How much would it cost to add an extra wall and fence so enough seats available for 10% required at one end of Osmond Stand to inc the corner


Got to say the wall idea gave me a good laugh ,fair play - we could bring a new concept to 'a wall of noise' and how to block out away fans ; just build a square one around them ,more like a pen .

I can't believe we havnt moved ground but hey.....the only open corner that could possibly take temporary seats would be Harrington open corner....pontoon/findus corner has food outlets taking up room....Even Harrington open corner has emergency vehicle access , press rooms, food outlet so even there would be cramped.
The original temp seating were on open ground, it's not the same footprint anymore so don't even think there would be much increase in capacity.


Temp seating structures aren't as big as a permanent stand.  They wouldn't go as far back as the existing stands.  I believe there would still be sufficient room for any food outlets etc.  That said, if we're not putting temp seating in because a burger van is currently there...

It's not as simple as it was when we had the green seats there, requirements have changed so it would require more thought.  But considering the number of season tickets we've sold in back-to-back seasons and with no new ground even peeking on the horizon, I can't help think we're missing a trick.  I've honestly never known so much enthusiasm and interest in GTFC, that dates back to the early 90's.  Yeah there was the odd fleeting moments of promotions, Wembley visits or big cup games, but on a consistent basis this is the biggest.  Definitely in terms of capacity struggling to meet demand.  A decent start to this season and we'll be asking people to bring their own deck chairs to sit in the corners!
