I'm sure a lot of the walk up support will go on the terracing as it will be cheaper on the day than sitting?
I would hope that by the time the season starts the home standing area would be sold out to season ticket holders. If that does happen it would be interesting to see what they would do with the East stand, I expect tickets will be made available to home fans for the likes of Catalans and London.
I would have had the away end half stand and half seated to give the club more options when it comes to selling to away fans i.e. Larger clubs could have all the standing, smaller could have a block of seats.
It is good for the club to build up a culture of ticket buying. Having a standing side allows people to walk up and shove their way to the half way line. If you have to buy your ticket in advance to get a good view that helps the club guarentee income and protects the from low attendances if the weather is poor.
