So the same as any other stand now then. Although there is still a small walkway on the one end for people to reach the end seats which have angled slightly. And also that walkway is for the wheelchair users.

The extra rows in the lower tier make it noticeably bigger..

They're also the right shade of light blue. Looks well.

I suspect so as those rows would have been extended as well.

I remember the WBA game at home in the title season, the crowd was 47998 (capacity 48000) we were sat in the North Stand with 2 empty seats about 3 places away from us!!


I can 100% confirm that the attendance for the WBA game was over 48K. Myself and two other young whippersnappers went under the turnstiles in the Holte End

My quirky attendance story is Stoke at home in the promotion season, December 2018.  My Son had a ticket and couldn't go and the attendance was 35,999.

With the ticket already sold, wouldn't it have been counted anyway, or does someone have to physically attend to count?

God be with the days Doug getting his minions to work the clickers as folk trundled through the turnstiles.

The rule about tickets sold came in 1996 but we'd been doing it well before then.

Nervous about what I'm going to face in the Trinity Upper on Saturday. Had a prime seat on the end of a row with nice quick access to disappear for a piss, etc. -  A4-A5 area.

Translating the email that was sent a while back, I'm assuming they've disposed of the concourse to terrace entrance/stairway that I use and filled it with extra seats, so I'll now be smack bang in the middle of a ridiculously long row! That's what just shy of a grand gets you - A worse experience than the cheaper version last season.  🫤
