Does the 12,300 also include the directors box which I assume, probably wrongly, is non revenue generating.
I know some people who have season cards there.They're not free.:smile:

So one season 10 years ago we were in the Championship, therefore we need a ground 3.5 times our average attendance?
Brighton have always been a better supported club than us. The only time they had low attendances, was when they played at the Withdean(?) ground, which only held around 7,000.
When they played at the Goldstone ground they regularly had attendances between 10- 18,000 in the old 3rd & 2nd Divisions.
In 2004 I saw their play off final at Cardiff (long story!) V Bristol City. They took 32,000 that day.
We couldn't muster that at nearer Wembley, for our 1st visit v Crewe, never mind about going to Cardiff!.
You are correct..certain games we were full at 11k but could have got 15k+ and certain cup ties pushed 20k+
I seem to remember something about us selling over 33,000 tickets, if not there was at least 32,000 of us there.The crowd v Crewe was 43,842. An official split of the crowd was never given but when you look at the pictures of how far round the Upper Tier we had it, must have been about 32,000 and I cant believe Crewe had more than 12,000 there.
I assumed your mates ,that you relied on for player summaries had seats in the restricted view seats in the very corner of the South Lower :smile:

It's filling up nicely in the home end with 5 days still to go - have any of our regular Col Ewe posters got any updates on away ticket sales?

And we're getting crowds of over 10k now and outside the play offs in League 2.
It's not just about capacity (though its very evident RH is too small now) it's also about facilities and comfort. Would you rather go to the flix and watch a film where the toilets are clean, nice catering, lots of leg room and nice and clean or go to another flix that has the smell of 70 years of stale smoke, urine on the toilet floor and everytime someone moved behind you, you had a knee in the back? Lets say the tickets were the same price, I know what I'd rather have.

Weren't we promoted to League 1?
And we got relegated straight away. As I said previously, one season ten years ago is not justification for a new stadium.
How are these 22,000 people going to get there? Very difficult to walk to, inaccessible by train and only 1,000 parking spaces.
Any updates on ticket sales for saturday guys??:loyalsupporter::loyalsupporter:
