Any sign of the club opening the south or North yet?

there's still 500 or so tickets on sale in a couple of blocks.

I haven't been monitoring closely but I think there are still W and/or E blocks to be realeased.

they've just released em i think. 250 or so tickets in W, 250 or so tickets in E just became available.

Still another chunk in W1I that can be released and I don't know if the South end block(s) have been put on sale yet.

With a full week in between games I think Goldson should be given match experience play alongside Duffy.

No, but with WSL and ESL almost sold out, and the way the concourses are configured, it must be nearly at the point where the South Stand is opened.

Would be good - not sure if CH will want to rest Duffy though. Cardiff game being postponed followed by the FA Cup next week has left us in good shape availability-wise and not knackered.

The ESL family stand restrictions still seem to apply. So there's very little left for anyone else. I need 4 together so think I am going to hang on for the south to open.

I think this validates those of us who said they should open more of the ground from the get go. I know some who would have gone in the north but have now made other plans. Frankly, tinpot.

Without checking, you may get 4 together in W1I now.

I would imagine they took into account the very poor show for the 'bigger' visit of Reading earlier this season.

And didn't take into account a rare Saturday 3pm kickoff, and that 18000+ watched us in round 3 v Wrexham in 2012.

The strength of the side we fielded, but mostly we could sit in our own, precious seats.

Why south and not north?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Why south and not north?

Because the South Stand concourse connects to West Lower which helps reduce staffing costs, whereas there is a solid wall between the north and WSL / ESL.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Also, that area may be staffed already to some degree for 'aways'.

it is a real shame that the club underestimated the current feelgoodfactor and failed to market this game properly.

£10 adults and kids for a quid + positive marketing would have seen the lower bowl and concourses sold out. It is almost like they don't want anyone to go.

Yup ,first bit of negative thinking/planning by the club for a very long time , hopefully it will be declared POTG by friday and encourage more to attend and help fill up the south stand section .

Agreed. We could have sold out the entire lower stadium with just a little push on ticket sales.

 

[Springal]

Just a thought, but is there maybe a commitment to providing Park and Ride etc if we hit a certain capacity? Especially given the problems with Southern at the moment?

Proper fans will be there.....Just saying
