Just admire it's beauty.

Aye, the ground looks good as well!
What a lovely city we live in.

That Rovers fan was right, it does look a lot like the Mem.

It says post a picture not post a video

(In before Rammy)

God, how have you all coped without a new picture/video for 11 days?!?

We've started a group PM on here and plan between us what to post in the thread and when to get max effect.

It's been a nightmare Rammy. The shrink has been called about withdrawal symptoms.

 

[Ciderup]

I think we can all condemn the mindless dickheads that defaced the Mem, again, overnight.
What on earth were they thinking? Brain dead scum!

Thought this might be the best place for this

One big League One stadium coming your way.

I don't even think we'd even come above those top two next season with our shiny new 2.5sides of a ground.

 

[hodge]

We'd have been above Bradford had we had a ground big enough to allow more fans.

I'm talking about next seasons likely attendance there chum, next season. Oh aye.

If we do alright I expect us to get around the 17k mark tbh, also a case of people wanting to see the finished stadium

In L1 or the Championship?

If we're in the Championship we'll get 20k if we're doing alright - we've sold out every game this season at home with weeks to spare and we've been dire.

Lansdown said he wants 20k+ gates next season minimum, so I expect he'll do some sort of ticket deal of some sort.

All the noise this season has been about how successful the improved catering facilities have been and how the sales figures are up year on year (and apart from Dolman access restrictions last season, the ground was the same as is for catering so it is comparable). So the quantity of bums on seats is going to be crucial to keep this income stream going. There'll certainly be a trade off applied on reduction in ticket costs against maximising the other incomes.

It very much leaves early-bird season ticket sales risky if they are considering relegation up to the final day of the season. How can you promote early-bird prices in a potential Second tier season against Third tier? Also with all the movements taking place, there'll be long periods of exclusivity like last season. Can't price for second tier then get relegated and subsequently cut the match-day price to get bums back in...

In L1? I can't see it being anywhere near 17K in L1 TBH, not even close. A lot of people will be a tad disillusioned if we drop straight back down in the manner we are currently showing.

I said before it would be based on us doing fairly well Ie play offs or better, with us winning and the combo the new stadium I think we could be around the 17k mark. I don't think people would stay away long if we were to hit the ground running.

'We've sold out every game this season at home with weeks to spare '

Is that actually true?

'We've sold out every game this season at home with weeks to spare '

We've sold out every home games, yes. Usually a week before the match as well.

Mind you, for the first 5 or 6 games the capacity was only 14k as there were seats in the new South Stand that they weren't allowed to sell until the health & safety regulations got passed.

Haven't heard anything on the Preston game yet having said that, but there's no reason for anyone to want to pay £25 or whatever to watch it. Especially as we'll get extra tickets given from the away end because PNE won't sell the 1.3k.

 

[Ciderup]

'We've sold out every game this season at home with weeks to spare '

Indeed it is, as mentioned above. All available home seats have been sold for every game so far. Well before kick off as well. Bear in mind we are at a 16,000 capacity at the mo but the fans can't do any more than sell what's available.
Next season will be a different matter when we are at 27,000 capacity.
Top end L1, I would guess at 12-15K.
Still in the Championship, we should be at around 18-20K I should think.

 

[TomPNE94]

You're giving away tickets to Rugby ST holders on Tuesday night so I doubt it's sold out.

They're on general sale at the mo so it appears not. I would assume the egg chasing fans will use the capacity not used by the away fans in the Atyeo stand. That's not a criticsm by the way, it's an awful trip for a midweek game and it's not like we haven't played you before recently. If they don't put them there, I have no idea where they're going as the rest of the place will be pretty much full.

He better get his cheque book for players then...

 

[Gerry Gow]

We might have 20K+ next season but I think the novelty of a new stadium will wear off after that season, especially if we're struggling in this division like we are now.

We will probably have 16-17K I should imagine.

 

[Ciderup]

Roof extensions going on if anyone's still interested.

 

[Ciderup]

A couple more (from OTIB).

 

[Ciderup]

West stand / Atyeo corner taking shape. It looks a lot better IMHO.

 

[Ciderup]

With the roof extension, this is starting to look VERY nice (from OTIB)
