  1. Can we afford just a few more rows of seats in the stadium?

     

    I've been doing a bit of maths and I reckon just 3 more rows of seats, requiring about 3 extra metres width on every stand, would bring us up to a much more acceptable maximum (4 corners filled in) stadium size of around 18,520 instead of the 16,000 in the plans.

     

    4 extra rows would be even better and give us a max capacity of 19,360!

     

    The maths for 3 extra rows (feel free to correct me):

    I think it was Lags who said there were going to be 20 rows of seats in each stand and AH says the Phase 1 capacity with 4 separate stands will be around 12,000.

     

    20 rows = 12,000 seats, therfore 1 row = 600 seats

    3 rows = 1,800 seats

     

    So 3 more rows ie 23 rows in every stand would bring the Phase One 4 separate stands configuration capacity up to 13,800 (12,000 + 1,800 = 13,800)

     

    When filled in the corners will be 3 rows bigger as well so instead of the extra 1000 per corner lets say there will 1180. After all the 3 extra rows of seats will get longer and longer the further back they go.

     

    With 2 corners filled in there will be 2 X 1,180 = 2,360 extra seats so the capacity will be 13,800 + 2,360 = 16,160.

     

    With 4 corners filled in there will be 4 X 1,180 = 4,720 extra seats so the capacity will be 13,800 + 4,800 = 18,520, not bad.

     

     

    4 extra rows (I wont bore you with the maths)

    An extra 4 rows requiring about 4 metres extra width on each stand would give us.

    4 stand capacity of 14,400

    2 corners filled in 16,880

    All 4 corners filled in 19,360.

     

    What do people think?
