1) If we filled in the corners - are there enough fans to fill them?
2) What do yout think about moving the tunnel or moving the away fans away from it into a less influential part of the stadium

1) Not if we go down. We need to keep up these attendances for another season at least before we'd consider it.
2) What about the dressing rooms?

1) Yes i think we would fill them, but their wont be that much gained anyway
2) If the changing rooms were moved aswell i would love to see the tunnel inbetween JS and Boothen, or even somehow coming out of the corner of Seddon/Boothen

or even somehow coming out of the corner of Seddon/Boothen how the f*ck would that happen , nice thinkin though 1) if we go down , no they wont be filled , if we stay up , then yes possible 2) id like to see them coming from JS/Boothen or more traditionally down the centre somehow.

How are you going to move the changing rooms? They're in a corner on their own right now. To be in the centre of a stand, wouldn't they need to be where the concourses are?

I think if we did get round to filling the corners in then the best bet would be fill in the corner where the score board stands & put the away fans there. Reasons being... 1.) It gets Stoke fans behind both goals (looks better on the tv) 2.)Access to & from the ground would be easier & safer for away fans, they could perhaps cordon off an area where it would mean no hanging around for the away fans, literally park up & go, not a holding pen...a sort of corridor or slip road taking them straight into the ground & straight out after the match, have there own entrance & exit etc...not like the current shambles 3.) It would get more banter inside the ground, away fans with home fans on either side would create a cracking atmosphere!!! thoughts...???

1) Yes i think we would fill them, but their wont be that much gained anyway 2) If the changing rooms were moved aswell i would love to see the tunnel inbetween JS and Boothen, or even somehow coming out of the corner of Seddon/Boothen 2 stupid points made by yourself there. 1) If the corners were filled in, another 5,000 seats approx added to ground capacity. all paying for ticket, food and programme. average £40. £40 x 5,000 = £200,000 MORE income per game. Then £200,000 x 19 games = £3,800,000 MORE income per year. A MASSIVE gain that you said wouldn't be much? And how on earth are you going to get the changing rooms and tunnel in the middle? Have it going through the concourse?

Why alter where the changing rooms are? Completely pointless.
Pretty sure we could squeeze anther 2500 odd in if filled in a corner. Would like to have seen the scoreboards corner seated and allocated to away supporters giving us the rest of the ground and also freing he segregated seats up.
Windbreakers in the other corners..

Willard and Soi Cowboy, we couldn't just put the away fans in a corner. A corner would hold an extra 1,500 to 2,000 fans and we have to give away fans 2,800 seats at present (and 3,000 if we expand to 30,000 seats or more). And that is just for league games - for cup games we have to offer the away club 15% of the capacity which would be 5,000 ish for an enlarged stadium.
Eventually if/when all the corners are filled in I'd expect that the away fans would get a corner plus, maybe, a third of the South stand for league games and 2/3 of the South stand (or a bit of the Seddon if we moved the family area) for cup games.
Moving the changing rooms/tunnel ....... No reason why this couldn't be done as the stadium is expanded. At the moment the "tunnel" corner of the stadium is a bit of a mess with a club shop that is too small and a ticket office which looks tatty, as well as offices. If that corner was redeveloped to add seats and remove the changing rooms and offices, a bigger shop and ticket office could result - with the offices and a new media carpark put on part of the south car park. The JS/Boothen corner could then be built with seats, new changing rooms and a tunnel surrounded by Stoke fans. The away team coach could drop the players off and then drive back to the south coach park as happens at many grounds.
