What's 100 divided by 5?? Answer 20.

Thus 20 percent for  each of the 4 clubs.....the last 20 percent for the EFL

I think the EFL get more than 20%

But if the four clubs each get 20 percent, then that's 80 percent taken up. So it is highly likely it is 20 percent

[ravenrover]

Thought  the EFL take 50% and the rest is shared so 25% of 50%?

The South West corner in front of the screen was empty and much of the North West corner too.

Its a shame, because the South West corner seats are covered by a filthy old rag. And a big screen without any highlights is pointless in my opinion

Very rate you get to see replays in a ground.

We used too, it added to the overall experience. But we can't afford a part to repair the screen apparently

The advertising revenue that the big screen generates is probably more than  what we would raise if the tickets in that block were sold. Its not there for replays, its there to make money for the club

[Filo]

As far as I am aware the whole stadium is being used for the RL Challenge Cup semi-final with minimum - if any - segregation. Bound to sell-out with two well supported teams playing - so you will see what the current capacity is with the Hull KR - Wigan attendence next week.

Be interesting to see if the big screen is used in replays at that game

[Move DRFC]

The club need to be working to get the capacity back up to at least 14,000. Agree with most of the comments that it’s disappointing our 15000 seater stadium is suddenly a 13000.

Understand a couple hundred for screen and a couple hundred for South unreserved but that’s it. The away end has a massive metal fences bordering it from the east and west so not even sure why any netting is needed usually (obv needed when Donny fans are in the North).

[drfcsteve]

For me it’s not a massive priority to get the capacity back up, we don’t use it, I just wondered why a “sell out” had gone from 15,001 to less than 13,000.

[WheatleyRover]

Segregation and un-used seats in the West/South corner, end of the West towards the North and West/North corner. Also can't sell all the seats in the South due to being Unreserved.

[Padge_DRFC]

Not a single bit of segregation at Norwich v Leeds today.

[silent majority]

So basically we will never have a repeat of the Leeds attendance because seats are cut massively.

Not with the current incumbent who is the safety officer, not even close!

You make it sound so simple, when the truth is it’s much more complicated than that.

The Safety Advisory Group have a lot to say on the terms and conditions of how a stadium is operated to ensure the licence they issue is current and operative. No licence no games, as simple as that.

They in turn report to the Sports Ground Safety Authority and their inspectors turn up quite regularly at matches to ensure compliance.

I did a stadium tour a few years back, and was told the blocks at the north end of the west stand weren’t used as to do so would mean much more policing and therefore more cost.

I don’t know the maths nor if this is still the same, but it’s what I was told at the time.

[colincramb]

Just a thought (and don’t know how possible it is) but why not move the screen to the northwest corner? If its only real purpose is for advertising then it doesn’t really matter where it is and it would mean we gain some extra home seats. Makes sense to me

Pretty impossible to be honest. When it was installed it had to be done where the resources were available and that was in the SW corner, a link could be my made directly into the existing IT infrastructure. It wasn’t possible anywhere else.
