We only have to worry about ground capacity if every single person who received a ticket, either purchased or freebee, turns up. This is highly unlikely.

Yep get that but what is the current capacity?

2600 new stand
3000 north stand
1800 west stand
500 flats
Just shy of 8k IMO.

Re: Bulls game : Mon Mar 11, 2024 5:22 pm  

Are they the confirmed figures?

I would have thought that the West holds more than 1800, if the North holds 3000.

I would hope not with Ellis saying last week on the radio we would get the 7.5k for the Bradford game

I am sure I read somewhere its around 7,300?

Re: Bulls game : Tue Mar 12, 2024 7:19 am  

Just over 7000 according to a comment on the Train Facebook site. Probably something like this at the moment
2600 East Stand
1700 Western Terrace
3000 North Stand

The North terrace held about 6k I believe before the recent work was carried out. At the moment it's significantly lower than what it was. Obviously the Western Terrace could hold a lot more if the boxes were disposed of the rear part terraced but we all know the owner is looking at both these areas

I'm sure Ellis mentioned it was about 7,500.

Sure we will find out when the attendance is announced friday!

Regardless of the actual capacity, Its a great achievement to sell out the fixture.
After the season that we had last year, to generate this level of interest is superb.
Well done to all involved and let's hope we can kick off our league campaign with a win !

I really hope so. Historically we have fallen short at home in these games where the crowds turn up.

A win Friday will go a long way to convincing some fans on the fence to commit to season tickets or return for the next home game.
