I'm sure someone will have the exact figures. Current capacity published as 10,638.

 

Approximate figures:

 

Chaddy End 3,500

 

RRE (Large) 3,000

RRE (Small) 1,600

 

Main Stand (Upper) 1,500

Main Stand (Lower) 1,000

 

 

RRE (Large) 3500

RRE (Small) 1100

Honestly? Can't for the life of me imagine the small section being more than half of what the large section is?

It makes sense if you think about it in terms of the blocks.

 

4 blocks in the large section (L,A,T,I) and 2 in the small section (C, S), plus the I block in the large section is slightly smaller, which may account for the 1600/3000 slightly more than half ratio.

Not one paying supporter would have been lost had they made the RRE away fans only again, which it has been for most of our history.

 

I fear a few hundred Chaddy Enders will be lost with this totally uneccessary decision.

 

Long standing Chaddy Enders & Main Standers have stood/sat in the same spot or seat, with or near the same people, for years and their parents and even grandparents before them.

 

You don't :censored: about with that type of "customer".

Especially for so little potential gain.

 

In fact, what do the club stand to gain here?

I don't see anything other than maybe slightly louder singing, but won't the main singers want to be in the New Stand next to the away fans?

 

And this Family Area in the small section of the RRE - for two years kids have been watching this fantastic new stand go up. Imagine the conversations in August

 

"are we going in the New Stand dad?"

 

"err, no"

 

"why not?"

 

"season tickets are still cheaper in the Family Section"

 

"oh, so we're staying in the Chaddy End? Same seats?"

 

"Err, no"

 

"Well where then?"

 

"You know that small section of the away end?......"

I've put 2 and 2 together to make 5.

 

For next season add about 150 to the RRE total. New total 4,750.

That's what it will be when they fill the gap between the I and the C with seats to make the I section bigger.

Since Latics fans moved out of the Chaddy, Latics have scored one goal at the Chaddy End (over three months ago). We've scored 11 at the RRE.

 

Visitors have scored 10 at each end.

Not totally unrelated, only 4 goals in the 1st half (2 of those goals were v Scunthorpe), yet 8 in the second half this season.
