season ticket sales (12 Viewers)

[The Philosopher]

Yes, I'm playing with AI a bit too much tonight, but this is apparently a 39,000 capacity CBS, achieved by adding 7 additional rows and lowering the pitch.

Yes, I mentioned this earlier.

Apparently drainage and underfloor heating are an issue.

Just for fun, what would AI make of the concept of safe standing for the “new” areas. What capacity then?

There's a subterranean void under somewhere, like the casino but left raw I believe.

Put the Leicester fans there when they visit. They’ll feel at home.

There's no net increase for safe standing so would be the same I imagine. Guessing it is doable if there was the will and the need, although you'd probably lose a bit with additional exits etc.

The CBS will never be expanded. They would never get the planning.

The chaos in and around the ground when get 27k is bad enough. Knowing how anal the SAG are, we’d expand then have to limit ticket sales for safety reasons anyway.

 

[SHUNT31]

In addition to that, even if we sold out every week, how many extra fans would we get in there week in week out? Ticket sales make up a relatively small amount of total revenue and it’s staggeringly less with PL money.

With construction costs at an all time high, the cost of expanding would not be worth the extra revenue you gain.

Look like you/AI have filled in the large vehicle access maintenance cut through down by Singers Corner on image.
Would be great if could do that and then they could be retracted for access after match.
Always thought the circulation stairwells up from concourse take out a lot of seats and stairs/access at back of stand would be better, although expensive and probably not great fire safety perspective.
Really like the idea of lowering the pitch....might work.
In reality though woukd we need more than 36k ... which I think based on ticket sales for Man U and Luton CPOF was about the extent of our most loyal fanbase.
Stadiums bigger than ours also mean 2 tiers and that ruins atmospheres and you need binoculars to see pitch.
Around 32k is a perfect size for fan viewing , acoustics and also parking/post match escape.

Why dont they install a glass roof that you can walk on, like the glass panels you can walk on up blackpool tower. Seating could be installed on the roof and supporters could observe the action from above

Worth remembering that in 1987-88 our average was about 18k, which was the 10th best in division 1 that season

And that definitely included a bonus number of season tickets (bought to secure the right to Wembley final tickets)

After we made HR all seater it was never the same again. The CBS can be electric now, makes my left ear buzz in that corner when it’s really loud .

The first or second time it was made all seater?

 

[Ashdown]

First time really. I remember going as a kid in the Sky Blue Stand and the noise coming from the West Terrace was fantastic….but that was terraced then.
Post seats the sound wave was never quite the same.

And it would help if it had a players tunnel and dugout.

Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown

This thread is wild.
People talking about extending a ground we don't own to accommodate supporters we don't have .

Roll on August!

I've started digging up central 6 with a trowel in preparation.
