Yeah he’s having you on with that one.

I think they’re meaning more season ticket holders will turn up, young kids etc (although personally I feel Saturday 3pm is often one of the poorer slots on that front)

Looking from the East Stand, there is always plenty of room when you get further out wide, particularly towards the easterly side. In fact ironically enough a few people around me on Friday mentioned that the North looked a little less busy than normal. Full overall capacity is 12,165 btw but no stadium in the country is ever used to the extent of every single seat for any manner of reasons. Even things as simple as the East Stand wheelchair gantry not being in use knocks 60 off the capacity straight away, and it soon mounts up.

It did.

Looks like they’ve only been allocated behind the sticks so would have fully expected them to sell that out at just shy of 2,000 Will be plenty of the unwashed in our end too, I expect. Most of whom probably live in Leigh

Wakefield Trinity plans submision
Leyther_Matt replied to Forever Trinity's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
In the case of a single match, yes, but well worth the investment over the course of the season, not least because of how many Wakefield fans use that side, too. -
Wakefield Trinity plans submision
Leyther_Matt replied to Forever Trinity's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Was surprised to find a significant number of Wakefield fans on the Western Terrace last week (more so than at the cup game) so there’s certainly still a benefit to improving that side where possible even if ignoring the away fans -

It would probably uncover just how much space there is on that side too which should help with any capacity increase -

Is the West Terrace going to be re-profiled in a similar manner to the North Stand? I think that’s much of what away fans take exception to, really, with the lack of consistency with the steps and poor elevation. -
RIP 'King' Kev Barlow, Newcastle Thunder
Leyther_Matt replied to gogledd's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
A very familiar face, even going back to the early 2000s when the post-merger Gateshead club was in its infancy and I recall seeing him on plenty of occasions since RIP Kev -
Cheers, must say that’s surprising (I’ve zoomed in on the original image so this might give a better indication of what I’d said previously)
-
Yeah I had to reduce the size of it so maybe doesn’t show up very well, but the main stand (on the right of the picture) had thousands of empty seats which is unheard of in my experience.

1895 for the chop?
Leyther_Matt replied to Blind side johnny's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I don’t think it was Blackpool not wanting it, but in true RL fashion the date got moved and nobody bothered checking availability. They’ve had Bash since then (the whole reason it was invented, in fact) and they need the cash. And Blackpool Council would be very supportive I’m sure.
