It's quite clear we will not be filling this any time soon. It looks poor and isn't contributing to the atmosphere.

As a suggestion which shouldnt cause any issues in the concourse:


Net off above the stairs. Squeeze the attendees together.
Would be interesting to see how many ST are sold in that netted area. Wouldn't imagine many.

Was/is the stadium too big and perhaps a 25k capacity more realistic?

Rip the seats out and make a safe standing area. Something like this:

Free beer, one in every 10 seats has a collapsable back for falling over bants and everyone gets entered into a draw to play the last 10 minutes.

Would actually see you making more runs down the channel than any of our lot did last night

Forcing people lower is all very well when it’s dry but not when it’s pissing it down.

I'm sure those who are that bothered about the slim chance of them getting wet under a covered stand could find a seat further up.

They need to close the pay on the gate corner like they did about 10 years ago. If you moved the thousand or so sat in there behind the goal, it would look an awful lot better.

Certainly was for Wasps - 15000 on a good day would have been enough. Plenty of options in and around London.
