Just 18 tickets left in South Stand!

[normal rules]

The team have been building all season.

The film "fields of gold" quotes - "if you build it they will come"

This would appear to be the case this weekend.

I bet the bloody queues will be a nightmare! Be struggling to get a piss at half time never mind a fag, pint and a pie. (Not necessarily in that order!)

Never had this problem in the Conference!

Great news. Let's hope the North Stand fills up, a la Swansea when we ended up with near 13000 home fans (a record for the KM)

I hope the bottle bars will be open on sat?? I notice they haven't been open for some time but would make perfect sense on sat

It's Field of Dreams, this is Fields of Gold

Indeed you are right, I had the sting song in my mind at the time for some reason. And for those who haven't seen the film it's a good one, albeit about baseball.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Build that extra tier on the East stand and they will come!

I know we keep wheeling this one out but we can dream can't we? It could be a fitting legacy to JRs tenure.

If and it's a big if this ever happens please someone suggest the roof is see through to try and keep some grass on the pitch!

[colincramb]

Got to admit, it would look superb!

Looks wonderful.

If we ever get to the stage where we can afford to build that then we can also afford to put undersoil heating in!

Keepmoat, one of the biggest building firms in the country. Make it happen before I pop me clogs!!

Thats true.

Cant they just use the bits that get leftover after some jobs ?

As much as it looks good, I would hate to see it until we are in a position to regularly fill the seats we already have.

Look at the soulless near empty stadiums around the country (Darlington, Middlesboro, Coventry, MK Dunce, etc, etc...)

I would hate seeing that at the Keepmoat.

It hasn't exactly been packed this season has it?

And it wasn't last year either - thats my point.

Come on lads. It's about dreams not pissing on my chips !

Assuming that you've got a couple of years left in you, then the dream could become reality when we reach the commercial wonderland of the Premiershit.

[colincramb]

The potential is there lads, as evidenced by the clamour for tickets this week. We have seen it before with other games, we just need somehow to turn these people into regulars and we would have a fighting chance

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Exackerley. An extension like the one above would lift the capacity to around 18000. If we can capture more of our ever expanding diverse population in Donny then say why not.

[RobTheRover]

And maybe have a business model initially based on the same budgets,  therefore a reduced ticket price x more people = same income. As the old adage goes,  "stack em high,  sell em cheap"

[rover-n-out]

Got my ticket for the South Stand today at lunchtime. Asked the lady in T/O how many we have sold. She said just short of 11,000 not inc. Notts. County, who have sold about 150.
Poor showing from them at the moment.
We should pick up a few more being 1.5 days to go, and also the pay on the dayers. Looking good for a healthy crowd on Sat'di. 

[Mr1Croft]

Well look at the main positive here, if we sell 5000 extra adult tickets than what we normally expect that is an extra revenue of £100,000 before extra revenue from kiosk and programme sales. Nice little sum on top of prize money to go into next years playing budget.

Would it be an idea to have a sale in the club shop for this seasons shirts with this being the last chance they get to sell them in huge numbers before the new one goes on sale?

[Mr1Croft]

I love the idea behind this. We could only play through the day in sunlight. Weve save a fortune with no floodlights (as on the design) to waste electric!

[Superspy]

It looks amazing, I just think a mirror image would be better, IE a second tier on the west stand rather than east, primarily because the second tier seats would give the best view in the house....except for the fact the sun would be in your fact at match time through the winter months. haha.

[IDM]

That extension looks nice, but I'm guessing would add what, 1500-1800 seats?   I doubt that would be cost effective.

Better to do both sides, or all 4.

I thunk the design looks great, don't get me wrong

rover n out - County have nothing to play for, can't see them bringing many more at all.

I wonder how many of these are freebies through voucher M, schools etc?

10315 + 272 away on KM site figures a few minutes ago.  I guess that represents the sales at the end of yesterday.
