Please correct me if wrong, but I thought that our record (capacity) attendance in the PL was 27, 742.
If so and the new capacity is to be 30, 184, with only 1,800 extra seats, do I need a new calculator!?!?!

Minus the segregation.

I thought our official capacity is 28,084 now?
In which case it still doesn't add up.

You are wrong. Our capacity (with no segregation) is 28,300 ish and we got well over 28,000 for the cup match v Everton when we were in the Championship.
With segregation (when the south stand is shared between home and away fans) the capacity drops to 27,700 ish.
With the new corner and no segregation the capacity will be a tad over 30,000 - probably 30,100 ish

Without the netting as segregation capacity is 28,387 so the new capacity will give us over 30,000 seats in the ground

LP and pp, of course the capacity was over 28,000 but what good is that if that appalling and unique no mans land in the South Stand cannot be used. So the true capacity is less than 28,000. Plus the proposed 1,800 does not make the magic 30,000.

I thought it was just me not getting to the magic 30,000.
However, rather notoriously, I can't add up so I didn't dare post.

Maybe they can move the covered up seats and put them in the new corner.
Seems such a waste.

Plus the proposed 1,800 does not make the magic 30,000. Monica, as I have said on another thread, the segregated seating area is as big as it is because of the small size of the concourse in the South stand, meaning it is not very flexible when it comes to dividing it to stay within the law as regards size and facilities on both the home and away sides. All they have to do to get round the problem is to enlarge the concourse by moving the wall with the turnstiles and exits on, back by ten feet or so. Problem solved! And do it on the DPD and the Boothen as well to make their concourses less like the Black Hole of Calcutta. :-) |

You won't find hundreds of roped off seats at the Etihad tomorrow or not even when they play Man Utd.
Those extra seats would make all the difference, as 29,000 sounds so much less than 30,000. And why the extra 184? Must mean that they have found them from somewhere. Will be interesting to see how many extra USABLE seats there will be.

The Etihad has larger concourses in comparison to the capacity of each stand than the Brit does. Our stadium was built too cheaply taking every opportunity to pare costs to the minimum they could legally do when it came to concourse size. But expanding the concourses in the Boothen, DPD and South stands would be neither complicated nor costly - and would solve a lot of problems - although the stadium would not look quite so compact. |

The Everton FA Cup match (in which Gazza played) attendance was 28,284..so an additional 1800 seats means capacity of 30,084 but we won't get that in the Prem because of segregation.

We need to sort the concourse out in the South Stand..reduce the netting (segregation) and then we'll get 30,000. Or just fill another corner in. |

As it stands, for cup games where the whole of the South Stand will be taken up by away supporters, we will have the potential to exceed 30,000 sales, for everything else, we won't.

You obviously have not read the Spurs edition fanzine properly, Monica where all this was explained! We shall be checking your subscription is up to date and be asking random questions going forward to check we have your full attention! |

It is probably the article in the Spurs edition which has confused Monica! In column three just after your reference to Kitson you quote the capacity of the new corner to be 3,000 - in fact the scoreboard corner plans specify a capacity of 1,800. |

That's yer lot. |
