Prawn Brigade Boxes

[BruceChatwin]

If they balance out any drop in DRS capacity by building up the Townend (something we should be doing anyway) then I'd probably be in favour.

As long as it doesn't look anything like Brisbane Road.

We talking about the middle part here?

Looking at this photo there is plenty of room. Make it happen Jed you cunt.

It's not worth losing 1000 seats over. Financially it probably is but from a logical point of view, no. You're just making a small ground even smaller.

Since when has our ground been "small"?

Last I heard we average 8,500 attendance in a 15,5000 seater stadium.

Fuck me, are we Darlington in disguise?

Hell of a stadium! Shits all over Wemberly!

If we were in the championship it would be full most weeks. So losing 1000 seats would be foolish, unless they couple the boxes in the DRS with a new Townend..

Eloquently put, and it's a kind offer Crispy... but i'll pass 

I was pointing out that our ground is only 55% full most of the time.


We don't sell out many games. If boxes will generate extra revenue, and the DR stand is the best place... why not do it?

Should do what Donny did on a similar stand at Belle Vue. Double stack fitted out Portacabins on the bank and use the space as its barely ever used and we'd probably still be able keep half of the seats on it. Maybe the boxes could support some kind of temporary roof and solve that problem at the same time. Seems a much simpler and more beneficial option to me.

I remember the one above the bank with Hansen, Hill and Lynam.

I don't think it would, get over the honeymoon period of the championship and I don't think it would be full, we wern't selling out last season everyweek when pissing league 2.

£25 in League 2 is hard to justify even when you're doing well. £25 in the championship is reasonable (provided they kept it at the same price). Probably half of the away sides would sell out too.

Bugger, worth a go I suppose!  

55%? I worked it out at 5.48% looking at your original figures

Official capacity stated on our website is now 14,700.

It's more like 14500 now, because of the missing seats in the bottom corner of the Stratton Bank. We got 14434 against Villa.

Didn't think about that, valid point - Very hard to justify indeed. I don't think it would stay £25 mind if they charged that last season, my season ticket actually went up from the League 1 relegation season to the league 2 season by £50..

Apparently Bournemouth season tickets are upwards of £500 next season...
