Is the CBS still built as a modular stadium where it can be expanded without too much issue? Wasn’t original Arena 2000 meant to be able to do that?

how many seats do we actually have available? i know its listed as 32,609, but do we actually have that many with the shift in away seats etc?

I think that 32.6k figure is way over to be honest. Even factoring in segregation, there wasn’t 1100 empty seats against Stoke.
I’d say it’s closer to 32.2k

There were quite a few empty seats dotted all over the stadium on Saturday, coupled with excessive segregation between our fans and the Stoke supporters (this would be a column maybe one seat wide in the prem), maybe 350 tarped off seats in block 6 (again segregation) and a couple of hundred in the wing sections of hospitality, I’d be very surprised if the total capacity wasn’t close to 32600.

The seats doted around will have been classed as occupied as it’s just season ticket holders that hadn’t turned up.

It depends what you class as close? I’m only saying it’s about 400 less so that’s pretty close overall!

So is 32600 way over as you stated in your original post or pretty close overall as you have just posted? Pick a lane…

I’ll let you decide. I think it’s closer to around 32.2k rather than 32.6k

32.6k was the figure upon the stadium opening, before there was a scoreboard, and was most likely an estimate anyway.

Biggest ever crowd was a “sell out” of 32.1k for a woman’s match in which there was no segregation

Those empties dotted about were most probably counted as in attendance

Do they include season ticket holders even if not in attendance?

If you're a season ticket holder who gets counted even if you don't go can we count the same seat twice when someone buys that seat on the exchange. One way to get our biggest attendance above the stripey bastards.

No because I don’t think the away section will be full for every single game. The sections for the home fans probably will be sold out for every Premier League match although maybe not for the League Cup, depending on the attractiveness of the opposition.

We will sell out our home matches in the FA cup as we march to victory at Wembley on the semi-final and final

Be incredible to:

Go up as Champions - on track
Highest average attendance - nailed on
Highest goals scored - should do
Highest goal difference - almost certain
Top goal scorer - must be achievable for Wright

Isn't the record a women's football match?

Either way, women's football and rugby don't have segregation, so you can legally get more in.
