need log in details?
