Everyone applying for a season ticket will be required to go on a diet. Suck in the guts lads, we’ll be bigger than Old Trafford yet.

Levy must have mistakenly over ordered on the seats by 441, and they can’t return them without paying the P&P. Squeeze em in!

Does this mean my knees are gonna be closer together :mad:
I kneed room to stretch out. And jump around like a loon when Kane bangs in another hattrick.
I think the most common way this really happens is that until it's built they're not 100% sure whether the back couple of rows of the lower/middle tier will have a clear view of the opposite goal or not. The overhang from a higher tier is probably obstructing the view of the opposite stand, but leaving all of the pitch just about visible. Could be something else of course but that seems most likely.

The are going to be various factors that allow us to find room, but we were always building it with a bit more leg and shoulder room then was available at WHL so you only need to shave a few mm off each one to pack an extra seat on the end of 440 odd rows.

Said years ago that they should build it big enough to hold more but with rail seating they could put in whatever amount of seats they wanted to get planning permission. Then as transport links etc... improved they could apply to increase the capacity with zero effort. I wonder if they have done this to an extent? I know they are installing rail seats. Probabably as someone said they were just estimates at the beginning.

Looks like we might have gazzumped Real Madrid ;):

Real Madrid lose £351m naming rights deal for Bernabeu after talks break down... and must now sell first-team stars to fund summer spending spree

I wouldn't put it past wily Daniel to double the naming rights sponsorship money by having removable signage and have one stadium name for all of our day matches and another sponsorship deal for night matches, or one sponsor for domestic matches and 1 for European games . ;)

A budget deal to sponsor the games we lose and a premium one for the games we win?

I'm just glad people have stopped posting about ring pieces. Thought I'd stumbled into a very different thread.

Extra capacity, albeit small, adds to the possibility of a ticket before 2025 anyway so I'm all for it!

I used to sit on the end of a row in the East Stand. Came back next season and the fuckers had put an extra seat in so I was second in!

Maybe the new seats are giant screen view only. So behind pillars, in the car park, changing rooms etc

Clare Kober, the leader of Haringey Council, has just announced her resignation but is staying around till May. Means we certainly want any council business done before then.
