This is beginning to feel like the Mcmenemy era something that was not achieved despite many subsequent years in the equivalent  of the championship. Ground capacity is likely to be an issue soon if the momentum continues. The new owners attitude rightly was a new ground is not a priority as we don’t fill Blundell Park . I think we have demonstrated we will don’t that if there is delivery in the pitch so that ones back to the new owners please. In the short term it’s time to start looking at adding seats in BP corners etc . Also an opportunity to sell more season tickets to guarantee a seat with a discount for games gone providing further secured income beyond that expected.

I suppose they have the option of putting temporary seating in the open corners. It’s been put in before for big cup games.

We’ll have the option of taking the bulk of the Osmond most weeks if necessary. That’ll give us somewhere close to 7,500 except when we get a big following, which is rare at this level.

If we reach a point where putting temporary seating in the corners becomes a genuine economical consideration, then we’re in a seriously good place.

When I first started going to matches the corners were open terrace and between the Barrett and Pontoon is where I generally watched most matches. If the weather was too bad then used to stand in the Barrett stand. With safe standing now being trialled in premier league clubs is this an option ?

Other than Notts County, Stockport, Halifax and Chesterfield we can put away fans in the corner. Until we start selling out the osmond we should spend the budget elsewhere.

The trouble with safe standing as I understand it, is it doesn’t really add capacity to grounds, but just allows you to stand safely i.e. stand instead of sitting.

Least that’s how I see it.

One thing for sure, if we carry on like this, the the old adage of “ Build it they will come” will apply. 😀
