Not sure what you are referring to, but MC interview he said there would be Food/Drinks outlets at either side of the North Stand. I’m not sure how that works for the elite on the upper tier,. Perhaps they are allowed out to mingle with the unwashed while queuing for some snap.

If it’s segregated then you would have to have one for upper tier and one for lower. Or an entry point where people are given bands to exit and re-enter. I’m sure there’ll be a plan.

I don’t think it’s segregated but I don’t know for certain.

It's segregated.

The upper and lower have different pricing structures.

I have to say I am wondering how it will work and be marshalled.

Me too, not convinced that’s a great idea but I don’t care as I’m moving into the sit downs as soon as I can, my back can’t do 80 minutes anymore.

Makes me smile every time I think that we will have as genuine quality ‘sit down’ option

Will make a huge difference to a lot of people!

I plan on moving to the seated area too. I think the aim has to be to fill all 2500 seats with home fans and make it a real fortress.

I would be disappointed if we couldn’t fill it ourselves with home fans.

We won’t at first I don’t think. We had 1200 seats before and I only ever saw them filled twice. However over time then yes I’d hope to see the stand two thirds full for most games and full for some.

BV is a ground that lends itself to stand and even five years ago I’d not have considered sitting.

Be interesting to see if it does attract that day out moderately affluent family audience we have imho been lacking. On field improvement will bring back lapsed fans not the ground. New fans will want both.

If I were the club then next season id be hitting those new houses on the relief road. Loads of young couples and families, many new to the area looking for things to do and ways to fit in. That imo is your east stand clientele.

Not much and that is discretionary.

Guessing that’s because the club don’t expect the capacity in new stand to be filled by home fans alone.

Hopefully we can fill it. Guess we will have to wait and see.
