So do we know if, when and how the extra seating capacity is going to come about? As far as I know there haven’t been any recent planning applications so what is intended can’t mean anything that requires planning. I’ve seen that 900 ST holders will be moved, presumably to accommodate additional GA+ seats. I’ve seen the CGI of potential changes in the Witton Executive Boxes and the photo above indicates some work going on in the North Stand. However, none of those things increase capacity and I’ve not seen anything that indicates where we are going to get 2000-3000 additional seats that Heck talked about with his ‘seating optimisation’ study at the last FAB meeting. Where is the space? Are they going to make the seating narrower to fit more in? I can’t see that happening given the seats are small enough as they are. I don’t think rail seating enhances capacity at all as rail seats tend to take up the same space as a normal seat. That magnitude of additional capacity is effectively two additional rows all the way around the ground. Does anyone know anymore or is there something in another thread.
