So we’ve adapted our away allocation to accommodate more home fans, which is great (although town fans have moaned about other clubs doing this) and we’re still none the wiser about capacity.

There doesn’t seem to be a study of how many aren’t able to get a ticket, we don’t know how many are stay away because they don’t like BP, the cage is a non starter (we all know this) and in reality, only a handful of teams will bring anything like a good away following…oh, and the pontoon has a new roof.

Clear as mud…

Quoted from Mappers
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 .


Have you seen the state of that cage corner recently? It’s not big at all, you’d struggle to get 100 seats in, and looks like it’s not been touched since 1895, never mind 1995.

My understanding with the cage is that it was to be used for a new police and PA box, which would free up extra space between the Pontoon and Main Stand.

Smart move as the cage is largely unusable for seating and it creates scope to expand.

I think we should move the away dugout to the cage, really maximise home advantage.

More importantly, are we all ready for the bi-annual Harry Pell ‘fun’?

We should take the lead from the proud footballing nation of Poland and round up all visiting away fans at Blundell Park into cages:





Doing so would be good and funny imho (until they start putting our away fans into cages at their grounds in retaliation)

The club should have put the control room in that Osmond corner right from the start.

I've been looking at YouTube videos, tryng to work out when the control room was built.  It wasn't there for the Arsenal FA Cup game in January 1986, but had been constructed by the time we played Hull in 1987.

Wouldn't be much use as police box, they wouldnt be able to see the Upper Findus
