Let’s forget about th3 green seats they will be long gone and I can’t see the new owners wasting money on something temporary. If crowds remain high with regular osmand use then it will accelerate the decision on what todo with the main stand

Presumably they'd have to take the roof off to sort out  the views on those 300 seats, can't imagine that would be practical though, might be cheaper to build out one of the corners.

Not sure if it has already been considered but as this game will surely be a sell out for the home fans, why not utilise all the seats in the directors section?
Seats can be used there for the match sponsors and match ball sponsors freeing up more seats they usually occupy further behind the directors

Temporary seating, If filled, would make money not lose it as people would have to pay to sit in it.

If it wasn't cost effective such things wouldn't exist.

On top of more money to be made in terms of programmes, food, drink etc. Not to mention allow more vocal home support and get more people involved in attending and thus involved in supporting town in future.
I don't know what the break even point would be to make it worthwhile though - depends if its a one off or for longer term I suppose.

OK, fair enough Kristine - I'll get back in my box.

Certainly wasn't a criticism of you or the club. It'll be a shame if we have empty seats and Town fans unable to attend the game, I think we can all agree on that, but it sounds like it's unavoidable so fair enough.

Haha no problem. Always ask questions, certainly wasn’t taken as a criticism

Will be considered I’m sure

here's a radical solution.
in the two open corners each side of the pontoon stand, why not get a local scaffolding company to put some steps in, to allow standing supporters.
we could get another 500 in the ground supporting Town.

FAO Kristine. Why are the seats considered restricted view the same price as other seats? Shouldn't they be cheaper to relect the experience rather than it being a case of 'well we told you they were restricted, take it or leave it'. I had always assumed they were a quid or two cheaper, just feels fair.

Tough one. We never have sold out before. Pre this season people could have bought the restricted viewed seats and then sat somewhere else. If its looking likely to be a regular home sell out I'm sure the club will look at this.

The club isn't allowed to reintroduce standing areas without a change of government policy the club had to go all seater in 1995 because of being in the championship at the time..

Who the hell would believe this situation OUR GROUNDS NOT BIG ENOUGH there’s now only one way to guarantee a place in the stadium that’s to buy a season ticket.

I’ve believed for years that the grounds not big enough , a club of our size and potential needs to have something nearly twice the capacity .
Our only problem has been lack of ambition over the last 29 years which has hopefully now come to an end .
If we had a decent  ground with good facilities and good parking ect we’d be getting a couple of thousand more than we will on Saturday.
People saying let’s fill the ground we’ve got first don’t realise that the current ground is actually holding us back even now
