I’m sure this issue has and still is being looked at, it’s worth money.
Not sure how many block 11 holds probably about 3k, fill it that’s nearly 2million quid over a season.
Having said that if safe standing is to be made available what is the point unless it attracts extra support. Last two fixtures it was about 21/22k home support needs a significant increase say 3/4k extra and regular home support to make it worthwhile imo and add to that they would have to open block 11.

According to that image I posted, block 11 holds 1,029. Blocks 11 to 13 hold 1,858. Whether opening them creates extra revenue depends on whether it is new bums in seats, or current bums moving from elsewhere.

That is the issue I was getting at, if it’s not new bums on seats why bother.

The view of the pitch from that balcony is excellent. It's a great waste for nobody to be there

The whole exercise is prompted by safety concerns, as per the original post on this thread. There's also the question of giving people the choice to stand. So it has never been purely (or even mainly) about revenue.
