Maddogbob Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 That didn't last long. Why we couldn't open more seats is baffling me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Given the rumours of Brighton selling around 2,000, wouldn't it have made more sense for Wednesday to have the top tier and Brighton to have the bottom tier? Or would that mean half of the South and North stands would need to be shut down for segregation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if what you say is true, and Season Ticket Holders get 2 tickets per ID, final tickets won't even make it past Members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I'm hoping this fiasco accelerates the demise of that stand... I sincerely hope so. I watched the west ham v man utd game last night. There had been serious trouble before the match and yet both sets of supporters were separated by 10 yards and a line of stewards. It is rubbish especially when there are still plenty of fans wanting to go It's a disgrace. Brighton fans should havd been given the lower lep. Owls fans 4.5k top tier. But that's just common sense and we know now that it doesn't exist at our ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebneeb Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Maybe we should increase our ground capacity, so once every 5 years we can sell out, and most of the rest of the time it can be 75% empty instead of just 40% empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 He doesn't say ST get two tickets Sorry, I meant the structure of sales the poster says, plus the Club's decision to allow STH 2 tickets per ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KivoOwl Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 West Stand holds 8,000 and we can only sell 3,500. Mr. Chansiri has shown he is working on Wednesday as a business - he'll know 4,500 empty seats simply won't do. Whether we go up or not I'd be staggered if he isn't already working on getting our capacity back to 40,000. We all know that because of the disaster the authorities are looking for every opportunity they can to limit capacity to ensure it never happens again. Our job has to be to take away those opportunities by rectifying the problems. The two main problems with the West Stand are the lack of concourse space and the bottleneck outside Leppings Lane. Phase 1 - West Stand - Knock down the West Stand and the club shop/gymnasium building next to the North Stand - Rebuild the club shop in the corner of the car park - Rebuild West Stand with modern facilities/adequate concourse space - Build turnstiles directly outside the North Stand where the shop/gymnasium are now - remove North Stand turnstiles on Leppings Lane - This means the Leppings Lane bottleneck is solely for West Stand entrances/exists - North Stand entrances/exits would be solely via Penistone Road Phase 2 - North Stand - Extend North Stand concourses as per WC 2018 plans Phase 3 - Kop - Knock down Kop and rebuild with modern facilities/adequate concourse space/no pillars Phase 4 - South Stand Extend South Stand concourse space All the above for a capacity of 40,000+, for a lot cheaper than the cost of relocating completely.

Be happy with this, but I seriously doubt it would be cheaper by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
