South stand is going to be used this sat ( all being well) , as before with the same capacity as temporary seats . Then they need building regs approval. Then we have to have use it with 50% capacity, then 75% ( test events) . From Tom Gorringe . Heโs an absolute clown. Just post a statement for Christ sake. Is he allowed?

Normally test events are not done with paying customers - not sure if that's a law/rule or just how it works in general, but that's probably why no tickets are being sold and no comms being released just yet.
When Luton held their first test event in their new stand earlier this year the tickets were given to certain club members, various hospitality customers, local residents and some of the builders....

Sums up the last 50+ years for me!

What's all the fuss. Regarding the "much missed" SW Stand tents only about 15% of supporters have ever sat in them when at full capacity and usually much less! The new SW "temporary" stand will hold 25% of attending supporters until further capacity is attained elsewhere in the Mem. Full licenced capacity is never allowed for football games to allow separation of home/away fans. Thus 25% is not actually true as when at full legal capacity to separate home/away.
Thus 75%-85% of home fans could not/would not want to sit in the new stand. Having followed the Gas to over 130 away grounds I have been "forced" mainly to stand on open terraces at the end of the pitch. Rarely have I been allowed to sit pitch side. Probably the worst ground I have been to is Sunderland. You need oxygen to sit in the high level away end stand and can only just see the near goalmouth, the other end is so far away it's guess work who is doing what! The Gas fans out sang and out shouted the Sunderland fans all match possibly because nobody could see what was happening on the pitch the other end. The Mem, nice and cosy at least in my lofty seat in the beautiful East Stand. UTG

I just messaged Tom on Twitter, and fair play he replied very quickly. He said he is hopeful they can let some in this Saturday,
This is what he said:
We dont have a date for the opening of the stand. All being well it will be used this weekend in the same quantities as the previous temporary stands. We when require Building Regs approval and once we have that SAG have to observe 2 test events, one at 50% and the other 75% before we get to full capacity.
At the temporary level there wont be any match tickets to purchase. Our team are working with the council to get us up to full capacity as soon as possible. Thanks for your support and patience, Tom.

The Mem, nice and cosy at least in my lofty seat in the beautiful East Stand. UTG The problem is that there aren't enough seats, full stop. In our declining years, ending with the conference season I was treated to two free matches in hospitality per season, and one in a box by virtue of being a share scheme member. It was always easy to buy East Stand tickets. A season ticket isn't really an option as I am a five hour round trip away. I'm obviously delighted that the club is doing better (less pleased about the disappearance of the freebies, but never mind), but now reaching an age where I would rather sit than stand. Several mates don't even have the choice. The new stand looks like a godsend! I've not been to the New Sunderland stadium, but it would have to go some to be worse than Brighton's With Dean, where thanks to the athletics track the away end was in a different postcode and at ground level, so it was pretty much impossible to work out what was going on And whether it was in our penalty area or theirs.

Why can't the club just get on and organise the two test events as they must have a rough idea when work will be completed, I doubt it'll be that easy to get around 2,000 people to turn up for them this side of the Festive season with less than a week's notice?

Maybe Tom could do a few nights of standup comedy as test events.

That's the way to do it, issue free tickets for the test event after a game or in between if SAG dictate otherwise and use your own fans, bribe them with a free pasty or beer voucher in exchange for the time and trouble taken and bingo, Robert is your mothers brother..............
