    Do you have any idea of the capacity with all the closed sections like Block A in the main stand, lower TL Dallas and the first few rows in the kop plus the segregation.

    The full house against Liverpool was 24,343. You can probably work back from there.

    The whole of TL Dallas, plus the Midland Road segregation gap, plus block A in the main stand, probably accounts for around 2,500 in total, so I'd guess around 21,800 with the whole of the TL Dallas closed, or around 22,600 if just the lower TL Dallas is closed.

    Thanks for that SB.
    Don't forget the first 3 rows of the Kop are blocked off as well, so it could be as low as 22,300

    You're right, atmosphere is so overrated. I wish we could go back to empty stadiums again.

    In fact, why bother. Let's just tell the players to stay at home and the two CEOs or Chairmen can join a zoom call together and flip a coin.

    Lots care Fordy mate. The club might not have done well football wise over the past 6 years but our attendances are something for us to be proud of, cheap tickets or not. Mr Hughes is correct in that the players need to rise to playing in front of such crowds and we need to make the stadium a place where away players fear to come.
    The large crowds also keep us in the shop window , success on the field with average attendances of 17000 to 18000 will be noticed. When can you remember a season when our manager has been on the radio and in the national papers , like Mr Hughes. I was talking with a former CEO of the club last week, who told me there is interest in the club, promotion with good gates, might just persuade them to put in that bid and your wish of Rupp out , might just come true.

    Feels like every topic in existence has been covered, ladies and gentlemen.

    Only one thing left for it.

    BRING ON THE BANTAMS!
