Fair point but every single football club could use that argument in order not to increase away allocation. Wycombe or Oxford could say " Let's limited local derbies to 1000 away thus saving on polcing". I rather fill up a ground which should be the aim of every football club operating. Most clubs do. Plymouth being an obvious case in point. However, I would agree that we could be more flexible on away allocation for the 4-5 games a year that the away allocation is sold out. Did I imagine that there is also a plan to put up additional seating behind the away terrace as well as the south-west and north-east stand?I was wondering this myself, and I don't actually think it was official documented anywhere? I remember reading about it on here, but my guess is that it was chinese whispers and misinterpretation of the original statement put out by the club in regards "2 new stands". |

The old graphic showed a stand at the away section.... But they have now updated the graphic that shows the new stands to be covered and all correct sponsor names etc....  |

Yeah, that's how I remembered it. Maybe that SW stand is a new one after all. Apologies, looks like I may have been wrong. |

Oh fair enough I didn't realise that. So they actually have changed the plan from having a seated South-East Stand for away supporters, to not having one, but without explaining this? Sounds familiar! |

Mind you the new one doesn't list any away areas at all.... I guess that as it's for home tickets there no need to highlight them.... |

Only on gaschat can a 10 page thread on a single subject leave you further away from knowing what's going on than you were already....

Also I think the Family stand and the away stand would have had sight problems

All I know 1 image has a seated stand above the away terrace and in the other image there is no away terrace full stop. Just turnstiles!! |

Looking at it, it appears to hold 384. If they would only build won 100 times bigger

I'm still amazed that even with a newly designed stand going in they have so many upright supports restricting the view....
