Well I just hope that our performance tomorrow eclipses the highlight of the announcement of the match attendance, I don’t know what I’m looking forward to more.
I don’t think we are that far off the level before they open East Upper, I know that a couple of corners have been put on sale BUT the club does know that a considerable number are waiting for the Upper to open and will wait until the bitter end and there is still one week left before the match.
Of course it’s bigger, there are far more seats than the east but the layout on the concourse are the same.
You can go on adding differences between the two, toilets are bigger, more kiosks, more gangway entrances but fundamentally the layouts are the same which is what I believe the OP was asking.
I also think that because it’s a tv match people are waiting for the Upper tiers but if they don’t open then there’s the comfort of your sofa to watch it on. I know it’s BT sport and not everyone has that but that’s my reason for waiting.
