Maybe those 254 seats are corporate?


Not according to this

No mention of corporate seats etc.Just seats!

If there was someone who had to know the exact capacity of the ground, who is currently responsible for managing it, has to make decisions on stewarding and policing it, has to sell the tickets, has to know and agree away allocations and is looking at increasing financial impact of increasing it, I would simply just accept that they probably know what they’re talking about.

We've lost 254 seats.

Main   2277
Pon    1808
YU      1982
YL         826
OS      1884

Total  8777

Quoted ground capacity  9031 - 8777 = 254 fewer seats.


How many boxes are there? I seem to think 16 and there's about 16 people per box, so very close to 254 there

I think we may have solved it then. 16x16=196. I reckon that the 2 rows in the press box plus the 2 rows for players and staff in front are probably close to 58. If they are excluded from the capacity then the Main Stand corporate seats probably add up to that too.

I'm pretty sure that the "missing" seats are corporate and possibly press.

As 16x16=256, you might have got nearer than you thought. 😉

I agree with you, but surely somebody knows the exact figure.

Yeah Debbie Cook I’d imagine.

Why can’t people just accept it?

Cos we are massive and we have that many fans, we can't get them all into the ground, therefore we need extra seating.

Our biggest crowd last season was 7818 including 1500 away fans and we had one other over 7000.

If we are restricting away fans to 1200, then I can't see where we will need extra capacity, and if it transpires that we do, then that's the time to have a look at it.

Debbie and Jason have said all this but it seems to be an obsession with some fans.

I'm actually decent at maths but clearly I need to wake up and have a coffee before doing multiplication!
