Another factor to consider is it will soon be winter. Fans will not want to sit in a stand which is open to the elements. So any added seating area's will need a roof on it. With a free hot drink at half time .

Quoted from 1739
Never in a million years did I think 3 months ago there would be threads on here discussing temporary seating.
I think you’d have looked more sane talking about shutting the osmond 3 months ago rather than contemplating temporary seating.
I’d be curious to see what we’ve budgeted for. Hopefully this extra income gives Hurst the funds to sign/ keep players required in January. I still forget that we’ve got 4 players in which Hollowords signed so hopefully we can shift to free up some wages (Rose, Morallis, Spokes, Gibson).
A rough estimation let’s say we’ve had 11 match days with an extra 2000 people coming through the gate paying an average of 15 quid each. That’s over £300,000 to play with if needs be. And looking at things at this moment in time we don’t need much do we? If we managed to keep all the loanees I’d probably say we’d only need a winger and a striker.
I see what you mean about using the extra income for players in January. Wouldn't it be better utilised though in getting that "monkey off our back" sooner? Maybe a more appropriate adjective would be "leech on our jugular".

Getting promoted must be worth an extra million quid or so each season to the club. Might as well go for broke and spend any cash we have floating about in Jan on a few players who might get us over the line and kill 2 birds with 2 stone.

I don't think we should pay him off any sooner than we have to. He agreed a three year repayment schedule (accelerated by any incoming transfer fees) so let's stick with that. I assume that he transfer fee clause only related to payers at the club when he left? Anyone know?

Hard to believe that only as recently as 2014, Yeovil were in The Championship.

Does the 6700 sold include Yeovil's allocation?

I agree with Ska Face, use any additional income to strengthen the squad to hopefully ensure promotion, the most important thing this season is promotion, then consolidate in league 2 over the next 2/3 years while we pay of Mr Fenty, then when we’re dept free start to look at further promotions.

Well been and collected my tickets at 2pm and ticket office / shop very busy 4-5 staff on all answering phones . I asked about a raffle prize and straight away the answer no problem came back . The Club are doing great work in terms of building an affinity with the community outside of the 90 mins on the pitch . The word of the public spreads like wildfire in a small community like NE Lincs and these sell out crowds are testament not only to PH and his players but the massive culture change within the club itself . We the fans talking seriously about the problems we now have off the pitch and it’s largely the lack of seats whilst in the 5th tier of English football. This is an extraordinary change in mentality in less than a year from the board.team,club staff and fans alike . I have no idea but suspect commercially it must be a similar scenario with support from local business? This is a Club on the up and whilst we may yet not win the league or promotion we will take some serious stopping . UTM
