Firstly can anyone clear up . Why our capacity is 2500 short ?. I believe Exeter capacity is around 9500 and they got 9200 yesterday.
Secondly : if we sell 6000 season tickets ( as suggested ) and we ' earmark' away terrace and South stand ( currently no S.T sales). According to my awful maths that could equate to 8000 fans . I Believe 10 teams will bring 1800 plus next season .
This means only 2000 tickets COULD be avaliable each game if current restrictions continue and the club allows away fans to take up the designated areas.
Of course this is all good news for sales but general day match tickets could be a premium?.

Hopefully season ticket sales go through the roof. I’ve got mine already but I wonder whether the club could extend the early bird prices, would surely sell a huge amount more now after yesterday.

10 teams who would fit new club policy of not selling season tickets in away sections..
Derby sheff wed sunderland Plymouth Bolton pompey Ipswich charlton Exeter Oxford. Maybe Swindon if promoted and FGR and Cheltenham could bring a few. Like I said all good news ..

The capacity will rise slightly with more room on the East Terrace when the temporary family stand is removed. |

We’ve lost loads due to implementing policies on not allowing supporters on the top of the terracing on the east side or at pitch level throughout the ground.
Then we’ve also lost capacity from the Family Stand

Then we’ve also lost capacity from the Family Stand I saw a tweet from Gorringe saying that next year we're hoping to be able to have fans at pitch level, and I've heard somewhere on here there's plans to get rid of the family stand so fingers crossed that'll boost the maximum capacity a fair bit. |

Let’s hope the idiots who invaded the pitch on 85 minutes haven’t made the advisory group rethink that decision! Back to a 12,000 capacity is the minimum needed with the size of some of the clubs in league one next season. I think and hope this group of players will thrive next season and we will need every space for our fans. |

I assume they'll sell a load more anyway at whatever price they now decide to charge for next season? |

We need to get to a minimum of 12k next season . Hope the club are looking into every possible angle to increase capacity. |

Would it not be possible to extend the south stand all the way along like it used to be, possibly make it a bit deeper too, same for the South West stand or even have the two joined in the corner?

Rovers average attendance this season is 6500.
So can see a slight increase due to bigger away following from teams like Derby Ipswich Portsmouth Forest Green only joking and Plymouth Argyle

Probably in the region of 7500 after yesterday. Hopefully we're playing well enough to average crowds similar to the ones we had under Darrell Clarke; heightening the urgency to boost capacity and/or formalise a stadium plan. |

I thought clubs had to give 10% of capacity to away fans for league games, and 15% for FA Cup? If Derby want to bring a big following, but we can sell 9k home tickets then that's tough, they'll only get 1000
