I see some conversations with the club on twitter saying that the stand will be shut. I am hoping this will be for the rest of the season not for the Gillingham game. I think they have said if the attendance hits 18,000 they will open the stand. I think the club are planning to allow home supporters in the other end with less segregation between the away supporters. In fairness some people have been calling for them to try and create a better atmosphere by putting home fans nearer to the away fans for some time. I'm sure some will have a moan about this but I actually think this is being done for the right reasons.
As Jungle says, from the conversations, it appears that the North stand will be shut unless we reach around 18,000 attendance, in which case they would open it. This is so that the fans aren't split across the stadium, but closer together for an atmosphere.
Though, Gillingham game, could likely be open with the number of people wanting to go, with it being the first game back and the reduced prices

I honestly think that momentum will grow the nearer to our 'home coming' we get.
This game could sell out.

Correct, they said it will be open only for the games where the ticket demand is there. It will be open against Gillingham I am sure.
They will only shut the North Stand when there is less than 18,000 attendance and the South stand will now be open so that home fans can sit near the away fans..

What about the Privilege seat holders in the closed stand ?
Can't be right, surely.
EDIT: Just read it's on Twitter. That does not mean it's correct :facepalm:

Don't see why 20k is unreasonable. Frankly we should sell out being first home game in over a year.
Tend to agree - the less time they leave for fans to buy them, the bigger the impact on the attendance. Shame if they cock this up - suspect it's due to having cut staff and logistics of returning.
Come on - our owners are masters at dealing with criminal activity :claping hands
allegedly!)
The longer the tickets take to be put on sale the less chance of a sell-out (obviously). Les time for ticket sale momentum to build and for floating fans to be talked into going.
Still can't see less than 20,000. And will be disappointed if its less than 25,000.

Did the shop being broke into stop them going on sale?
If so, surely wouldn't effect the online store?
Have only seen early this week. Bearing in mind it's a bank holiday, maybe that means tomorrow. I'm desperate to buy one!
