I’ll second that, hound. I enjoyed last season, overall, with maybe one or two downers through the season. Looking forward to this one despite the threat of us having some tough games, potentially.

See you on Saturday then Alan.
Together we are stronger.

Would anyone know the full capacity of the South stand and also how many seats are not sold due to the unreserved seating precautions?

I believe it’s something in the region of 10%

it's 50% you get back that's what I got last season

East and west have much better views. It's a shame we had to build the ground like we did and have 20 yards between the pitch to front row

I wonder if the space from pitch to stands is something to do with the level of certification the stadium possesses?

If you are really lucky I might see you as well.

Just generally about the South Stand , I think we need to observe and see how things evolve this season before we change much. We know how quickly things can change in football so the ebb and flow of ticket demand will always happen.

For example, if folk can't get tickets in the South, what location as they choosing as an alternative? Are they picking the next available block in East or West? How many are we talking about and how often will it happen? Does it really matter to them?  Is it detracting from their matchday experience?

If it's something that's going to happen regularly, then we may need to gather alot more feedback to understand the size of the problem if there is one. For example, we could say expand the South Stand on both sides by another block...but then we have to consider access to concourses and exits, how many reserved ST holders would be affected in those expanded areas? Lots of things to consider.

I think long term we should look at the rail safe standing for the south this should allow to sell to the capacity. I have no idea what the costs are involved in this though but the way they are built now with the option to ‘unlock’ the seat part for certain events etc. nowt worse then nearly going flying over the knee high seat in front when a goal goes in

[IDM]

I think GB said in his recent interview that safe standing isn’t on the agenda yet, Money being spent on the training ground etc instead.

A couple of factors. The try scoring area  known as the in goal area and then a safe run off for the rugby players makes the case for the large area behind the goals.

But also, it wouldn't be so bad if we had a full sized football pitch. Ours is 100 meters long, where a full size pitch is 105 meters. Adding 2.5 at each end would mean the goal line would be just beyond the current back of the net. Might this change one day, I hope so.....there is scope for it to happen.

Definitely mate, I'll come over and have a chat.

Only 1,631 available home tickets left.

[colincramb]

Only 1,631 available home tickets left.

Before other blocks are opened. Currently we are only selling two thirds of the east and west stands

Quite right. But, it's going to be the best attended first Home game for a long time, considering holiday season and the races being on too. Good Times to bring on The Champions!

[dknward2]

Just done a count on the online ticket site and we have 1858 left I’m guessing you missed a block

[philsky]

South stand sold out fantastic effort everyone

Now let’s sell out the west and east

It is a great effort but need to remember lots of ST holders will be away plus the cut in non reserved seating.

Still brilliant though and I can't wait.

This, I’m an sth and can’t make the game

Let the club know and they will resell your ticket and give you a rebate.

Thanks. Just done it. I'm away on Saturday

[colincramb]

I’d hazard a guess we’ve sold in the region of 8k in the home end so far. Probably sell at least another 500 before Saturday and then walk ups on top. Could be talking a home gate in excess of 9k

[graingrover]

There will be lots away on holiday still so a home attendance of 8000 would be exceptionally good .

[KingKendrick]

Yeah probably not high up on the agenda. From what I’ve seen Celtic converted just under 3000 seats to the rail style for 500k and city did 7000 for 500k also so wouldn’t be cheap by any stretch looking at those numbers

Coming such a long way, anything above 500 is a great effort. Look forward to seeing you and hope your journey is trouble free.

Every trip for us is a mammoth journey but we rarely bring less than 400-500 for an away game unless it's a Tue night in Feb lol. All the best for your season

My rough calc, including Exeters @600 puts us around 8610. Ish.

Deffo above what I estimated earlier in the thread.

Edit: if we beat 9002 v Blackpool 2013/14 (Championshi), it will be the highest opening home attendance since 2011/12 of 11344 v West Ham United !!

[dknward2]

I thought about 8000 doing well, obviously some will be away on holiday so won't be the same number be should still be rocking

I reckon we’ve already surpassed it in terms of home fans. Never really read too much into what away fans bring, but I bet Blackpool would have brought 1000 minimum that day. So we’ve already bettered the home support with 2 days to go
