Afc wimbledon

Home tickets selling well with only the osmond B block having any grouped seats together.
AFC Wimbledon have sold just less than 500 which makes me question why we couldn't have put them in the corner? Still a few days left but I'll be surprised if they sell many more tickets (unless they're allowed to pay on the day which I'm unaware of)

You’ve inadvertently answered your own question there.

Block A & B have a combined capacity of 519 seats.

AFC Wimbledon are nearly at that point with 3 days of sales remaining and will bring more than total amount on Saturday.

We can’t restrict them to below 10% of total ground capacity and whilst it might be frustrating if there are 300-400 empty seats in the away section when all home areas are sold out, those are the rules.

Fair point I guess..
I assume we share the Main stand facilities and don't have our own toilets in the corner

Blocks D&E appear to have a combined capacity of 922. I believe part of Block C can be opened up if necessary (to whichever club is not in the corner) to make a total possible capacity of 1,150 when segregation is in place.

This is the very reason i don't see why we can't put seats in that cage corner , not that difficult surely - we are using that section for the bigger games so it would not even need segregation , there must be some sort of reason its out of use ?

Putting the 85 seats in the Pontoon and filling in that corner seem the most logical way to increase the capacity short term without faffing around with temp seating or the layout, it may only yield 300 seats more but its 300 more fans in for the bigger games when demand will outstrip supply .

Back in 1995 the club didn’t just bolt seats into the existing stands. All 3 stands that were converted had the standing terracing demolished and new terracing put in place more suitable for seating.

The cage area wasn’t touched. It contains the last remnants of the old pre-1995 terracing at BP. It’s unsuitable for putting seats in and is lower than the new terracing in the Osmond.

It’s a non-starter.

Based on your previous comment that Blocks D and E contain 922 seats, adding another 300 seats would mean (depending what capacity figure you use) that blocks D and E no longer meet the 10% requirement.

No. 922 is more than 10% of BP capacity.

The reason I counted only D & E is that they are the only 2 blocks open for Salford.

The reality is…

Blocks A & B = 519
Blocks C (part), D & E = 1,100 approx.

Fair .

Is there no way it can be converted though ?

It seems an obvious waste of space , in an already limited area .

What would your thoughts be Golly on Blundell Park redevelopment if we are to stay long term ?

Sounds somewhat daft, but couldn’t a food outlet (or similar) go there as a temporary measure 🤷🏻‍♂️
