Pidge Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Looking at the picture of the crowd at Brighton Chelsea, fans were every 4th seat in each row positioned in the gap of the row above and below. So the same number of fans as you say LaticMark. Complicated at the end of the row! Just thinking how you get past if you need to. Turn back to back?

Dave_Og Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm guessing that the entrance and exit routes at the Amex are rather more open than those in our main stand. As are the entry and exit routes to the black hole of Calcutta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 From Trust Oldham: 19th August 2020 - Complaints regarding the closure of the Joe Royle Stand: CLUB RESPONSE: "The Club recognises the disappointment of fans, is striving to resolve this situation and expects to issue a detailed statement by the end of next week." We're still waiting for the club's response - or do we give them another day as it's a bank holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans positioned every 4th seat in a row was the norm at BP last season, so we conform anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their was only 2500 at the Amex which has a capacity of circa 30000. The concourses and area around the stadium is quite vast certainly alot bigger than what is in the main stand I think the capacity of BP will be significantly lower than 1/4 full when you factor everything in. You certainly can't have any social distancing in the upper tier concourse of the main stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Many of the older end ( of which we have many ) will choose to stay away if the threat risk remains as now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsrblue Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 11 hours ago, Pidge said: That estimate may not be far off LaticMark. I’m sure they have to work on 1.5 m spacing though. I can’t see that being only one seat. People from the same family could sit together. So if logistics can work that out it may help. Clearly you can’t sit next to walkways, and that will be one maybe two vertical rows lost. At the trial Brighton vs Chelsea friendly I don't think people from the same family etc were allowed to sit together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above information on season tickets is for the Main Stand and Jimmy Frizzell Stand and not the Joe Royle Stand at this moment in time, where season tickets holders seats will remain on file.

kowenicki Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I see Wigan’s prospective new owners think that the asking price of £3m for the whole DW stadium is too much... they are prepared to play at Leigh Sports Village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're skint then, and buttering the fans up for a move. It cost nearly £30m to build. You could get 3,000 capacity ground of now defunct Thurrock (and former FA Cup opponents) for that.
