quick attendance question... : Sat Jan 30, 2010 9:33 pm  

hey guys, 1st of all; congrats and what looks like a great start to the new set up.

Question = ive been told your capacity is 10500, and that you were pretty close to a sell out. But having watched the game today on sky+ (to drunk last night to watch ) 1 full stand looked completely empty?
Is this stand getting repairs or something and if so what is the expected capacity etc.

Cheers boyos!

It's the old Kop end [ apparently one of the biggest standing area's still left in this country ] holds about 5,000

Nope, won't be opening again. The Club owners are actively seeking funding to get a new stand built. Some of the land that the stand currently sits on will be used for the Uni student flats thats going up atm (first phase is already in motion). Theres no safety certificate anymore, so not much chance for one or 2 games.
