I wonder if we can temporarily reduce the size of the away allocation while we have the North closed.
Only if the capacity had dropped further - below 30000 I think.

The updated plans show the two tier Trinity configuration. So presumably our capacity will increase from 37k to 38-38.5?

No that was factored in to the calculations and the reduction wasn’t as large as completely losing the North Stand.

As I said the bloke on X gets a little over excited every time he discovers stuff. But he means well!

Yeah, that's what was stated.

I suppose quick maths of ~43k (7k North) = 36k, so the 37k must come from the reconfigured Trinity. Plus I suppose the additional balcony area in the Holte/Trinity corner.

Is our fine home record in jeopardy now? When we play towards the North Stand, the opposing fans will feel emboldened and the families with kiddies in the Trinity will be quieter than church mice.

In this instance, he’s posted a pic that shows 5 rows of new seats instead of the walkway in the Trinity Road stand. What’s he got over-excited about?
