ground capacity : Tue Jan 26, 2010 12:02 pm  

can anyone help, ive seen and read in a couple of papers and on tv, that the capacity for your stadium has been cut to 7000 for this season, is this correct or will it be higher as the season progresses?

They are playing at Aime Giral for some games, is this the ground you mean or Brutus?

I heard on the radio a couple of weeks ago that the Gilbert Brutus will be fully open at the start of the season but the Saints game in Round 3 will be the last one before the re-development work begins. I didn't know the capacity was going to be as low as 7,000 for this period though. Which gamea are at the Aime Giral? How long until the work's finished?

bit alarming for both hull clubs who ususally take good numbers to catalans and are now wondering if we will be able to gain access to the game with reduced capacity

It's a fair point re the Hull clubs. Best to take both games to the Camp Nou to accommodate the 85,000 travelling supporters and issue heartfelt apologies to the quarter of a million that can't get tickets.

don't be so daft, we never (fc) claimed to bring as many as some other clubs who like to compare d!ck sizes, mine was a genuine question as myself and no doubt a few others have already booked hotels and flights and are concerned about tickets for the game

You're right, I was being unduly facetious.
Try booking your tickets now to ensure satisfaction, or at least as soon as your club has them on sale.

It is a worry. The attendance last year for Wakey's game was 8,775. I have booked my plane and hotel, but not sure now whether I will get into the game. Not good.

It's also hard to work out the Catalan baseline support, because the figures are all over the place. Well below 7,000 for Crusaders but over 9,000 for Salford. It does seem that the home support is over 7,000 and so what arrangements are being made to accomodate travelling away fans who will have travelled some distance for the game?

Maybe they should all go to the union ground.
