It said in the planning papers that they were concerned about how we’d cope with the increase in capacity by 800+ with regards to parking etc - think they misunderstood that it was just an increase in seating.

They won’t be in the away end as the new stand being sold first Then if they need more tickets they go into the holker street end like past seasons

Not much to see yet some subframe to the left of the main stand and Telehandler and Cherry picker to the right and some portable seating in the Wilkie Way car park. Think you can paint your own picture from that.

A lot of away seats are empty at most League 2 Clubs, have you never watched the EFL Highlights.

Exactly. What we want at the moment is to see progress and what good it will bring. Today I spoke to a Carlisle fan living down here, who said that he wanted to see the ground improve. He might even come to watch us now as a result. Let’s be positive.

I believe the away capacity will be around 950. As for the number of teams filling it I would say around half a dozen. Wrexham, Stockport, Notts County, Bradford, possibly Grimsby who travel in good numbers given the size of the club. Tranmere should they be having a good season.
