We had just under 5k last season without the East Stand didn't we? Add another 2k and that's around 7k isn't it? That doesn't take account of the few hundred temporary seats we've lost though.

New stand is 2500

I think we had 4 sellouts last year (and another very close) at 4 710 so another 2 500 would up it to 7 200.



It’s a whole new ball game but our season ticket holders is already higher than the Catalan game.

If we can push it over the 5000 mark that would be the icing on the cake. There will be some walk up and add in the away fans too (option of cheap west £10 tickets or premium east stand £25) and we could see some regular 5k + attendances.

Assuming that all the season ticket holders turn up.

Impressive recruitment off and on the field, smart kits, new stand opening (finally) and fantastic season ticket sales. Match day 1 can’t come soon enough!

I’d expect them to most games or what would be the point of purchasing.

Naturally it would fluctuate by percentage with individuals commitments but that should go without saying as common sense. Not something you can guage till after the event.

I'm thinking more of the 'freebies'.

Ellis has gone on record as saying he will defo increase the capacity of the North stand

Not sure how you could do this other than perhaps dismantling the structure and maybe re-constructing the original terrace and then putting roofing on it (probably what should have been done originally).

If that were to happen could the north stand roof be moved to the west and boxes removed.

There will likely be alot of options but it’s a shame the north stand works have left so much wasted space around it. Though they look smarter from pitch facing.

The roof is the reason they couldn't go further back. To keep the same incline the roof had to be lifted which increased the costs drastically.
Ellis obviously has the money to do it.

Higher the roof and put another section of terracing could be one of the options.

And if they do that as well as finishing the lower section with new terracing and some concession stands it will be one of the best End Terraces in the sport!
I really can’t think of one that’s better, newer maybe but for the steep angle and the capacity it would have to be right up there.

To be honest, if I had the money I'd do the West terrace and make that the covered area for the home fans and let the away fans go north.
It's a much better view from the side.

Dont worry about the developement of the ground the Ellis's do that very well if you saw any of their structures u would understand they will do it very well and quickly.
Think its time for us all to pinch ourselves and be thankful we have an owner who is a genuine fan. Matt will take this club forward best he can and having known him for many years now I will say hes on another level from any owners of rugby league clubs I know, its not the money its the brain and the drive he has. He may make a few mistakes early on but he will learn very quickly and formulate a plan to get this club back to where it belongs, hold on tight its going to be a fun ride.

With a packed North Stand, we should all be looking to 'raise the roof' this coming season

Bearing in mind how quick the season tickets have sold, and hopefully if we can bounce straight back up, we may have to consider all avenues of increasing capacity.

Not sure how much the capacity would increase by

Sorry, don't agree.
Home fans should be behind the sticks - we moan on here when we go to away grounds and get a view from the side!!


If home fans want to stand on the Western Terrace, fine and crack on but not for me thanks...

I don't know any other team that puts away fans down the side.
The better view of the whole pitch is down the side, which is why the posh seats are always there......in every sport.

But I guess it's personal choice.

Used to enjoy changing/exchanging ends with the away fans back in the day. Once we became three sided that tradition ended and the South end of the Western Terrace became the best place to be for one half of the game. Considered returning there next year but my friends now prefer the North Stand, so it will be there until we degenerate sufficiently to require seating.

I agree on this.

After 40+ years in the North Stand I have got my season ticket in the new east stand.

I do think the armosphere in the north stand is good, and I wouldnt want us to lose that though now.

Maybe in time though, who knows, we may need to utilise all four sides to accommodate supporters

Likewise. I've moved from the South Stand (yes, there was one) to the North Stand but I've finally decided to sit down and with the new East Stand it seems to be a good time. Will miss the North Stand.

Saints and Wire for a start when I went........

Really? Warrington is standing behind posts when I went.
Sts I always sit down at side so can't remember.

Obviously if you sit in the posh seats it's down the side though.
