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?

No

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!
